Turquoise Obsession

I love turquoise. Obsessed really. Throughout the years, I have either found pieces that I've had to have, or had some lovely people gift them to me. 

My mom recently got back from a trip to Cancun for a Matrix training. While she was there, she bartered with a local vendor to bring me back a fab turquoise beaded cuff. Of course I went gaga over it, and promptly added it to my collection.

Which piece is your fav?

Leave it to polka dots to put me in a good mood! This dress is flirty and fun, and I love the way it moves! To add to the excitement, I'm wearing some vintage 1970's heels my aunt gave me, that she wore back in the day! What do you think?

Accessories are so fun! The 'Edward Smiles' bracelet is something I won from the awesome jewelery designer Jules Smith a couple years ago. [ A few days before my birthday, matter of fact! ] My bird ring has a long history, too. It was a yearly purchase at the Central Washington State Fair. Yearly because I lost it. Every year. [ The original was purchased by my dad-- the consecutive ones, too. Hey, I was young! ]

What are some of your favorite accessories to wear?

Add a little more to the mix. Because it's fun!

During our recent trip to NYC we picked up some great accessories including these knuckle rings. They are a simple, yet great, addition to your current ring collection and they can be manipulated to suit your desired style. (See how we dropped it to the base of our pinkies?) 

The infinity ring that dré wears was picked up from a street vendor near DASH SoHo. Since dré snagged the last one, the gentleman handcrafted one for me right then and there! My spike ring is one of my favs. It's one of those anything that says look at me pieces that I covet.
