House of Harlow

Nicole Ritchie has come out with a gorgeous line of jewerly and headpieces called House of Harlow 1960. My friend purchased one for her Hawaii wedding and it just added an extra special detail! It looked gorgeous on her, especially with the beautiful scenery of Hawaii in the background!  See below.

Here is a picture from our mini mock up shoot. You can see it a bit better in this close up shot.

Gold Rush...

Before I leave for San Fran...I HAD to share this ahhh-mazing ring shot! Seriously....

Yep, another brilliant shot from my fav....Hazelnut Photography!  

I will be back next week with pcs to share from our mini get-away!

Chamilia is a Calling!

I have previously posted on Pandora Bracelets..but I think I found something I like a bit better! It's called Chamila..It is another type of charm bracelet but if you ask me...the beads are much more gorgeous! Below are just a few to show...

The closest store to me (I live in LA) is in Long Beach. So the Husband drove me down to see what this other type of bracelet is all about! First, they have a bangle type bracelet! Which I totally LOVE! How it works is..the ends twist off and you slide the beads on..You can put 2 to several beads on the bracelet to give it different looks...

I found this picture below to show how it looks with four beads on each side. The silver ball on the end is easy to adjust to give more or less room for the beads.

I also learned that Chamilia sets the stones into the beads unlike Pandora who uses glue..then over time the Pandora gems loose their shine! Another good thing is Pandora and Chamilia beads are interchangeable! So, if you already have a ton of Pandora beads..they will fit on your new Chamilia bracelet! The bangle bracelet costs approximately $60.

These bracelets would make adorable bridesmaid gifts! A bit pricey but absolutely adorable!

Is anyone else up on the new trend of Pandora? That is Pandora Jewerly?! Last year for my birthday my family gave me a Pandora bracelet with a couple of charms. I wasn't necessarily in love with it at first but after this year of collecting charms....I'm loving it more!

What I love about the Pandora charm bracelet is that you can make it anyway which way. The charms range from $25-a couple hundred dollars. My parents purchased me a wedding cake as a symbol of our wedding and my Husband comes home every now and then with a charm...which always makes me melt :) So over the past year I have come to collect several charms.

Yes, since I love purple...I kinda went with that theme :) Oh, and if you do plan on getting one of these bracelets I totally recommend purchases a safety chain. Once your bracelet is full of charms you can only imagine how much your bracelet is worth. The safety chain is only $25.00!

Below is a picture of one of my most special charms...an ice cream cone! Represents Penn State's Creamery Ice Cream! Yes, now many other jewerly stores are selling charms that fit on the Pandora bracelet. You can also see a good idea of what the safety chain looks like.

Anyone else collecting Pandora Charms?


Happy Thursday!

Our Wedding- Jewerly

Darin got me a gorgeous white gold bracelet as my wedding gift. I wear it all the time! I had no idea what he was planning on getting me!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND MY FRIENDS!

Da Band

This past weekend we stopped by Robbins Bros to pick up the Fiance's wedding band! We have been so busy these past couple of weeks that we almost forgot about picking it up! Could you imagine?! So, I had to share with you a picture of his band! We decided to go with palladium....anyone else go this route?

These were the best two shots! I'm still learning how to use my camera!

ps.. I really love the ring box!

12 more days!

Rings!!

On Thursday, we went to Robbins Bros to pick up my wedding band! Since my engagement ring did not come with a partner band it was up to me to search and hunt for one! It was actually a difficult task! A huge thank you to those at Robbins Bros and the talented Jeff Cooper!!

I especially loved the little light in the ring box. Details...Details...

Did your ring come with a matching band?

Bling Bling!

So, today the Fiance and I went up to Rancho Palos Verdes to play around with our new camera! I just couldn't help but take several pictures of my ring..So, after playing around with different settings...and reading the manual... These were our favorite shots of the bling! I think we did good considering it was our first time!

And of course I had to add my ultimate favorite shot of the 2 favorite men in my life!

Does anyone know of any good photography classes in the Los Angeles area? Have a great weekend!!

Ring Shot!

So, during my incredible boudoir shoot...Jordana took a couple shots of my ring! I have yet to have any pictures of my ring so I soo appreciated it! She took a couple of pics of the ring with my face in the background..very soft pictures..I wish I could share those with all of your but they are rather a bit not appropriate to post!

Oh, my pretty ring! I love my ring!!!

I received my cd full of images today!! Now, seriously..how am I going to really keep this from the Fiance? Good thing he is out of town this week! :) So the next couple of days I will be putting together my boudoir book with all of my favorite pictures...again...if I haven't stressed it enough...EVERYONE SHOULD DO A BOUDOIR SHOOT!!! Its soo much fun! If you are in the Los Angeles area..I know of a great photographer :)

Happy New Years!

Another year down....and a lot has happend this past year...moving to Los Angeles is obviously the biggest event that occured for me! As I look forward to 2009...excitement, adventure, challenges...are just some of the words that come to mind... My one and only resolution is to find a job that I enjoy and feel like I am making a difference in someones' life. Even if it takes me 5 years..I will find it!

A couple of our friends from LA flew back east for the holidays as well.. Some are even in NYC!! I have never been up in NYC during New Years but I'm sure it is one heck of a time!!

It is hard to blog while a way at my parents! But I had to add something!!! I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years!! Welcome 2009!!

I Fell In LOVE!

Yesterday, the Fiance and I drove down to OC to go shopping for Christmas! I had only one goal in mind..which were to locate my CHANEL earrings! For the past 2 years, he has waited till the last minute to purchase them for me and of course they were always sold out! You may have seen them before, they are very popular! Two tiny C's! Well, to my luck they were not sold out and I was happy!! Merry Christmas!! As the salesperson was ringing up the purchase I was walking around and looking at all the gorgeous purses...and other jewelry... I came across a pair of earrings that caught my eye. Of course I had to try them on...It didn't matter how much they were.. I had to see what they looked like on... I fell hard and new they would look perfect with my dress...Well everyone, here are my bridal earrings! It was definitely love at first sight!

I just couldn't get a nice picture of them upclose.. I need a new camera! But ignore the terrible pic of me..and just focus on the earring! Click the pic to enlarge. They have such a vintage feel and look perfect with my dress! Plus, they are a limited edition. Which means..in 10-15 years they will go up in value! What a unique piece of jewerly to keep in the family. Hopefully my daughter will wear these in her wedding. Thank you Mom for contributing to these lovely earrings! {still beaming!!}

Bridesmaid Jewerly

My BMs will be wearing black dresses...I want the jewerly to be simple...So, as of right now I am leaning towards pearls. I have been looking everywhere!
