Cocktail Party Under $100

Hey girls!

I've got another holiday cocktail ensemble for you! This one is for the ladies on a budget. I've put together a great look for under $100 that you'll love!

First we'll start with this very trendy dark purple peplum dress from Lulu's. Peplum is showing up everywhere these days and is very popular in Hollywood. The structure in the dress gives enough detail that you'll want to let it stand out.

For the shoes I chose these cute floral black lace stilettos from Forever 21.

We won't overwhelm  the dress with a lot of jewelry so I chose these black faceted jewel wing earrings with gold trim from mark. If you need to add a necklace, choose a long pendant or single charm necklace in gold. If you have long hair I would wear it back in a sleek ponytail.

Last I added this gold lame clutch from Forever 21. It finishes the ensemble off with sparkle!

All for only $94! Since we've finished under budget you may want to add some black opaque tights for colder evenings. Now you're ready for your party and you didn't break the bank! Have fun!

Holiday Party Style

Happy Holidays!

I love to style ensembles and with the holiday season kicking into gear this is the perfect time to put together some great party outfits (styled with beautiful jewelry of course)! For this look I wanted to build the ensembe around the jewelry so I'm starting with the Gray Pearls and Baubles Necklace and the Gray Pearl Dangle Earrings from Mozella Designs.

So now it's time for the dress. I'm really liking the snake print trend right now so I picked this sequin snake print dress from Lulu's.

Then I'd give the dress a classic touch with a pop of color so I chose this bright blue rouched sleeve jacket from Express.

Normally since the dress is sequined I would pair the ensemble with a more understated shoe but this mini sequined high heel from Express is still nice and doesn't overwhelm the ensemble with flash.

Last but not least we need a simple clutch to top off the ensemble. I chose this black faux crocodile clutch that's big enough to get in the essentials.

I'll post more holiday ensembles as the weekend goes on! Let me know what you think!

Another Trip to the Bead Show

It's about that time again! Bead show time! I'm getting ready this morning to go and hopefully find some really cool beads, charms, and other jewelry things to use for fall. I'm really looking out for bright, colorful things because I'm seeing that in fall fashion. I also would love to find cool paper beads. Anyway, I must finish getting ready. I'll be sure to share my finds when I return!

Zippers!

Hi all!

I'm so excited about these zipper bracelets! I've been wanting to do zipper jewelry for a long time now ans these were the perfect starting point. With the hardware trend continuing in fashion the zipper bracelets will fit in perfectly with your fall wardrobe. I particularly wanted to use brass zippers because of their golden tone.

Gold in jewelry, handbags, and accessories has really been taking over. They're like wearing little cuffs ans they look great when you wear a few (or a bunch) together. I mixed the black and navy bracelets and wore one with charms. That's the other part...they're completely customizable! I will be offering handstamped versions in the near future. I really like adding charms that give them a sweet but edgy and completely trendy look!

I currently have them available in black, navy, white, and dogwood (natural). The original bracelets are $12.50 each and $10 for two or more. The versions with charms are $15 and I will soon have a price for handstamped versions. The standard size is 7" but 6" and 9" can be available by request. I'm in love with these and hope you'll try them out.

On another note, I have added Zibbet.com to my selling venues so if anyone frequents Zibbet be sure to check out my shop soon!

It's Been a While

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've blogged but I'm coming back! Things got a little busy at school this past semester and I fell off of my 52 Week challenge. :( I'll have to try again in January. I haven't been creating in a while and I miss it so I'll be jumping back in it soon! Hopefully I'll have something new for you next week! I want to get a few late summer pieces done then I'll be looking toward FALL! I love fall fashion!

So check back in with me soon for new jewelry. Also my shop has moved to ArtFire so check it out!

Week 9 Challenge

We're moving right along in the challenge and I am so happy it's March! That means lots of spring things coming! I've gotten quite a few supplies in and will be working on new things in the coming days. This week I listed more of those cute little rose earrings in new colors. All very cute and springy! This week I named owl week!
Here are a few owls I made this week. I've got a couple more that will be available next week too.
These little pink cuties are some of my favorites! They are porcelain handpainted beads painted as sleeping owls. I love them they are feminine and a unique spring piece!

These owls are awake! Also handpainted porcelain beads, these owls are blue and speckled. They dangle on gold earwires and are super cute!

Next, I have a couple of antique brass owl necklaces. These will be great with any spring attire! I especially love the little baby owl!

Well, that's it for now! I'll be popping in early next week with more!

Thanks for reading!
