This giveaway is way to good to be hidden at the end of yesterday’s post. It’s your chance to win $150 to spend on beautiful travel-inspired jewelry from KiraKira. Take a look around and let me know what you would choose. Would you pick multiple items to refresh your jewelry box or put it toward one incredible statement piece?
Personally, I’d go for the latter. I’m smitten with this chrysoprase and pink sapphire cocktail ring.
Good luck!
Last night, I was trying to get the perfect photo for Instagram to show that my new Ferragamos match the painting I created for our bedroom when I heard a laugh behind me. Dave was poised with his phone taking photos of me taking photos of my shoes. I scoffed, “ain’t no shame” and when about my business. Until he threatened to share it via Shapchat with one of our friends. I pleaded with him to keep it private and send it only to me. I promptly made it public on Instagram. I look ridiculous, but this is what blogging is, folks, and I suspect we’ve all had an awkward photo moment once or twice.
Here’s to a weekend filled with awkward poses and situations to get the perfect shot for your blogs next week! Around here, the week will bring some of our trip photos (finally), an interview with the woman behind Kira Kira and a giveaway, my thoughts on Birkenstocks and a French Wardrobe update.
P.S. You should check out Margaret Elizabeth’s weekend sample sale for incredible deals on gemstone jewelry. I bought these in black onyx and moonstone. Sign up for the mailing list for another 15% off. Shipping is just $5.
You may have spotted this gorgeous ring in yesterday’s post. It’s by a relatively new brand called Vrai & Oro, a fine jewelry retailer that offers simple, delicate staples you’ll want to wear everyday. Vrai & Oro cuts out the middleman—and the normal retail markup of eight to ten times the original value—for fine jewelry sales, allowing the brand to offer ethically produced, high quality jewelry at prices you can actually afford (something that’s not always possible with fine jewelry). Think of them as Everlane’s shinier cousin. The piece above was created for Vrai & Oro’s insiders and can be purchased at this secret page on their site. The sterling silver version is just $65. It’s also available in solid gold for $415. (It’s a weighty piece. You’re definitely getting your money’s worth.) I’m planning to feature the ladies behind the brand tomorrow, but I urge you to browse the site in the meantime. I’m smitten with the gold line stud earrings and the dainty diamond baguette necklace in rose gold.
The ring was gifted to me for purposes of this post. Rest assured that the brand’s generosity does not influence my opinion of the product or its quality. Some images within this post are borrowed from Vrai & Oro’s Instagram feed.
