your initials in gold!

Admit it – we’re all obsessed with seeing our “name in lights“….or in this case, in gold on our arm! I’m not quite obsessed with initial engraved items but there is something personal and chic about them in small doses (initial necklace, charm, monogramming on the purse) and it’s very now. Enter stage left, this gold-filled initial bracelet. So Nashelle — a small warehouse in Bend, Oregon — started making these fun pieces and got picked up by Nordstrom. I

My Bracelet

I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my recent purchase – this Chloe rounded cuff bracelet. I’m in love with it and started out wearing it everyday – until I realized that I am not nearly as dainty as I thought. The clean designs picks up nicks quickly so you have to be careful. Until I can slow down on my ‘roughhousing’, I only wear it when I’m going out…but still equally in love with it. It’s no longer available

Make A Statement With Statement Jewelry

I’m in the camp that says your jewelry should make an impact on your outfit. If you’re wearing it and it’s “so-so…not much to write home about“, why wear it? About seven months ago, I started the search for a fabulous bracelet that would stand on it’s own but be equally as comfortable with my other arm candy, and I wanted it to have some element of navy blue since it’s my signature color. Clearly, the search yielded a few

To Get Your Rough-and-Tough On

I love this ring and bracelet set by Paige Novick at LaGarconne.  The cylindrical, double band ring is made of silver but has a black rhodium finish, and at $115 is a great value.  The $335 single strand braided leather and silver bracelet has ring closure clamps.  Separately they’re nice, but together they’re ‘ready to rumble’! Now we just need to find the perfect fitted leather jacket because we’ve already got the attitude….
