I woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland this morning, and living in the south (Atlanta, GA) this means pretty much no one is going anywhere, unless it is outside to play. I came across some jewelry that reminds me of snow and ice, which I found fitting for today’s post. But first, our backyard, and yes, that hill is the bomb for sledding. Second, our driveway. Mind you we have no pets so not certain what all the tracks are from.

And now the jewels…

It seems like everyone who did not have an Ipad before, got one over the holidays. They are pretty, and fun to play with, but I am solely a Mac Book girl through and through, not to mention there is no room to put anything else on my nightstand. I have to say, it would come in handy for all those wedding planning meetings. For all you that did get one and have been looking for a fashionable case, here are some of my favorites.

I don’t know about you, but I find Etsy can be wholly overwhelming. Love the site, but sometimes I just want to look at things that appeal to me without having to scroll through page after page. Well, maybe the lovely people at Etsy were feeling the same way because they recently launched their “taste test.” It’s a quick quiz like process (it’s all pictures) that creates pages of products based on the things you like. The first question looks like this, but if you don’t see anything that appeals to you, you can refresh the options and try again. It’s a lovely thing, and a great way to start dropping those Valentine Day hints. Yea I said it, Christmas is almost so done for the year. Enjoy the holiday!

Right now is such a great time to think about buying gifts for your bridesmaids. Even if you wedding is next fall, there are so many deals and great pieces to be had. If you happen to be an advance planner, or someone who resolves to be every year, this is one thing you can easily (and inexpensively) knock off your list.

I have to tip my wool hat to winter brides. I mean winter weddings can be gorgeous, but it’s so cold! I am total wuss for cooler temps (currently still wearing my down jacket in my house), and so, I can appreciate the importance of a good cover up.

You must check out Emma Stein Jewelry. It’s is a great resource for bridesmaid gifts, shower thank you’s, holiday presents, holiday parties, or retail therapy because you are stressed from wedding planning and need something new and sparkly. Whatever the reason, her prices are a-mazing. All of the earrings below are less than $40!

It is fitting that I am writing this post from New York’s East Side with a view of Brooklyn across the way. Brook&lyn’s agate and rope jewelry has rocked my world. I especially like the raw stones they use in some of their pendants. It’s the perfect accessory to give any look a little added pop.

I know this lovely Oscar de la Renta clutch is more expensive then some wedding dresses, but I had to share. It is kind of like a two for one, wedding day clutch and something blue (see the lining!?). Okay, that might be a stretch…

These robes by Pretty Plum Sugar are the bomb, and would be fun to give as gifts to your bridesmaids. All the getting ready pictures would come out even better, plus it really is something your girls could use again.

Ok, I am officially obsessed. Hair-calf everything is popping up all over and it’s really pretty. One of my favorite handbag designers Kotur (she is good friends with Tory Burch if you were interested), created this amazing black and silver tote that looks like a $3500 bag, but is only $875. I say only, I am jaded by what I do, but relatively speaking it’s not bad… I never win any arguments with my relatively plea. Also at Saks, new designer Reed Karakoff has created some timeless “ladylike” handbags which are so chic. The Elie Tahari boutique has this to die for pump which is even prettier on. And lastly, these classic shaped clutches at Jeffrey by YSL and Givenchy are a great way to give this seasons monochromatic looks a little punch of interest.
