Midas Touch

I believe it's both important to let your light shine through your talents, spirit as well as in your style.

Jewelry, particularly of the gold variety, elevates your outfit creating a look that's elegant, eye-catching and expensive looking.

Jewelry with an outfit, as simple as a tee and jeans, can take a look from basic to stylish.

Here are some of my favorite gold pieces ...

I have this one and love!

classic!

Friday Favorites: Belts

TGIF! What a week! And it's the last one before Thanksgiving. I don't know about you but this month has flown by for me.

This week the ladies bible study I participate in finished for the semester with a lovely brunch (my small group has planned for a Christmas gathering in a few weeks so we can see each other again before the end of year), I hosted a gathering of kindergarten mamas from Vivian's school for coffee & breakfast and continued to fill my days with my usual to-do's.

This weekend will be Vivian's last soccer game of the season (her cousin is surprising her and coming to watch - she's going to burst with excitement) and a celebration of my sister's birthday that includes a sleepover!!

When I am putting an outfit together and have chosen the main pieces accessorizing is truly the step that creates the most style. The jewelry adds shine & sometimes color, handbags & shoes add texture and sometimes print, jackets can add all of these elements as well as structure & shape!

My favorite finishing piece is a belt. Belts can add shine, color, texture, pattern and the ultimate shape.

I'm starting to consider myself a belt collector, my favorite being my vintage ones!

STYLE FACTS: Belts do NOT have to be designer to be chic! In fact - I encourage with all things purchasing on sale.

Here are some great belts to layer jeans, dresses, skirts and even blazers with ...

I love this over an all black outfit

CLASSIC

in 2 colors and 2 metal finishes

I have this one and it's truly timeless

METALLIC

in 8 different finish/color options

Friday Favorites: Local Jewelry

TGIF! Gals, nothing impresses me more than the talents of others. We all have special gifts that are unique to us, and when I see others using theirs it makes me proud. I want to encourage and support others in their endeavors.

My Necklace

Allow me to cheer on these local gals for their talent in jewelry ....

Lawren Taylor

I met Taylor, the creator/designer a year ago as her daughter was in dance class with Vivian.

I'm so tickled I befriended her as we have so much in common.

She has such a be a beautiful array of pieces sure to suit any style.

Erin McDermott

This gal creates such a variety of pieces from dainty to statement.

I've gifted her jewelry countless times. She also carries other items like handbags and home accessories.

It love their use of natural elements.

This brand is owned and designed by 2 sisters.

I've been obsessed with finding shark teeth and this designer not only makes jewelry from shark teeth but will wrap the ones you find for you. I am having her wrap one for myself, and 2 for gifts.

I have my eye on a Megalodon pendant!

Friday Favorites: Beautiful Baubles

TGIF! Gals this week went by fast, they say that happens when you're having fun and I surely have. Jewelry is a shiny, beautiful and unique way to add fun to your outfit. Think about it, you put on a pretty top, jeans and your favorite flats and while it's cute and put together it's missing shine and a whole lot of personality.

Jewelry really showcases your style. I have a gal pal who loves sculptural and handmade jewelry and another who loves big bright baubles and another who only wears fine jewelry. Accessorizing can really showcase who you are.

For me, I find that I tend to wear the same classic pieces daily and only style the fun, unique pieces for special occasions. It's one of my goals this year to wear more of my jewelry.

I want to share with you some beautiful baubles from some smaller designers sure to add a beaucoup of style
