Friends, I’m excited to give you a behind-the-scenes look one of So About What I Said’s new sponsors today. I recently had the chance to chat with Camile of Poshlocket and loved hearing her story. I hope you enjoy! xoxo

So tell me a bit about Poshlocket Poshlocket is an online fashion jewelry boutique that carries a wide range of styles. We have pieces that are unique and bold, classic and elegant and that are minimalistic, but yet not boring. Everyone will find something that caters to their style. Also, our goal is to provide beautiful jewelry at an affordable price. Free shipping and free returns as well!

In this recession economy, what are some ways people can still look chic for less?
Best tip we can give is to “accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!!” You don’t need to go buy whole new outfit for each and every occasion. Simply adding a bold necklace or belt, or maybe even a scarf, can turn one outfit into five different looks!

What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
We love everything in the store because they’re all so different, but I’ll narrow it down to three…
Rose painter’s studs: Such a beautiful pair of earrings. They look somewhat vintage but modern.
Zelda animal print bracelet: Bold arm candy. The print and colors are so much fun! (Note: Readers can get 10% until November 28. Just enter Zelda2011 at checkout).
Jolie black and white necklace: Love the black and white combo, and it’s really rare to have a chunky pearl LONG necklace that doesn’t “overdo” it. Looks great on a white blouse and button downs as well as cashmere sweaters and knit turtle necks!

Thanks, Camile! And don’t forget to check out Poshlocket’s November/December sweepstakes for your chance to win a jewelry gift bag! :)

Fashion Friday: Happy Socks

In the fall, there’s nothing I love more than putting on a warm pair of socks and sitting in front of the fireplace. Open my sock drawer, though, and all you’ll find is one white pair after another. So, it must be fate that I’d fall in love with Happy Socks, a company based in Sweden. Their philosophy on the art of socks? “A vision to spread happiness by turning an everyday essential into a colourful design piece.”

How cool is that? Could you imagine rolling on a bright pair and taking to the streets? Oh, the possibilities! Here are the three eye-poppers that have me doing a little happy dance…

I love that they’re sort of cartoonish and pictured on actual feet, don’t you? Just looking at them makes me want to dance around my living room! What about you, friends? Would you wear them? Are you a sock lover? xoxo

Minnesota lakes logos

I love the idea behind the Branding 10,000 Lakes project: Create unique logos for all of Minnesota’s lakes! “Lake logos have a tendency to be, well, fairly ugly. This project was created to rethink what they could be,” said creator Nicole Meyer. The result? One lake. One logo. Every day. As Nicole says, it should only take a little more than 27 years. Eeeks!

P.S. Remember these state pillows and state prints?

Antique Rings.

By now, friends, you should know that I have a bit of an obsession with rings. A pretty big one, actually. I went on a bit of a spending spree this summer (thank you, etsy!,) and now have a nice collection of baubles. So I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that these antique rings from Erie Basin caught my eye, too. They’d make a great wedding ring, don’t you think? Did you hear that, Mr. Melissa Blake?

What do these rings remind you of, friends? I’d love to know! xoxo
