Christo by Brighton

is a new collection of cuffs that is a must-have for every woman. I’ve always wanted to say that. Anyway… it is a must-have for me. I’ve had mine for several months now and have been able to accessorize several outfits with it. The cuff features interchangeable and reversible leathers straps which allows you to transform your look. You can display them with or without the leather strap. Today I’m styling mine without the leather.

I have the Christo Madrid Narrow Cuff Bracelet

The narrow straps that were purchased with my cuff are reversible in the colors henna/cobblestone and pewter/lipstick.

Yes, he follows me everywhere.

Instead of wearing a strap insert in my cuff today, I decided to stack it with another bracelet which is also a Brighton favorite.

Obviously my cuff is silver, but it also comes in gold. There are three sizes: slim, narrow, and wide. LB picked mine out and gave it to me as a gift, but I would have picked the same one! I wear it all the time and I love it! The Christo cuff goes with everything! I sound like a commercial!

Posing in Italy!

June 9, 2017

My life is exciting, but I haven’t been able to make time to visit Italy (source)

I have just recently started my blog… only three months ago TODAY! It has been a lot of fun and more work than I imagined… more like a second job than a hobby or pastime. Last week I enjoyed a summer vacation trip to Captiva Island which I covered in this blog, and wrapped up with a visit to the ER. It was at some point during the ride to the hospital that I realized how SHORT life really is. My thought during that ride was that I was on my way out, like my Daddy who was just slightly older than me when he left this world on November 23rd 2001. I am much like him, so it is no wonder that I assumed I would meet the same type of end. I may still do that, just not on June 3rd 2017. I am proud that I am so much like him. But I am pleased to say that I’m not finished here yet.

As I was flipping through Instagram during my lunch break today, I noticed ANOTHER person that I follow posting photos of herself in Italy. It seems to be a trend to pose for a picture of yourself in Cinque Terre.

Happily, I am taking shots of myself in my bedroom! Alive and well

… and wearing my beautiful White House Black Market blouse that LB purchased for me in March of this yearalong with my FAVORITE black sandals

and all the Brighton jewelry any red blooded American girl could ask for

my bracelets are retired. The above pictured are similar

Thank you Jesus

Strolling down St George Street

April 2, 2017

Starting at H. W. Davis, we began perusing through the shops on the iconic St George Street in ‘Old Town’ St Augustine.

This shop is filled with clothing and shoes, and features Brighton, Joseph Ribkoff, and Vera Bradley items. The window display always showcases something I’d love to have. If I’m lucky, I’ll get it for my birthday (hint).

Fresh Produce is a shop that does not offer fruit and veg, but you can find fun clothes and accessories for women and children, including this cute little bracelet that was only $15

Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry Co. offers a variety of items that have been handcrafted by artisans from around the world. In addition to clothing and jewelry, there are items for the home like these confetti glasses that are on my wish list
