Fashion Editor’s Blog: Blinged-Out Brights
The dull gray days of winter have me yearning for some some color, some sparkle, some in-your-face, over-embellished obnoxiously bright, perfectly clashed designs. I’m actually digging all of the sleek minimalistic designs these days, but today, I just want to scream BRING ON THE COLOR, BRING ON THE BLING!!! I’m not the only one …

I didn’t want my last blog post on pretty ballerinas to confuse you into thinking I’m all sugar and spice. You see just as much as I love me a pretty pastel chiffon and lace design, I also am a rough-around-the-edges rock-lovin’ chick (who admits she is a bit fearful …

Well look here, we’ve found the perfect pair of glasses to kick off “back-to-work Wednesday.” We’re not sure if it’s the wave design on these frames that reminds us of a snake as we’re now in 2013 and slithering into the Chinese Year of the Snake. Or if it’s that …

Not to get all nostalgic on ya’ll, but thinking back on all of the items we own, we can’t think of any that are more valuable than our photographs. Pictures are among life’s most valued treasures; they need no words as they speak for themselves. Like a piece of fine heirloom jewelry, …

With the cost of gold dropping, we found it the perfect time to splurge and spoil a close pal of ours. The one that we spend the majority of our days with, one that we share the most intimate details of our lives with, one that we complain to and …

We’re all for loading up on good luck symbols, we figure it can’t hurt right? You can never have enough four leaf clovers, horse shoes or wish bones. But what about a symbol that actual wards off evil such as the evil eye? Logically it seems as if it might …

Nothing gets us more excited than a gorgeous piece of jewelry…except for well, a gorgeous piece of jewelry that doesn’t break our bank (but looks like it does), which is exactly why we love Freida Rothman’s collection. After all, it’s not everyday that you find a jewelry treasure like this–where each piece looks …
