Currently Loving: Julie Vos

I have a new found love.  Julie Vos jewelry is perfection.  The semi-precious stones are vivid in color and fun.  Her pieces are classic yet fun.  

I first fell in love with the Nicolette Bangle.  How can you not?

These great bracelets are so great to wear all together or add to others.  I love them.

They are available in pearl, orange coral, turquoise, aqua chalcedony, labradorite, and black onyx. And to be honest, you can't go wrong with any of them.  In my option, you need them all!

After loving these bracelets, I saw the Avalon Pendant.

The Avalon Pendant comes in a variety of colors, turquoise, lapis, moonstone, orange coral, aqua chalcedony, black onyx, and labradorite.

I have my eye on a few other pieces.  Some great earrings and another necklace are on my list.  Check out her great website.

Hope you all are enjoying the last week of August!  Schools are starting and September is right around the corner.  My vacation in September is booked.  Yes, I will be chasing summer as long as I can.

"Being Happy Never Goes Out of Style"

Freshman Year

It is that time of year again, school time.  Where did summer go?

 I wanted to talk about college, mostly freshman year.  It is the biggest event that takes place after high school.  It is a time that you are away from home, away from parents, away from what you have always known, and finally all on your own.  Ahhh!  To me, this was scary!  I went 8 hours away from home and didn't know anyone.  Talk about end of the world!  (It wasn't.  It was just different)

Freshman year can be full of new and fascinating things.  But you seem to stand out as a freshman.

People know you are a freshman when:

- You carry a map of campus with your class schedule everywhere you go.  Come on, please just use your phone, it's a smart phone remember?

- Orientation is your first opportunity to meet friends.

- You are stuck with the 8 am classes and you leave extra early in case you go to the room or worse the wrong building!

- Your roommate becomes your "Best" friend.  It is a little forced at times.

- You wear your high school sweatshirt around campus. No one cares you played a sport senior year.

- You wear your ID card on a lanyard.  Just stop.

- You have to ask for your door to be unlocked because, well you forgot your key. (Time to be responsible)

- You become "that" girl or guy at the party, come on handle yourself! It is not ok.

We have all been there.  I remember my freshman year like it was yesterday.  I didn't know anyone and I never even went to sleep away camp when I was little.  College was a shock for me.  At first I wanted to go home, but in the end everything worked out fine.  I met great friends that I still have to this day and now I miss my time spent at college.  I would even do freshman year again.  

So if you are new and starting as a freshman, don't be scared.  Remember everyone is in the same boat.  You are all looking for friends, wondering where to go, what to do on weekends, and just trying to make it through freshman year.

I wish you all luck in the new school year!  These are some of the best years of your life, cherish them.

Laugh Lots

This Berry "Laugh Lots" bracelet from Nordstrom has been a new favorite of mine lately.

It is available in both Gold and Silver

Gold

Silver

It is a simple piece to add to a bunch of bracelets or wear alone.  This bracelet is a nice reminder that everyday you should have a laugh and not to take things so seriously.  We all need a good laugh sometimes, do we not?  I know I need a good laugh every now and then.

Hope you all have had a great Wednesday.  Glad to see the middle of the week again.  I am looking forward to this weekend.  I have dinner plans with some great friends on Friday and Saturday!

Don't forget to laugh!
