Moon And Lola Cameron Village Store Opening

A few weeks ago, Moon And Lola invited me to their media preview night before they opened their doors to the public. If there's one thing I love, it's an excuse to put on a party dress, sip cocktails and buy pretty jewelry. 

The new store is absolutely beautiful. It's filled with all things girly, shiny, sparkly and of course... PINK! I love it! The girls at M&L really outdid themselves. The "Lola Loves" room (above) has to be my favorite part. Everything that owner Kelly (a.k.a. Lola) is currently obsessed with will be housed in here. I'm officially using it as inspiration for my new home office. 

Here's a few more snaps from that night plus a sneak peek at my outfit that night!

These Eden cuff links are the cutest!

Popcorn with pink sprinkles and cake pops? So delicious!

Love these sunglasses with gold stamped personalization. Also the Isobel bracelets always make a great gift!

Eden Charms are one of my favorite M&L pieces. Especially the stud earrings!

Just a little something for the guys in your life! SO many cuff link options. 

These cute little guys were filled with PINK margaritas. Oh, yes please!

I snapped this sneak peak of my outfit on instagram. Look for it on the blog soon!

If you're in the Raleigh area, you must go check it out immediately. If not, lucky for you, Moon and Lola's online store is open 24/7!

A few have already ended but there's still a chance to enter for Swag Bag #2. Now we're onto the last one and I'm REALLY excited about these!

OMGeeeezies! Blake Lively's Wedding Rings

I'm holding my breath on actually seeing her wedding dress, so until we do, this will have to do. Blake Lively's ridiculous and amazing Lorraine Schwartz wedding rings were on display last week and I think I've fallen in love.

 

Her gi-normo engagement ring consists of a pink oval diamond surrounded by a thin band of smaller diamonds for a truly larger than life sparkler. As if that wasn't enough, her delicate rose gold wedding band is also a bunch of teeny diamonds. Pure perfection. Now if we could just get a peek of that gorgeous Marchesa wedding gown....

Golden Globe Jewelry Trends: Guest Post

I'm so thrilled to share with you guys my latest Guest Post!! Chelsea over at Haute Child in the City asked me to post for her while she is going this next phase in life called Mommyhood! A few weeks ago she and her hubby welcomed a handsome little man named Liam. So when she asked me write something I was so excited to pitch in and help out as she makes this transition. Chelsea and I actually "met" through another blogger, Pursuit of Shoes, but instantly bonded over all things sparkly and the fact that we're both North Carolinians! She lives in my hometown Raleigh and I'm hoping on my next trip home we can actually meet in person! Meanwhile, head over to her site to see a few jewelry trends I discovered during the Golden Globes and, of course, some affordable options for you to try! Happy Thursday! xoxo

Outfit Post: BDIB - Arm Party

It's time for another edition of Bloggers Do It Better! I skipped the last one because I had already done a maxi post since I already selected my hot pink maxi skirt for the Neons & Neutrals post. I wasn't about to miss the latest one! This week was more of a mini-challenge instead of an actual full outfit post. But it's one of my favorite "excess"ory choices right now - A Stacked Arm. If you're a blogger, blog comb-er or magazine reader you know just how major this trend is right now. I personally love it and my theory is "If someone doesn't ask you about your arm full of bangles - you don't have enough" :) So here are my latest picks for the Arm Party challenge:

I think my OPI That's Hot! Pink nail polish makes the shiny jewelry stand out even more

Olympics trump NYFW????

Note to Olympics: You are fully distracting me from my task at hand! While I was able to keep up with NYFW through online sites, I haven't been focusing on writing any posts because of all the Olympic coverage. I am an Olympic freak and I love love LOVE watching all the sports. However it totally threw me off course so I am going to try to catch up throughout this week with the postings...

On another note - I have the sweetest husband in the world! After blogging about the amazing Peacock Ring from Lulu's - I recieved a little surprise in the mail last week! :) So far I have worn it several times with comments from everyone who saw it! Thanks Lulu's for carrying the cutest stuff! :)

Be on the lookout for more Fashion Week posts!

Proud as a Peacock

I'm always on the accessories hunt and lately I've been collecting animal jewelry. It reminds me of the 20's and 30's and I like to imagine that my Great Grandparents wore the same kind of thing while they were dancing the night away and sipping Champagne. So far a few of my favorites that I have are an Owl, a Jaguar and two jeweled Elephants. None of them have colored rhinestones so I was really excited when I stumbled across this peacock ring over on LuLu's.com. It would be the perfect addition to a party dress or just a fun accessory for jeans and a tee. After all, Glamour shouldn't just be reserved for a night on the town. :) I'm putting it on my wish list this instantly. For more peacock jewelry check here and here - both of which are House of Harlow and designed by one of my personal fashion inspirations Nicole Richie. xoxo
