Wedding Band Engraving 101

You're mine sucker is exactly what I think of as a phrase for a wedding band. That's what I think of however not necessarily what I would want. But someone did because it was listed on E-Weddingbands list of their favorite wedding band engravings. My husband took it upon himself to engrave his own wedding band. His clever phrase is do not remove. I would have liked something like a perfect fit or Greg & Lauren forever or my heart is yours. Something simple and sweet. If you're stuck on stupid trying to come up with a sweet phrase, check out E-Weddingbands.

Adorn Brides

Champagne taste and beer bottle pockets? Adorn Brides can help, at least for the evening. Shop, rent, wear and return. It's that simple to have beautiful jewelry to wear on your wedding day, or any special event. I like the Beckford Necklace, a beautiful sapphire and diamond necklace in white gold.  Simply lovely.  Easy to wear, yet so hard to return!

L | D Finds : Ella Scott Jewels

Twitter just becomes more and more awesome by the day! It is a portal to all the talented people out there. Today, Twitter helped me to cross paths with Ella Scott Jewels, who messaged me about her Etsy shop. Because I love finding new things, of course I checked out her jewelry. Well, I am glad I did...it's fabulous and affordable! There were beautiful bracelets, necklaces, earrings, bouquet crystals, jeweled hair pins. Everything. 

As I was checking out her store, my mind was racing with uses for all of her pieces. Give me one of each please. I guess I should have prefaced this by confessing that I don't really need an excuse to shop. It's true, I am a shopaholic. If I like, than I will probably buy it. This urge has slowed down since the birth of my daughter but if you need justification to spend your money, Ella Scott Jewels are perfect gifts for bridesmaids, a "just because" gift for a friend / wife / mother / daughter / yourself, birthday gift, mother's day, to adorn your bouquets, and on and on and on! 

I'm born and raised in New York City but I currently live in Jupiter, which is a small town on the east coast of Florida. For me, it's been an adjustment moving to Florida. Don't get me wrong, I'm not out in the boondocks but I certainly don't have the world at my fingertips anymore. With that being said, Etsy is like the next best thing to living in the city. Instead of walking around the village, now I search stores on Etsy. Nowhere is like NY, but it's like the next best thing. I encourage everyone to visit Etsy, you will be glad you did!

Beautiful Things

The world is filled with pretty little things; it's actually overflowing with them. Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I'm posting some of the P.L.T. I've seen lately. Such as, this red rose ring by designer Daniela Swaebe. What fun!
Maybe you yearn for something a little less flashy. Okay, check out Ippolita's 18K gold Art Link Necklace. Perfect for both thee office or a night out.
Something for the ears? Bridget Lynne's Double Aspen Leaf earrings are two real aspen leaves dipped in 24K gold, with a 14K gold filled chain dangling beside. This is four inches of fabulous! The Lemon Quartz Briolettes would be a nice selection as a bridesmaid gift!

Fashion and special events go hand in hand. Honestly, when is there a better time to bust out all your gorgeous jewelry, slamming shoes and couture clothing than for a special event? It absolutely goes without saying that any of the items spotlighted in this post would make a statement at your event. A few of the pieces on this page are on the extravagant side. At least for me they would be extravagant purchases. Hey, if you can afford 'em, go for it. After you buy them, just call me to help plan your next soiree! But great deals do exist for great jewelry!!!! I happened to find all the items listed above just by surfing the web. So take ten minutes and search the Internet. It's worth it! You'll be able to find beautiful, affordable and unique jewelry to wear to your next event or to your own wedding. Happy hunting!
