It’s late morning as I write this.  I have a million things to do & not enough time in the day.   I’m rocking the same shirt as yesterday because this morning (at the ass-crack of dawn) I didn’t have the luxury of casually sipping a cup of tea while perusing my closet to select just the right outfit to embrace my day.  And I have to run out in a bit to take care of some things.  Then come home and take care of a few more things and then go to my shop to work on the collection I’m...

I like to wear statement rings.  I like to have something I can easily see that makes me feel something.   A statement ring speaks to my powerful side.  As cheesy as it sounds, it reminds me that my power is there.  Not the “Wonder Twins Unite!” kind of power, but the quiet power we all have.  The power that grounds me.  The power that speaks to my soul and reminds me I can do anything.  (Cue flowing cape, heroic music and me in my super-hero pose) Like this one-of-a-kind silver, gold and garnet ring.  I love the simple, yet powerful...

When I have mornings like this morning, mornings that have me doing 15 million things before 8 A.M.  I can start to feel a bit frazzled.  I feel like there’s so much more I need to do & not enough time to get it all done.   When I start feeling overwhelmed, taking a few minutes to focus on me and not everyone/everything else helps to clear the mental clutter, shift gears and tackle what I need to be doing.  Whether it's simply putting in a pair of earrings I love or changing into clothes that make me feel a little...

I love when something can do double duty.  Like the top that I can wear for a casual day out with my family or to the office (if I actually had an office!) That’s one of the things I love about these earrings from my Bowl Collection.  They work in so many different situations. The sleek, modern style is just as comfortable in the office adding bold color to those go-to office outfits as they are out and about for a casual lunch with friends. Take a look at these earrings or any of my other beautiful earrings in my...

I love the idea of a capsule wardrobe.  I’ve loved it since I was a kid.  Remember Garanimals?  The clothing line with different animals on the tags?  Shirts with Elephant tags matched shorts with an elephant tag.  Monkeys went with monkeys, etc.  I was in love with the idea of a no-fuss wardrobe even then.   When I became an adult I still loved the idea of a Garanimal wardrobe. Then I discovered that not only I am not alone, but it’s actually a thing!  Of course, now it has a much more sophisticated name… The Capsule Wardrobe.  Be still my...

If I’m being completely honest, I’m a jeans and T-shirt person.  Every once in a while I like to look a little nicer, but most days it's jeans-and-a-T-shirt mode.   And if I’m still being honest, there are those days that even though I’m in jeans and a T-shirt mode I need a little more.   Enter the statement earring.   Something like these moonstone and iolite earrings from my Straight Line Collection.  I love how the modern design is a little edgy and the moonstone adds a dash of femininity.  A great choice for the days I’m somewhere between “I don’t give a shit” and...
