Loving My oBo Creations Necklace

a3

One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to be stylish is by trying out new accessories. I love to wear jewelry daily and necklaces are my favorite. I have quite a few in my collection, but I had never tried enamel jewelry until recently, when oBo Creations generously extended a review opportunity.

oBo Creations is headed by Olya, an amazing self-taught artist who lives in Switzerland. Known for excellent craftsmanship, her delicate designs are nature inspired. She individually makes each piece by hand for those who enjoy wearing a special look.

Until you’ve seen enamel jewelry up close, it’s hard to tell just how gorgeous it is. Created by painting on metal, it produces an effect that’s unique and unpredictable, with no two pieces looking exactly alike. The bright eye-catching color has many shades blended together that shimmer beautifully.

I’m especially fond of the orchid necklace. Tiny two-tone flowers painted blue and red dangle from a 16 inch silver chain (I prefer shorter chains). Wearing this is like having the prettiest little garden around your neck! It coordinates with most of my outfits and would work day or night, depending on the occasion. Best of all, this flattering design can be made into a ring or bracelet for those who enjoy matching sets.

Though it had to cross an ocean to reach me, my orchid necklace arrived in only 5 days, wrapped like a present, and perfect in every way. It truly is wearable art and I feel so feminine when I wear it.

In addition to necklaces, Obo Creations has drop earrings and studs, pendants, bangles, and so much more. You can learn more about the artist and see the gorgeous pieces featured in her Etsy shop

Savannah Wedding Collection from Rent the Runway

Savannah, the oldest city in Georgia, oozes history, charm, and southern hospitality. It beguiles with Old World glamour and romance, which is why it’s a top destination for weddings.

The experts at Rent the Runway know that Savannah style is more sweetness and gentility than formal finery, which is reflected in the styles they’ve carefully selected for a summer wedding in Savannah.

Here are my top 3 favorite dresses from the Savannah collection:

ERIN erin fetherston Woven Garden Dress

This lovely mini dress features a floral design set against a white background. It’s sleeveless, full lined, and has a full skirt with side pockets. It would work best for a daytime event.

Cynthia Rowley Nilo Dress

An adorable pink floral jacquard dress that’s modest yet stylish, it has a crew neckline, and a longer length. This would work well for a more conservative venue.

ML Monique Lhuillier Gladiolus Dress

Look fresh as a flower in this gorgeous pink and blush faille gown. It has a straight, strapless neckline and an asymmetrical contrast hemline. It would be amazing for a Black Tie event.

Tea Collection’s Argentina & Bolivia Style

Have you heard about Tea Collection’s new styles? Get ready to head south of the border for a sample of Argentina and Bolivia!

The Fall/Winter 2015 collection is fabulous. From the sophisticated style of the gauchos and traditional elegance of Cholitas to the passion of tango musicians and the wild color of las mascaras for Carnaval, Tea’s newest clothes pay homage to the people and rich culture of Argentina and Bolivia.

Tea explored the vast terrain from the high Andes Mountains to the fertile Pampas region of Argentina. They explored the markets of La Paz, museums, and ancient churches and climbed the blue glaciers of Patagonia. They collected Bolivian blankets, postcards, folk embroidered belts and ponchos. They amassed so many memories, pictures, and mementos that embody the wanderlust spirit of their travels.     

Whether you’re shopping for Boys or Girls, Newborns or older kids, Tea Collection has you covered with a variety of sizes and styles.
