Friday 5: Earrings that Shine

TGIF! Gals, the weather here in Charlotte has been A M A Z I N G !!!!! Temperatures in the 70's and lots of sunshine! PRAISE!

Baby girl and I have been outside everyday (my legs are feeling it from all the running). She LOVES playing outside, the grass and leaves are new toys to play with.  But most of all, she loves the wind in her hair from swinging.
Ok I'll stop gushing over her #sorrynotsorry

I'm an earring gal all the way.  I never leave home without a pair in my ears.  And although I have tiny ears and a big mane than tends to hide them I love a statement pair. The key is that they are light weight.  I actually know a gal who's earring ripped her ear EKKKK
I also have sensitive ears so certain metals will irritate them.

If you've been reading here for a while you know there's one pair I've been wearing for several years on epic repeat.  Here are my favorites and I start with the pair I wear the most ...

These gold hoops are weightless and delicate but large so they still make a statement.

I wear them constantly!

These gold disc earrings I've had a few months now.  They're a bit on the heavier side so I wear them more for short occasions like church or a outing. But I think they're great for the office.

Are you noticing a gold theme?!! These earrings are definitely my evening go-to's.

When I'm getting all gussied up I want to shine and these are just the pair to do just that!

Gold Fancy Earrings

Pearls ladies, are forever earrings! Classic and polished.  I have several pairs in various colors.

If I could only own one pair of earrings for life, white pearl studs would be it.

** Another classic I want to address are diamond studs. I don't own a pair of 'real' ones because I'm too afraid I'd loose them.  I recommend these simulated diamond studs. 

These are my fun earrings.  Colorful and in a silk tassel they cheer up any look. 

Pink a pair in your favorite color to add your personality to your outfits.

We all have our favorite shops.  Whether it's for coffee and baked goods, a local wine bar, home decor or for unique clothing and accessories.

A couple years ago I found one of my favorite shops and the best thing I ever walked out with was a dear gal pal.  It's owner is a treasured relationship that I cherish no matter the distance between us. I love any excuse to leave the Queen City to visit this small town on the water.

This shop caught my eye for it's beautiful home decor and linens (and all the blue and white I could ever want) but it has grown so much, offering a wide range of must haves.  From furniture to clothing, baby stuff to entertaining ware, linens to jewelry, gifts to art and even design services .... it basically has it all!

An unexpected trip to the coast a couple weeks ago allowed me to have a surprise stop in!  Typically I scoop up home decor or local handmade creations but this time I spotted this dress and had to have it.

It blends modern and fun design with the classics.  Allow me to define.  The mirrored v-neckline (front and back) with choker combined with the black and white windowpane print creates a mix of elements that's sure to have gals stopping you to ask 'Where did you get that dress?'.  My response 'Beaufort Linen Company, You must check them out!'.

This dress pairs modern bodice lines with classic grid graphics that can go from casual with a pair of sandals or wedges to professional with a pair of pumps.  Gals, I literally go through the styling options in my mind when selecting garments.  And don't forget the unlimited amount of color you can add with accessories.

I thought I would share with you a round up of my current favorites at the shop but there are just too many and a constant influx of new things added everyday.  So you must visit their website to shop around and follow on Instagram to stay up to date on their latest arrivals.

I promise you'll want some of everything! And just maybe you'll add this dress to your wardrobe :)
