Inspired By My COACH: purse

In my birthday blog, I mentioned my new COACH purse, my first ever COACH purse. The color is brilliant and although a little darker than "coral" I like to call it coral.


Antique Brass Chain
I had ordered 50 feet of antique brass chain at Caravan Beads. I walked out of the store with the spool of chain and my purse. When I ordered it, I had high hopes for its use. When I picked it up, I thought, "What was I thinking? Why did I order SO MUCH?!" However, as I was walking to my car, purse under arm and spool in hand, the colors looked amazing together. Mission: find coral beads!


The Beadin' Path
What better place to look? and use my birthday gift cards? I spent over an hour looking at the same 4 strands of beads and trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to do with them. What exactly DID I do with them?

Some more things to come
So I clearly need to make earrings to match all of these necklaces, but here are some earrings that would also match perfectly with them. Oh and these would look great, too! Something I'm excited about...my owl. I have high hopes for this little guy!

Is he not SO cute and innocent?!

Show Me Your Guns: right to bear arms

Whether you are for or against the right to bear arms, this is one gun you will absolutely support wearing.

Turquoise and Gunmetal
The combination of these two colors is perfect for the warm weather seasons we hope are just around the corner, well paired with a white tank and a tan. You don't have a tan? Not warm enough for a tank? No problem! Show off your pasty white skin and throw on an open front cardigan.

Coral and Gunmetal
Another beautiful color combination: coral and gunmetal. This necklace is light-weight and comfortable. Just think: beaches, sunshine, and...sand stuck in all crevices of your body. I can not wait to dig my toes into the beach and yell at seagulls at Pine Point.

What about Valentine's Day?
What about it? Anything will do. From hearts, to red, to anything in between. Women love jewelry. Observe. Take notice. And find something stunning. Need some help?
What are YOU doing for the day that is both adored and despised all around the world?
