Jewels

If there is only one thing I want for Christmas this year, it’s necklaces! And the fun ones, not those super expensive single diamond/jeweled ones that my Dad buys my mother every year. I really don’t understand the appeal of those kinds. Give me something with a little bit more personality to it!

Amy’s Wedding

So like I thought I would, I ended up getting another dress to wear for the wedding. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be. When I finally arrived at the Alderwood Mall, I decided to to first hit up Forever 21. Cheap dress??? Since they moved to a larger space, they have more clothes & two floors to maneuver through. I nearly spent an hour wandering, waiting in dressing room line and trying things on.

Alas, I didn’t like any of the dress there for the wedding. I really was looking for something more flowly and light than the ones I was liking. But by the time I made my purchase of a new sweater and some jewelry, it was almost 3 pm and I needed to check in my hotel. With less than 2 hours left til the wedding, I had to make a quick decision.So I returned to the mall. This was my last ditch effort at JCPenny and if I didn’t find anything I like, the long maxi black dress I brought with me will have to do. Thank goodness they had this dress! I was super excited that it not only looked goo, but make me feel great!

So the plan for the next wedding I get invited to, figure out what I’m wearing a week ahead instead of the night before. Learned my lesson. Two: need to buy a larger weekend bag to hold two shoes, not one…. don’t ask. :P

Put a Ring on it!!

Summer weather is still lacking here in on the island and the Pacific Northwest. But it doesn’t mean that summer is coming.  Finger-crossed for sunny skies this weekend, I’ve got a bachlorette party happening down in Seattle!

For me, summer means trading my gloves for rings! Currently I’m on a gold-rush obsession!

The bigger, brighter, bolder the ring is, the better and the more I want them!!

I’ve been wearing my knuckle Owl ring that I got from my BFF for the last week or so! I get lots of comments one it when I’m watching the front counter!

BULLETS2BANDAGES

As a military brat, I completely support our military even if I don’t believe in the war. I always try to donate what I can to help our military personnel and their families. Here’s a great way to support our men and women who selflessly risked their lives for their country. Jewelry made of demilitarized bullet casings by Bullet2Bandages. They are a cause campaign that raises money for nonprofit organizations thorugh the sales of hand-made jewelry with proceeds benefiting wounded soldier and their families.

They also carry necklaces, hats, shirts and special items like a 50 Caliber Bottle Bottle Opener. You know you want one!
