Jewelry Obession

I've never been a big jewelry girl. I usually wear a necklace, my wedding rings and my clic-H Hermes bracelet every so often. But lately, I have been obsessing and adding to my fashion jewelry collection. I have found some really great pieces that can range from $40 - $400. Here are a few I have been adding to my collection lately.

Etsy

Happy 33 to me!


This weekend we celebrated my 23rd 33rd birthday! Ever since my 30th, I decided no more big parties, nothing crazy, just a lot of ME time and family time too. The night before we went out to dinner here. The day of I had an amazing spa at Elizabeth Arden, brunch at Serafina, a manicure and a blow out. All in order to get ready for a wedding of two people I introduced years ago. Its amazing to actually know both the bride and groom and feel responsible for them falling in love. The groom introduced me to his whole family as the girl who set them up and the birthday girl! I wore this amazing dress, my favorite shoes and bag and a gorgeous necklace. The next day we had brunch with my in laws (it was my mother in law's birthday the next day!) at The Inn at Pound Ridge, delish! I wore my favorite AG jeans, another great necklace and my new birthday Gucci ballet flats! 

Happy birthday to me!

It's All In the Details....

I thought I would take the time to post a little bit about me...... the real me! Not the mommy me, event planner me, wife me, homemaker me, just me..... 

Here are 5 things you may or may not know, please sure 5 with me! 

1. I am super old fashioned. I still write checks, mail letters and prefer paper invites not e-ones. I rent books from the library, keep all my birthday cards people gave me and write in diaries and planners! 

2. I return a lot ! It takes me forever to settle on a purchase (especially a big ticket one) so I usually buy, return, buy again, try on and return again until I can reach happy shopping nirvana and keep it. 

3. I make lists. LOTS OF LISTS. I have one next to my desk at all times. If I don't write things down sometimes I forget, everything. 

4. I get pretty obsessive. Once I like something I usually obsess about it and then repeat often. I am still eating my favorite snacks daily, spinning to my favorite Soul Cycle teachers, buying my favorite clothing items when they wear and repeating my favorite songs when I run over and over again! (Ask my husband, all I do is obsess) 

5. I get very nervous about losing things. Whether its people, items of mine, my baby boy, my phone and especially photos. I am crazy about my photos. I save them on discs, USBs, external drives, shutterfly and I print them and put them in photo books. You can't be too careful if your computer crashes!
