Love Heals Jewelry

December 26, 2011

Santa left a little trinket in my stocking that has a great story behind it.  All of pieces made by Love Heals are handmade in California and benefit one of three charities.  From the Greener Ethiopia collection, each piece sold translates to 10 trees planted.  Sales from the Vitamin Angels collection provide nutrients to children in need.  And the Generation Rescue collection benefits children with Autism.  This makes me love my necklace even more.  Thank you, Mr. Claus!

The Woods “Shelly” Bracelet – at Forty Five Ten

December 20, 2011

Another great gift at Forty Five Ten.  This delicate necklace from one of my favorite jewelry lines, The Woods, comes in three different pave diamond charms: a flower, moon, or Hamsa hand (for good luck).  It can also be worn as a bracelet. The best part?  All proceeds go to The Family Place. $75

December 5, 2011

Maybe you need to fit in a little shopping for yourself this holiday season?  Here’s what I would be wearing on the beach if I wasn’t so super sized this pregnancy:

And I couldn’t resist these.  How can you not be merry in this ensemble?!  At least I can still fit in shoes (for now)!

VOD always provides my fashion fix.

Kimberly McDonald at Forty Five Ten Today

October 29, 2011

I’m back after a really bummer week.  If you, like me, need a little distraction, you might head to the trunk show and personal appearance of jewelry designer Kimberly McDonald today at Forty Five Ten in Dallas.  She’s the one who makes those gorgeous geode and gemstone pieces, including the subtle sliced diamond ring that barely ever leaves my right hand.  Not sure if this piece is an earring or a necklace, but WOW:

The Portland Collection by Pendleton

October 6, 2011

Pendleton Woolen Mills, a century-old Pacific Northwest company known for it’s Native American inspired blankets, rugs, and apparel, has teamed up with three Portland-based designers to debut a more fashionable line–The Portland Collection–which still embodies the classic heritage of Pendleton.  It caught my eye in a few fashion magazines, and when the new Anthrolopolgie catalog arrived, there is was again.

For the Fall Fashion Wish List

September 8, 2011

I don’t know about you, but I’m happy to have shed my cutoffs and flip-flops for a few months.  Fall fashion is upon us and I’m thinking I need some pants with shine.  Love these two looks from net-a-porter.com:

Kiboots

Picture 126

Vintage killim rugs and leather boots: two of my favorite, yet usually unrelated, things.  Thankfully a stylish young couple in Amsterdam has combined these two elements (as was first done in the hippie 60s) in a line of handcrafted boots for women and men called Kiboots.  Since each is unique, the hard part is picking a pair.  I couldn’t decide, so I let my husband choose one night after several margaritas.  They just arrived and I am very content with his selection (thank you, M Crowd).  Now if the temp would just dip below a thousand degrees….
