Make a statement...with pearls!!

I love, love, love pearls! I love pearl everything. I love rings, bracelets, pins but nothing more than a pearl necklace. I love the timeless, classic sophistication of a pearl necklace. One of my favorite pieces of jewelry is my grandmother's pearl necklaces. I usually wear them stacked and wrapped around my neck a few times.

Everyone needs a statement necklace or two in their collection so I say why not make it pearls. Look for something with multistrands or woven with other metals. Don't be afraid to layers your pearls. The more the merrier, remember this is a "statement" necklace. Have fun with it!

I like this option from White House Black Market. I always find pieces I like here. I love how they are able to take the simple pieces to the next level. Believe me, people will notice when you have a piece from White House Black Market on!

Winter Hand Relief

Baby it's cold outside!

 Brrrr! This cold air can dry out the softest hands quickly. Jack Frost can change your well taken care of hands into dried, cracked embarrassments that leave you searching for the nearest pair of mittens to hide your disgrace.

I have the solution. Aveda Hand Relief Hand Lotion. It is utterly amazing! I have used this product for many years and recommenced it to everyone I know. I have never heard anyone give it anything but praise. It will change your hands. It is a thick rich cream that instantly provides a soothing relief to winter stressed hands. It has a very light scent that is not offensive and barely noticeable. It truly is the perfect hand cream.

Incredibly rich moisture therapy soothes dry, chapped hands—leaving them noticeably softer and smoother. Hydrating plant emollients, humectants, exfoliating fruit acids and anti-oxidants—including vitamins A and E—help diminish signs of aging and provide optimal relief. Increases moisture levels and elasticity in skin with continued use.
4.2 fl oz/125 ml $19.00



Take off the mittens and display your hands like the Palmolive Model of yesteryear! (for those of you blessed with youth...it's an iconic dish detergent ad).

Give your hands relief, stay warm and ...be Bella!

Big Bling...my new OBSESSION!

First let me make one thing clear...I am a true believer that size does matter!

I'm the girl who believes bigger is better. Whether it is purses, diamonds, houses or men...big.

Now let's add that to that the fact that I am easily distracted by shiny objects and live for jewelry and we have my new obsession...Big Bling!

Ok, a jewelry obsession for me is not that earth shattering. After all, I secretly dream of a private shopping spree at Tiffany and just the sight of that blue box can send me in into a euphoric high that I'm sure some how compares to the feeling of reaching the summit at Everest. This one however is a little departure for me. Usually my heart skips beats for sparkling diamonds. I love the simplicity and power of a clear brilliant stone but I have been lusting after my new obsession. Big colored gemstone statement rings!

These rings exude confidence and style. They make a statement. Try them out, you'll love the way they make you feel!

Try this one at Bloomingdales!
