Simple Jewelry- layering

I love to layer my jewelry; sometimes you know you HAVE to when you have certain pieces that go together.

This Sun and Moon Necklace is a chic piece to wear year round. Definitely one of my favorites ;)

Two Broke Girls Necklace


I'll always love pearls. I still get asked a lot to make the Two Broke Girls necklace..











I have an old post,Two Broke Girls Necklace Tutorial , which should help you out with how to make this necklace.

If you haven't made jewelry before, I warn you that the process of making this necklace can be frustrating.
s
You can order one premade through my Etsy (Molly Jean Jewelry), if you don't see a necklace ready to order simply send me a message via Etsy and I can have one up within a couple days.

Easy diy Christmas treat

Mason Jars (obviously :) )
Small Baileys 

Powdered milk (1/2 cup each jar)
Unsweetened Coco powder  (1/2 cup each jar)
Sugar -1/2 cup
Salt - just a pinch 
Chocolate chips 1/2 cup each jar
Peppermint - 3/4 cup each jar
Marshmelllows - 1 cup each jar

I adjusted the recipe by adding a little more sugar and chocolate chips than what the original recipe called for (3/4) 3/4 a cup wasn't enough to make the layering look cute for the chocolate chips and peppermint, so I added more.

Can we talk about...









How chic pantsuits can be when done right? I used to shy away from any type of jumpsuit getup, but times have changed. Whether full length pants or shorts,  jumpsuits are a refreshing break from dresses and everyday slacks.




                                                     

 About 99% of time when female celebrities hit the red carpet for events, we see them in beautiful dresses.
It is refreshing to see jumpsuits making a comeback, red carpet included. Here is Allegra Riggio wearing a jumpsuit by Adrianna Papell (courtesy of Pistol and Stamen). I love this look; I would have never thought to pair the fur peace with the suit, but I am liking it. Ps- the suit is more beautiful in person.
I met Allegra briefly when she came into the PR agency/showroom I work for. She seemed to be a full of life, beautiful soul. I loved how elegant the jumpsuit looked on her when she tried it on that day. Glad to see she enjoyed herself in her Adrianna Papell pieces.

Black ankle booties

This fall, once again, it's all about the ankle booties. I thought I'd do a collage on black ankle booties, because let's face it: they're pretty amazing. Plus, you can never go wrong with black...
