Still loving the photos from our Baltimore trip. They take me back to such an amazing weekend! I love wearing black and beige together– just ask my students and co-workers. It’s a frequent color combo for me for work and play! So, this outfit is a favorite of mine. As you can probably tell, I’m loving off-the-shoulder tops (CLEARLY) and this one is no exception. It was perfect for the harbor at night, too.
I’m not one to get my panties in a bundle over shoes. A new Louis purse– yes, of course… but shoes, eh, whatevs. But these– these Vince Camuto booties– they’re game changers.<3 Also, they’re currently on SALE right now for 25% off! First of all, I walked all over Baltimore Harbor in them (miles) and they’re, honestly, comfier than most of my tennis shoes! OK, quick back story. I struggle with shoes. I’ve gotten the best of the best walking/running shoes, but my feet always get blisters and hurt. Therefore, I’m not one to throw around the “c” word unless I mean it. Ladies, they are SO comfortable. I even wear them to teach in! I have to admit this to you. I love them so much that after that weekend at the harbor, I bought them in black, too. No regrets.
Of course, I’m wearing my jewelry from the lovely and creative Cathie Nilson’s shop. Located in Rochester, NY, she makes the most beautiful Swarovski crystal jewelry in all the land! She owned and ran her own upscale boutique in New York, so when it comes to beautiful color combinations, there is no one better. With this outfit, I am wearing the Dark & Lovely 12MM Swarovski Crystal bracelet in an antique brass setting. I am also wearing the Beautiful & Radiant Golden Shadow 12MM Swarovski Crystal bracelet in an antique brass setting. I usually wear these beautiful pieces of jewelry with my Golden Shadow 12MM cushion cut lever back drop earrings.
Just wait until you see the necklace Cathie just designed for me. OMG– it’s my favorite piece of jewelry that I own. OK, I can’t wait. I have to give you a sneak peek today. I had seen the clear stone/black chain version of this necklace offered from Sabika, but totally am loving champagne-colored stones lately. So, I talked to Cathie (who does custom orders) and she made me this beautiful necklace with a black chain and champagne stones (this girl loves her black and gold)!! <3 She also has the necklace with the black chain and clear stones combination. Just FYI, it’s not even ONE THIRD of the cost of the Sabika one! She will treat you fairly and her jewelry is of the highest quality. Coming from a business family, I appreciate good customer service and Cathie’s is unrivaled. In fact, when our beautiful blog readers place an order with Cathie, she will give you 10% off your order of $50 or more when you use our code: ALA10OFF. She also is offering free shipping!
Some of my favorite pieces designed by Cathie Nilson.
