Good Morning everyone!  This is the exquisite jewelry from Bijoutiere I told you about a while back, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you.  Jewelry designers, Donna Guidry and Mary Irwin of California sent me a few pieces from their Spring 2012 collection to feature on my blog.  I find that these particular collections are very easy to style into your everyday wardrobe.  The designs I chose to feature are casual customized pieces that you can add to any ordinary outfit for a fun unique flair.

Bijoutiere provides their customers with quality handmade jewelry giving each piece its own individual and feminine touch.  Designer duo Donna and Mary really take their service above and beyond by making themselves available to design “custom pieces that are as individual as you” (www.bijoutiereinc.com).  I actually own a necklace from Bijoutiere that was custom designed just for me as a Christmas present from someone I’m very close with, which makes it very special to me.

Donna’s one of a kind designs have even made appearances in movies, TV shows, commercials and on celebrities such as actors, Sasha Pieterse from Pretty Little Liars, Boo Boo Stewart from Twilight and Kirsten Storms featured in Runway magazine.

A few of Bijoutiere’s collections currently includes: Lace & Grace, Diamond Dogs, Charmed…I’m Sure, Jammin’ Jewels, Shimmer and Shine, and Faith and Hope.  According to their website, all eleven collections are available in sterling silver and gold (yellow, rose, white).   Donna and Mary say that “Bijoutiere designs are constantly evolving and we believe will stand the test of time, today and years from now” (www.bijoutiereinc.com).  Make sure to visit their website and Facebook page if you’re interested in their jewelry.

**Don’t miss out on today’s deal!! Donna is offering 40% OFF the jewelry for all of my subscribers!**

The bracelet and earrings above are from their Hot Roks collection which is one of my favorites.  Donna and Mary were so sweet to gift me this pair of earrings and a Faith and Hope necklace so you’ll be seeing them in quite a few of my future outfit posts!

I also absolutely adore the bracelets below from their Island Fantaseas collection.  Which bracelet do you like?

I hope you enjoyed my post about this fabulous jewelry line.  Donna’s career story really serves as an inspiration to me, not because she is a jewelry designer, but because she started out designing jewelry in a small town called Bogalusa, Louisiana and took her dreams to the next level.  She now resides in California with her own company and sells to multiple retailers and to customers through her online web site. AND not only does she design jewelry for celebrities; she’s quite the celebrity herself.   She’s appeared in movies, TV shows, commercials and has even done some modeling.  Her jewelry line is definitely worth checking out.  Make sure to see her collection at http://www.bijoutiereinc.com 

P.S.  The girl pictured in the post with me is my next F.I.F (Fashion Inspiration Feature): Meghan Price.  Get ready to see more of her later this week!

Have a wonderful day!

Good morning everyone!  I’m so excited that I finally get to share this outfit with you!  I put this particular look together to show you a possible St. Patrick’s Day outfit. I have to say I was quite please with the finished product.

 I am so happy that I finally found the perfect shade of mint green jeans at Rodeo boutique in Baton Rouge for the price of only $39!  I recently partnered with Rodeo so you will be seeing a lot more great pieces at amazing prices from their store!  The top I’m wearing is from a store called LF that I make sure to visit every year when I go to California to see my family.  LF stores carry only exclusive designer items so you’re guaranteed to find something unique!  I got my black fringe purse from Brenchley Shoes and Accessories in Mandeville a few years ago.  It’s such a fabulous purse, but I was hesitant to buy it at first because I was worried that the fringe would limit the amount of outfits I could pair it with.  However,  I have found that it works with a ton of different outfits.  Take a look at some of my previous posts to see for yourself.  I think it adds some edge to my look.

I wore my long single pendant necklace and cross wrap bracelet from Love with this outfit because both are casual pieces that complement the outfit without clashing with the brightness of the mint green pants.  Also, I think that wearing a long necklace with with a cropped top elongates your torso and balances out your shape.  I of course had to add my green tea Tory Burch wrap bracelet because it matched perfectly with the mint green denim.  What do you think of this look?

P.S. Yesterday, Karen Nelson filmed an interview on me and my blog for her broadcast class.  We had so much fun making the video and I can’t wait to share it with you all!  Have a wonderful Wednesday!
