Holiday months are when I try to pick up most of my makeup items for the year – because gift sets, etc. are usually on sale. I don’t have a huge haul for all of you but a collective one from October and the beginning of November. Have you tried any of these products? Check it out and let me know what you think. I will try to have reviews up of some of the makeup items soon.
Those closest to me know that Gemstones, crystals and natural works of art have stolen my heart years ago. I have quite an extensive collection of tumbled stones, crystals and gems and have even gotten my son into collecting them (his collection is even larger than mine). I especially love to wear these pieces of Art on jewelry because they many of them have healing powers that help with your well being. Now – I know that not many people believe in things like that… but just think about it, these stones come from the Earth – our Earth provides for us the nutrients our body needs. From Amethyst to Crystal and ever single other stone in between, I wear these pieces proudly.
The herkimer diamond (pictured) is a natural quartz mineral stone that was handcrafted into a pendant / jewelry piece. While it’s hard to see in most images, the stone has a natural sparkle to it that really gives it that “diamond” look and feel. What I love about these is that they are such a raw looking piece that you can pair it with a casual wardrobe or dress it up for a night on the town – it will go with anything.
The pendant hangs from an 18 inch 14K gold fill chain. I tend to lean more towards those that are made in similar elements to themselves because my skin can be sensitive often and since I use this piece often, I love how with a little care, it will last me a really long time with little to no tarnishing. I love to pair this necklace with a nice black blouse (or white), jeans and simple makeup. I would certainly use this with a pretty little black dress as well for a date night on the town. In this case, I’m using a gorgeous true red lipstick and eyeliner/mascara, a black scoop neck top and a pair of cargo shorts, which allows the piece to also stand as a focal point in my entire ensemble.
This pendant is not only a limited piece from FriedaSophie / Shoplately, but it is absolutely timeless. I will find myself reaching for it in years to come and I absolutely am in love with how simple the piece is yet, definitely eye catching.Get yours today for just $45.00. ( A steal for a piece that is made so beautifully) Each piece is handcrafted and made to order so if you would like something different, message FriedaSophie to inquire about it.

It’s no secret that I have been inspired in one time or another by singers like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Mary Wells, Petula Clark, Skeeter Davis…
I was pretty surprised with myself when I decided to take the plunge and actually pick up a turban… or two for that matter. But, I’m glad that I did. It is not something I ever pictured myself wearing, but I thought it would be so sultry and perfect for Fall and Winter Seasons so I decided to get some.Now that I have – I LOVE them and will be picking up more. What do you think? Have you used a turban before? And, what are your thoughts on them? I honestly think that they will be a timeless trend. I don’t know how I have lived without them for so long.
I purchased my Turban from my Go-To accessories website (and now apparel too) – Shoplately. When I say they have everything you need to Style for every single season – I am definitely not exaggerating. From Jewelry and Scarves, Handbags and Footwear and now Clothing… it is a One-Stop Shop for all your girlie and Fashion needs.This particular turban that I am rocking out was just $10.00 and is a gorgeous “feel good” black velvet. After having a brief discussion with the owner of the shop I got this from, Kristen Perry Accessories told me that most of their products are “Made to order” which is awesome. The craftmanship is fabulous and it is so comfortable on my head. I was a bit worried, because I have a larger head then most people do, but was very happy to find that it fit me perfectly and it is such a show stopper piece. Every where I went, people were stopping me and asking me where I got it.
