I love beautiful jewelry, especially when it helps a good cause. Alex and Ani is that company. They have some really cute pieces, from rings and bracelets, to necklaces and earrings. They also have lots of charms that you can add to an existing bracelet, each of which expands to ensure a perfect fit for every wrist. Here’s what on my wish list from Alex and Ani. Lotus Peace Petals Spoon Ring {$28} Birthstone (January) Ring Wrap {$28} Wanderlust Bangle Set (GodSpeed Charm Bangle, Marina Deep Sea Wrap, Marina Seabed Wrap) {$28, $38, $38} Spiral Sun Charm Bangle for Breast Cancer Awareness […]

Woman of Style: Blake Lively
“I feel like there are so many people I admire for so many reasons that I can’t look at one person’s life and say, “I want that life.” I want to make my own history.” – Blake Lively Blake Lively is a woman of style and substance, not to mention a fabulous wardrobe.

I mean, who didn’t love her stylish outfits, am I […]
I’m Blushing…
I really loved the blush-toned color trend of spring, and I think this color has transitioned well into summer. Some people call it rose quartz while others call it blush. However you define this color, it is simply elegant. You can wear blush in many ways, and you can even decorate using blush-toned colors. I love the blush-toned outfits. From wearing a fit-and-flair dress for an evening out, or a blush-toned wedding dress, to an off-the-shoulder midi, or softening a leather skirt with a blush shirt… you can wear this color trend anytime of the year.

It is not something I would normally buy, but I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone (i.e., black dresses, black jeans, black shirts, etc.). This is the front of the dress. This […]
