Charming

I am a fan of charms because of their whimsy. Charms, amulets, and talismans have long existed in history as objects that bring their owners good luck, love, protection, and great fortune. Definitely a fun piece of jewelry to have and it doesn’t hurt to have that extra dose of good luck. The Lucky Charms Necklace was part of Jewelmint’s December 2011 collection. I thought the size of the charms are just right (I like that they are on the bigger side) but I thought that the necklace as a whole could’ve felt more substantial. It’s adjustable so I could wear it short when worn with collared shirts or longer when worn with chunky knits.

The charm collection includes: a lock, crown, heart, wishbone, key, love, lions, swallow, and a clover.

I thought it paired well with the Lover’s Locket (another fun, whimsical piece from JewelMint)!

Shades of Red

BRRRRR. Baby it’s cold outside! As much as I HATE winter, I do love the colors, shades and textures that dominate my outfit choices during this time of the year. Oh, and I also love the smells! Hot coco, gingerbread cookies, my favorite holiday candles, peppermint! And let’s not forget the sounds (Glee’s Christmas Album, anyone?) and the tastes! My senses are awake and are in full use! I’m sure my cheery disposition will change as soon as the holidays are the over and the first major snow storm hits. But until then, ho ho ho!

A Studded Affair (or Two)

I have a new love – and her name is Rebecca Minkoff. I love the details in her designs, both the cosmetic and functional – the quilted leather, the petite studs, the leather laced chain strap that you can wear THREE ways, the size of the clutch that is perfect for all things girl, and the pockets (five of them!). Equally impressive is the woman behind the brand. I watched a good number of YouTube videos of Rebecca Minkoff and she seems so down-to-earth and so connected with what women want. The pictures below are of my newly acquired Affair- Small Quilt + Stud in Dove Grey and Blood Red – both from the Black Friday Sale. The sale was so good I swear it took my attention away from the delicious turkey and pumpkin bars that were served that weekend. I cannot wait to wear these!

I think J.Crew stylists are awesome. Their work gives me me so much inspiration. I am putting up this post to store some of that inspiration for future reference in a more accessible space.
