So Excited To Introduce You To...

The all-new Eastwood Avenue jewelry collection! Eastwood Avenue is handmade by my friend Michelle of Blue Moss. I have been a HUGE fan of her jewelry for years now and I'm thrilled that she has a smaller, more delicate, less expensive line for me to shop from! Her jewelry is made from a mix of vintage and new baubles and it's all handmade, with love, in Greenville, South Carolina.
So, head on over to her Etsy shop and pick out a few things for yourself or someone else!

Believe it or not, I've never shopped on Black Friday...or, if I have, I have no recollection of it!

And My Nordstrom Wish List Just Keeps Growing

Sadly, I had to retire one of my favorite long, open front, purple cardis this season b/c it was just too pilled and picked. So, I'm on the hunt for a new one. These 2 are definitely on my radar even though they aren't purple..well, the solid one does come in plum but I almost think I'd rather have it in the gray pictured above.

striped one available here.

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner! I've been searching for the perfect rain boot for the last 2 years. I got these from Target and they've been great but the flannel on them just screams "winter!" so they aren't the most season-appropriate in the spring or summer. Well, I got my Nordstrom catalog today and found the babies shown above and I am in love! I already have these Target/Steve Madden knock-offs which are similar (i got gray with a red zipper) but, the Nordstrom ones are true rain boots and I am THRILLED that my search is over! Be sure to check out the other color options...I'm going with the olive/orange combo. Now bring on the rain!!!
(oh, and yes, they may be a bit pricey but, i figure i've saved so much money with all of my Target boots that it's fine for me to splurge a bit on these:)) (and while I'm justifying, the Hunter wellies that I've been wanting are about $150 so these Maddens are a definite bargain! )

THIS JUST IN!!!

Saturday 11/20 ...40% off your Entire Purchase at Gap and Gap Kids at Haywood Mall! Make that 45% if you are using your GapCard! Say: FLASH40

Gap and Gapkids at Haywood will be opening at 9am to our facebook fans! Get first pick and beat the crowds!

What a great time to get your Christmas list whittled down and not have to deal with the Black Friday crowd! I've been at The Gap twice this week and, trust me, they have some really cool stuff right now. Great basics along with some flashy Holiday items!

A Reminder For My Greenville (and surrounding area) Peeps!

Want more details? Check this post from earlier in the week. If you make by Art & Light, please tell Teresa that I sent you!

You Can't Always Be Right

Just yesterday I saw this pic of Anne Hathaway and I thought to myself "Man! She ALWAYS gets it right! I've never seen her look bad!".... And then, today, I came across this.

It was kind of a let down.

Fashion Fail

This ensemble is bad enough from the front but, and I think most will agree, the back is a definite fashion fail!

images from here.

I'll Huff and I'll Puff

You might remember this post from last year. Well, I was at The Gap today and they have a thin puffer vest in a slew of colors that I thought was really cool looking. The client I was with got the pink one shown above and we put it with this top and jeans. She had an audition for a commercial (for a grocery store) and needed to look bold and outdoorsy while still looking fashionable. She can then use both of these pieces again throughout the Winter and even into Spring! And here's a little tip, for the month of November, The Gap at Haywood Mall is offering 40% off 1 regular-priced item on Wednesdays and Thursdays. That's hard to beat!

And Now...

for the special invitation that I teased about yesterday.....

My bud, Teresa, over at Art & Light is hosting a trunk show for artist Ashley Buchanan this Saturday, November 20 from 11AM until 5pm. Aren't her pieces GORGEOUS?! I love how she mixes metal, a typically "tough" and "industrial" material with pretty, feminine shapes. Please stop by (tell Teresa I sent you!) and check out her hand-cut metal earrings, cuffs and necklaces. These would make a great Christmas gift for someone or a little gift "to me from me" as I like to say:) At $25-$85, there's something for everyone! There's just something about wearing a unique piece of jewelry made by a local artist, sold at a local gallery that makes me smile! You can view her Artist Statement below.

"Faux Real is a series I am currently working on that investigates our perception of value, specifically in jewelry. The use of imagery is important to my work in order to establish a familiar identity between the viewer and the object. I am interested in a reality that exists through images and representations and how the appearance of an object can substitute for the original. In Society of the Spectacle, Guy Debord writes about the effects of a production obsessed society and a resulting transformation of reality into the image of reality. By combining less expensive materials with iconic shapes of jewelry, I create new simplified pieces that continue the tradition of hand crafted jewelry and metals with a clean contemporary aesthetic."

Art & Light is located in the Pendleton Arts District at 1211 Pendleton Street. It's in the super cool Flat Iron building. For directions please click here. Hope to see you there!

Stayed Tuned....

for a special invitation to a super-fun event this weekend! Details to come on Monday...you won't want to miss out!!

In Love

I am in love with this necklace from Anthro. I love both colors equally as much...I don't discriminate. I tried it on last week and now I'm kicking myself for not getting one!
