Etsy Love: The Biggest Texas Ring For The Biggest Personality

Texas TexasI haven’t done a classic Etsy post for awhile (last year, actually!), so let’s take a bit of a breather from the heaviness of the world for a minute to admire this gem! It’s an opal ring IN THE SHAPE of Texas…

Maybe I chose this ring for a reason today! We started watching The Night Shift last week (sadly, we finished The West Wing, but be on the lookout for lots of posts on that soon!) and we really like it! The show follows a group of emergency room doctors working — you guessed it! — the night shift at a big Texas hospital and, well, now it’s got me yearning to travel to the one and only Lone Star state!!! The food! The people! The energy! Seriously, as the saying goes, EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas — and that probably includes my Big Hair Energy, don’t you think?

Anyway, that sense of awe and huge spectacles is what drew me to this ring. How cool is it? I was immediately drawn to its opal hue and the way it catches the light. Besides, who wouldn’t want to be walking around with the perfect conversation starter right there on your finger?!?!? Plus, if I actually did visit Texas one day, I could have a marvelous meta moment — and you know how much I love all things meta!

TexasHave you ever traveled to Texas, friends? What was your favorite part?? Also, have you found any standout gems in your online browsing lately? Let me know in the comments! xoxo

7 Essential Accessories for All Women

AccessoriesThe little nuances in life are often the things that matter the most, believe it or not. If you’re a woman who wants to feel like a style icon everywhere you go, then you should think about putting more thought into all of your accessory choices. Don’t forget that strong accessories can make an impact. They can make people turn heads anytime you walk by as well. These seven accessory categories can be game-changers for women who want to look and feel like a million bucks. Here’s how to take your accessories up a notch…

Jewelry Chains

You should look into securing jewelry chains by the foot if at all possible. These chains can be wonderful for women who adore tailored accessories. You can choose the exact length of your newest necklace. You can choose any eye-catching pendant your heart desires. If you want to walk around with a bespoke look, then the assistance of jewelry chains can do the trick.

Boots

Boots are amazingly versatile. If you’re a woman who wants to look carefree, sultry, and stylish all at the same time, then there are few accessory choices out there that can even come close to boots. You can choose between all kinds of striking boot categories as well. If you want to epitomize Americana, you can try your hand at cowboy boots. If you want to look chic and funky, you can try your hand at classic velvet boots.

Watches

Watches are becoming less and less common as time goes on — and with valid reasoning. People generally rely on their mobile devices as a means of checking the time. If you want to do away with that concept, then you should secure a classic watch. A watch can make you look responsible, cool, and classic. Don’t forget that watches are accessible in all kinds of appealing and enduring styles and colors.

AccessoriesRings

Rings in no way, shape or form have to be limited to women who are married or engaged. That’s because rings also make timeless and cool accessories in and of themselves. If you want to make your hands “pop” visually, then few things can help you better than a traditional ring can. There are all sorts of ring styles that can flatter the hands and fingers. You can explore all of your choices in cocktail rings, birthstone rings, and puzzle rings.

Gloves

Gloves are accessories that can be simultaneously functional and chic. They can keep your hands snug and warm in times of severely low temperatures outdoors. At the same time, they can make your look a lot more appealing and cool. There are all kinds of exciting and contemporary choices in glove styles on the market right now. Don’t forget that gloves can hide your hands when they don’t look their best. If you have bleeding and dry knuckles in the middle of a particularly frigid winter season, then a classic pair of gloves can conceal them well.

Shawls

Shawls can keep you warm and cozy when temperatures inside or outside are a bit chilly. They can also help you make a major style statement. There are so many shawl options that embody all sorts of style preferences. If you want to look quirky and exotic, there are shawls that can serve you well. If you want to look elegant, sophisticated and refined, there are shawls that can help you get that look. You can find shawls that are made using all kinds of materials. You can find them in all kinds of pleasing and stylish colors, too.

AccessoriesStockings

If you want to make your lovely gams look even more toned and fit, then there aren’t any accessories available that can come even close to stockings. Stockings can make your legs look their best no matter what. If you want to hide your lack of a tan during the winter or the spring season, the assistance of classic stockings can help. If you want to cover up any imperfections such as veins on your legs, stocking can assist you dramatically as well. Don’t forget about all of the stocking style categories that are out there waiting for you.

Holiday Gift Guide #5: Self-Care For the Seriously Stressed

self-careThe idea for the fifth and final installment in this year’s Holiday Gift Guide comes to us from my wonderful friend Claire!! She suggested a soothing round-up of self-care gifts and…what was my first thought when I saw said suggestion??

“Why, yessss!!! Isn’t that the one thing that everybody needs right about now?”

It’s so true, isn’t it? I don’t know if it’s just because it’s the end of the year and winter is making everything dark and gloomy, but I’m feeling the ever-growing need to just hunker down at home — with my adorable cats, of course! And like I’m always telling my mom, there’s nothing wrong with taking some time to rest and recharge those batteries! To calm your mind, body, soul and spirit! To…just…be.

Ahhh, sounds so calming and peaceful, doesn’t it??? To encourage your loved ones to take a little R&R over the holiday break, here are eight self-care finds that might entice them, starting with some crystal bar soaps (prices vary) to bring some healing energy to shower time…

self-careA meditation kit to begin the path to zen, $58.80

self-careThese gemstone-adorned reusable straws for a new, futuristic hydrating experience, $40

self-careTwo words: Quilted slippers, $39 (need I say more??)

self-careThis winter solstice candle for warming those cold nights, $12.60

Here’s to feeling calm and relaxed, friends!!! Maybe you even found something that speaks to you to among these treasures… xoxo
