Sorry for the sparse posting. Life has been busy! I was down for the count with a nasty bug last week but am finally feeling better. This weekend was a productive one, our tree is up, wreath is on the door and last night, we got plenty of snow to put me in the holiday spirit. This weekend is my birthday, and although I cant wait to celebrate, I’ve got lots to do before then. I started a couple new projects this recently and cannot wait to share with you guys the inspiration, plans and progress. So… let’s do this Monday.

Whenever Spencer asks what I’d like for the holidays, my go-to answer is jewelry. It is something you can wear and have forever, and will always remind you of the person who gave it to you. Here is a round up of a couple of my favorites from this season

green studs (Kendra Scott’s holiday collection is filled with perfect little statement pieces like these emerald greens studs) ::: grey and gold statement necklace (Jcrew has been killing it with their jewelry for the past couple years) ::: lucite cuff (yup, another Jcrew piece) ::: opal statement earrings (these Loren Hope goodies have been on my list for quite some time, the perfect piece to dress up a boring black dress)::: rose gold diamond bar earrings (I have these and wear them all the time, they’re a fun new twist on a traditional stud) ::: signet ring (a great gift for any monogram lover)::: delicate gold stacking rings (I love the idea of combining initials with a little heart) ::: pyrite bangle (another Kendra Scott pick that adds the perfect amount of sparkle)
