WARDROBE WEDNESDAY: A FEATURE ON SIRA & MARA

In case you missed it, last week's Fashion Friday was "GOING AZTEC."  I accessorized my outfit with a fun and stylish necklace I recently purchased from Sira & Mara.  Well, I am very excited to share that they have decided to use me as their very first "happy customer turned model" and are now using my picture on their website to showcase the necklace.  I can't tell you how excited I am about this!  Here's the link to the page! (I couldn't put the picture from their website right to the blog so I did my best taking pictures from my phone and uploading it :-).  Also, if you haven't checked out Sira & Mara's jewelry...well then what are you waiting for?!?  They have gorgeous necklaces and bracelets and they are all very affordable!

TRAVEL INSPIRED JEWELRY

I love to buy local jewelry when I jet set to different locations. It's fun to have something that you don't often see at home and it's a great way to remember where you've been. Well, I just heard about a jewelry designer named Vanessa Arizaga who shares the same passion I do for jet setting and jewelry, but takes it a step further by designing necklaces and bracelets with pieces that she buys when she travels around the world. Vanessa Arizaga will find different and interesting charms on her travels (from Peru to Mexico) and will then weave them with colorful threads and chains to create her one-of-a-kind jewelry line. Her prices range from $55 to $395. Happy shopping!
