Giving Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year has thrown me plenty of loops but also many blessings. 

It's one of my nightly routines to show gratitude for the little things the day has bestowed to me.

This year I am first and foremost thankful for:

.Family and my friends (the true crew who is there through everything)

.Moglie and her wild little furry self

.The never ending love and support of my other half (the boyfriend)

.Our cozy little home & the friends surrounding it

.My health (because we all know what happened earlier this year)

.Being able to do what I absolutely love

Wearing: H&M sweater (old, similar here & here), Jeans Nich Boutique, Boots: DSW (Similar here & here), ohheychrisi cranberry and gold headband

My Birthday Weekend

To say I've been quite on the busy side is an understatement.

My work week by Wednesday climbed to the 55 hour mark and let's just leave it at, "I'm glad to have the next couple of days 'off'." (In reality, I'll be making tons of jewels and headbands, gearing up for the holidays).

But, I wanted to give a quick nod to my birthday weekend, where I dined at a luxe seafood & steakhouse, spent quality time with my family and even celebrated my anniversary (6 years holy cow).

Wearing: H&M beanie (similar), BCBG Oversized Pea Coat (old), DSW Boots (Similar)

Calm before the Chill

Friday and Saturday both got into the 70's!

That's almost unheard of for late October/early November.

But alas, we've hit November and this calls for layers and a richer color palate. 

Wearing: Forever21 Utility jacket (here & similar), Joe Fresh jeans (similar in leggings), Essie polish in "bahama mama", Boots Matisse (old)

an adventure

Back with a vengeance.
The past two weeks have literally been non-stop. Days and evenings flowing into each other, strapping me down for the ride in a whirlwind of car rides, visitors and some real creative inspiration (speckled with day jobs and vibrant Autumn scenery).
I'm back.
Sorry for the hiatus.

Whenever I go to NYC to get new supplies for the jewels, I always meet up with my fellow jewelry maker & blogger- Danielle. This time though, she made the trek down from Long Island, New York to good old Philadelphia (Manayunk to be exact). I really wanted to share with her my favorite places so naturally I took her to Nich Boutique (which I explained so lovingly here). Kristy Mak, the owner has been carrying the "ohheychrisi" jewels for a few months now and not only does she curate a fabulous clothing selection...the whole vibe of her accessories section made me feel like it'd be a great fit for both of our brands.
Her husband Chris created all of the jewelry displays out of vintage wooden cartons and antique picture frames. It totally sets the mood for my little collections and inspires me every time I stop in.
If you're ever in the West Chester to Philadelphia area, it's pretty much smack in between the two & trust me, you won't be disappointed.
