festive favorites

MARY Christmas everyone! As I sit next to one of my mom's 17 (literally) Christmas trees, I'm really feeling the holiday spirit. So, obviously, I will translate those feelings into clothing and accessories. Here are a few of my favorites this holiday season. If only I had some fancy Christmas shindigs so that I could utilize them... Safe travels and happy holidays to all!

sunny

Summertime is coming QUICKLY in South Georgia. Loving the sunny weather but hating the heat. While walking Rollie (my pup) in the park a few weeks ago, I lost my absolute favorite pair of folding tortoise Ray-Ban wayfarers that I've had for years.It was tragic. I have three more pairs of Ray-Bans, but sunglasses have always been my obsession, and I am dying for another pair. I really liked the versatility of my wayfarers; they went with everything. Dressed up, dressed down... They never failed me. Should I just get another pair? Trying to decide. Here are some pairs that are on my mind these days:

1: Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarer (you are missed)

2: Ray-Ban Erika 

3: Karen Walker "Number One" 

4: Marc by Marc Jacobs

5: Karen Walker

6: House of Harlow 1960

lucky bling

I truly believe in the impact a good piece of jewelry can make on your mood. I call my jewelry my "lucky bling" and wear virtually every piece I own when I need some good fortune coming my way. Here are a few of my favorites that I promise myself I will one day have. I guess I better start saving! Oh, the luck these pretty things would bring!

love and lucky bling,
