I’d say this was one of the top three conference experiences I’ve ever had. The response has been nothing short of…

Gorgeous New Jewelry For You To Get Into
My husband has learned over the many years of our marriage – I’m not one for generic jewelry. I’m not one who wants him to go to Jared and I don’t believe every kiss begins with Kay. I don’t generally go gaga for the pieces you see on display at the department stores. What…
Shop My Spring Into Summer QVC Lookbook!

Up and Coming Jewelers You Should Know!
Summer’s a time for maxi dresses and flowy tops, sandals and flip flops, bold, bright colors and big, bangin’ jewelry. In my opinion there’s nothing more summertime sexy than short natural hair, sizzling eye makeup and huge earrings. You know I love my jewelry, and I love my up and coming designers. I have been…
Want of the Week – Peace Images Hair Jewelry
I love adorning my natural hair with clips and elaborate headbands, but of late I’ve had a hard time finding truly unique, swoonworthy hair accessories that seemed made with natural hair in mind. I fell for the pointy fan-like hair clips and ornate barettes that adorned models in the NYFW Spring 2011 Rodarte show, but…

Want of the Week: Rachel Stewart Jewelry
I’ve come to realize that my jewelry personality is quite a bit different from my regular personality. If you meet me in person, I can be low key and sometimes even a little quiet (but always warm and friendly, or at least I try to be!). I’m not a loud person, by any means. But…
