This is an interesting blog about how to stack jewelry.  http://www.thedocndiva.com/2013/06/stacking-jewelry-fashion-trends-2013.html. They use traditional Indian jewelry stacking as a starting point.  As I looked at the photo I thought WOW this is a great example.

Gifts That Won't Freak Out the Guy You Just Started Dating

Elle Magazine did a list of 9 gifts that won't freak out that new boyfriend.  I wish I had this when I was dating!  My favorite answer that Elle provided was the Snoopy Snow Cone maker.  He can't read much into this selection except for your creative mind. http://bit.ly/1eephAs.  I also like the idea of Cufflinks and below you'll see my favorite pair by Halley Barney made from Labradorite (an awesome smoky stone) and Blue Topaz http://bit.ly/IWDqU6.

Pat Martino and The Pittsburgh Jazz Festival

If you are a Jazz Guitar fan Pat Martino is playing at the Pittsburgh Jazz Festival in June. I am amazed at his talent (he's considered a prodigy) and even more so because after an accident he had to learn to play the guitar all over again. WOW!http://pittsburghjazzlive.com/

Brunello Cucinelli Dress

When I saw this dress at Neiman Marcus I knew this would look great on me.  I might have to brake down and pay retail. (YIKES!)  I would wear the Autus Bangles and Etruscan Earrings by Christine MacKellar as accessories.  

Dream Clothes

I have spent so much time working on my craft and raising my boys that I have neglected myself to the point where I can't remember when I bought my last pair of shoes. YIKES! So now is the time to focus on me and to that end I have been developing groupings of outfits that I would love to have if money were no limit and see if I can imitate it with a quality focused yet budget minded shopper's eye.

"When in doubt wear red." Bill Blass
I love this daring neckline and bold color.  The midriff would not look well on me but I love it on the model. For accessories I would wear Amy Faust's 6 Circles Necklace and Red Tail Light Glass Earrings.
