Cuyana Is My Go-to For Leather Handbags

March 3, 2020

Cuyana is THE place to shop for a high-quality handbag! Not familiar with Cuyana? Cuyana is a female-founded brand that celebrates "fewer, better things." This is why I'm drawn to the company. I'm constantly striving for quality over quantity when it comes to my closet and sustainability. All of their items are ethically sourced, timeless, and something you will have for years.What I’m Wearing – Blazer: Madewell | Blouse: J.Crew | Denim: J.Crew Factory | Necklace: Lace & Pearls Jewelry | Bracelet: Lace & Pearls Jewelry | Ring: J.Crew (old) | Bag: Cuyana Saddle Bag (gifted) | Shoes: M.M. LaFleur (gifted) | Lipstick: BeautyCounter Color Intense Lipstick in color 9 to 5

Cuyana is THE place to shop for a high-quality handbag! I first got a glimpse of the brand when I spotted my friend Jenn from Hello Rigby carrying the Small Carryall Tote.

Mastering a Healthy Lifestyle + A Year in Review

January 21, 2020

It's a new year and a new decade! Can you believe it?! How are we already done with January?Keep reading, to hear my plans for achieving a healthy lifestyleWhat I’m Wearing – Blouse: J.Crew | Vest: Maurices c/o (similar) | Jeans: J.Crew Factory | Shoes: Sam Edelman | Ring: J.Crew (old) | Necklace: Lace & Pearls Jewelry (old) | Lipstick (dupe): Tom Ford

It’s a new year and a new decade! Can you believe it?! How are we already done with January? It feels like a whirlwind.

Back in September, I got super sick during a vacation to Boise, Idaho and I haven’t been 100% since. During Christmas, I also came down with a cold and then once January got here I got the flu. During that time, I fell completely off social media. I was posting pretty good there for a while but after a busy quarter 4 with my business and getting the flu, it kinda went downhill. Needless to say, I am ready to kick this cold in the butt and get back to a healthy lifestyle.

There are numerous festivities, Christmas shopping to complete, events to host, and travel to see family and friends, of course.

How to Style the Stefanie Mini — Lace & Pearls Jewelry

November 5, 2019

The piece coming in at number one is the Stefanie Mini! Since launching this style a year ago, I've sold 67 units. Her story is unique — she started out as the 'Stefanie,' a double-layered necklace (instead of a single layer), adorned with semi-precious (celestite) gemstones. What makes her unique is the matte gold chevron layer.Model: Megan of Diary of this Girl 📷: Sarah Wolfe

I’ve often wondered how to incorporate my handmade jewelry line — Lace & Pearls Jewelry (LPJ) — into my blog outside the typical outfit posts. It occurred to me that it would be fun to share the story behind each piece of jewelry. And this post is timely, as LPJ is celebrating its two-year anniversary on November 7th. Woot! This feels like a great time to begin a new series on my blog.
