you had me at hello: down to there...

so what could stop me dead in my tracks? an awesome pair of shoes...a stylish handbag...throw in some vintage...or...some nice long dangling earrings...down to there...les sigh...

as i was perusing my april issue (yes...i'm behind) of california style...after all...i am a california girl through and through...this page...stopped me dead in my tracks...i mean really...how can you choose just one??

my favorite is the top right...after all diamonds are a girl's best friend...bulgari high jewelry earrings...i can tell you right now...without knowing the price...i know they are out of my budget...but a girl can dream...right?

second choice...the bottom right...ca & lou earrings...at saks fifth avenue
and third...for my running around town pair...i'm loving the bottom left...david yurman earrings...

the cocktail ring...

one of my fashion tidbits just happens to be..."the cocktail ring...size does matter! the bigger the better...the cocktail ring is meant to make a statement..."

on a day to day basis...the one piece of jewelry you will almost always find on me...is...the fabulous cocktail ring...ladies...it is not just for cocktail parties...wear them with everything & everywhere!

it is truly one of the easiest ways to make a statement...and how much more exciting does your story telling get when you are waving around that hand (used for emphasis)

the great thing about cocktail rings...they really do not need to be real - some of my favorites were found in obscure little stores in small towns...

so do it...be bold...be daring...venture out and find yourself that perfect cocktail ring...

here are some of my favorites...from pinky finger to right...kenneth j lane, david yurman (replica), rachel zoe, last two - no names...and um...no...i don't wear them all at the same time =)
