You Better Go Get Your Armor











I first saw these fun accessories from Armor Jewelry on BLEED FOR FASHION and I came across them again on Stanton James. I really, really love this stuff; although some pieces might be a bit much for some. I guess I just need to keep saving my pennies and add this to my never ending 'wish list'....

AshleyIDesigns


I had a terrible fright today. I was about to compliment a lady on how interesting and "lifelike" her snakeskin bracelet was.... until the head of the snake moved and stared me directly in the eyes. I screamed like a little girl and shook off the creepy crawly feeling. So now I sit here still traumatized and full of tension.



The "beautiful snakelet" did inspire me to fill you followers in on some awesome jewellery . My friend Ashley Insana recently created her own jewellery line Ashley I Designs and I am in love with it.





I met her on a visit to Chicago when she was first starting out. Her talent has developed so much since then and her pieces are hard to keep out of your shopping basket.













"I believe in the elegant simplicity of jewelry and I'm driven by the desire to create pieces that generate an emotional connection"


She is a wonderful full-time Mom and I don't know where she finds the time to manage her line. Her husband has a job that requires them to move quite a bit so right now she is having a huge sale that you can check out here.

Gentle Like A Fawn

















Dress:GentleFawn; Belt:Forever21; Fedora:Jules&James; Shoes:Spring Jewellery:Miscellaneous



I was very privileged to land an awesome internship a few years ago with a company called Gentle Fawn. This dress was my mega score from their sample sale. I have to admit I haven't worn it before so I was thrilled when my friend Brien thought it would work for his idea for a photo shoot.

These pictures are from my first photo shoot with BJG Photography and I know it won't be the last. It was such a fun laid back shooting session and I'm very happy with how the pictures turned out.

I've often been told I look like Carrie Underwood, rather Carrie Fisher now. I joke about these pictures being the cover of my next country CD. If you want to see the full shoot click here
