Treasure Tuesdays: All Things Glisten

I'm not really into Glitter but I am a fan of things that sparkle and glisten especially on a night out or when I know I'm hitting a red carpet function! I'm the type of person who enjoys wearing many of my night time pieces during the day. As always the links within the spread are active! I love Ted Rossi's Python Maltese Cross Cuff - these are perfect to wear with cute dresses, evening gowns and even jeans! I have quite a few clutches and cuffs from Ted Rossi; however, he has a Python White Cuff with an Onyx that I wear all the time and it always starts a conversation. In addition, I am a huge fan of Objets d'Envy (who doesn't love Swarovski Crystal jewelry) who has gorgeous pieces that add glam to the evening and to the everyday! Meeting Kirstin, the designer while I was in Chicago was a great experience! Pade Vavra has always been a favorite and this handmade Platinum Chain Necklace is great with a simple dress and perfect with a tank and pair of jeans! Every piece has an element of goddess to it! I love my branch silver necklace and also my olive branch like cuff in gold! Either piece adds a bit of nature and muse like aspects to my outfit! For those wanting to make an impact, try the Curations line with Stefani Greenfield as she will be on HSN July 29th at 8pm and July 30th starting at 1pm! I love that these pieces are conversation starters and they definitely up the overall style that you're going for. My favorite pieces are the two Swarovski clutches by Imi! These pieces combine art and style together for an amazing look! In fact these are pieces that you can not only cradle in your hand but you'll love sitting it on your table while you're in between getting a cocktail or enjoying your courses. Whether you love a minimal approach or you prefer an intricate design, Imi is a great way to secure an amazing look!

Treasure Tuesdays: My Top 10 Accessories

Yesterday, Paul started off the concept of a list format as I think it's a great way to look over the past year with that which was amazing! I think it helps you out in terms of where you've been and where you want to go! Of course, my favorite topic is ACCESSORIES! Today I am including my favorite 5 items that I have worn and the 5 that I definitely want to include within my wardrobe and I threw in something that Paul would love as well! These items have been included in previous posts but they deserve another mention before the end of the year!

My Top 5 That You'll See Me Wear:

Orfeo Quagliatoa: I love these large bauble rings that are made out of hand blown glass.

Ted Rossi: I love the cuffs and the clutches that are made out of python!

Kitten Couture: This is my jewelry line that I love and am always wearing these pieces. I am obsessed with the resort lifestyle and bringing in the beach!

Pade Vavre: I love the antiqued look of these pieces and love the sterling silver branch necklace that I wear often.

Moon River Pearls: I was never into pearls but I love how "out of the box" many of these are and feel that it's absolutely necessary to have a pair within your jewelry box.

My Top 5 That I'll Include Within My Wardrobe:

Objet d' Envy: The Swarovski Crystal pieces that are available are perfect for any day whether it's casual or time to glam up!

Hayden Harnett: I love the Wyeth bag and the fact that they have so many other great body styles as well!

Konstantino: Included within the Kitten Lounge Holiday Gift Guide I love their old world style and that you have such an amazing piece on your arm regardless of what outfit you opt for!

Ana Reign: Her large rings are so me that it's not even funny. I will have to have one custom made but it would be worth every penny without a doubt!

Kale Miles: My boyfriend and Food Editor, Paul, is all about jeans and with a belt from Kale Miles, it gives him an interesting way to express his personality through this very necessary accessory!

Treasure Tuesdays ~ Do You Envy?

I have never been one to envy for someone else's items but I will not lie when I say that I love when people look at something that I'm wearing and they wish that they could have worn my find! As you know, I'm accessories obsessed and when I see designers that are on the mark, I have to share! Kristen of Objets d'Envy makes fabulous Swarovski Crystal jewelry that are amazing to wear whether you're heading to work (you could work in an extremely corporate environment or one that is laid back), hanging out with friends or going out. The pieces lend themselves to being the focal point of your outfit and if you see a certain style that you like, you can get it in various colors so that you have quite the decision to make when you're about to step out. These pieces are meant to break the barrier of the common question "When/where would I wear this" - anywhere or everywhere.

I love the red Boucle necklace as it is a delicate design that has great depth due to the use of Swarovski Crystals. It reminds me of something that you could see Audrey Hepburn wearing if she was out and about today - which means it would be perfect as she was queen of taking great basics and making them eternally classic. In addition, I love the Galaxie. I am a huge fan of having one large rock or crystal. This is perfect for a tunic, cute wide belt, skinny jeans and slouchy boots! Simple and at the same time you can wear a sweater dress and look amazing as well. Not only can your neck look amazing but with these rock candy rings, looking good has never been so simple and don't be surprised if even a quick walk to your coffee shop turns into someone's moment of Envy!
