I’m feeling pangs of envy as I look at these images. Sometimes less is more and sometimes more really is more. Maybe not everyday, but occasionally I do want to pile on all of the gems and jewels I love. Don’t you?

We’re engaged! I am still in shock, completely. My sweet (fiancé – gahhh!) Robert asked me to get hitched on Friday night. I was totally surprised. My mom was in on it and lured me out to the Fayetteville square on the guise of taking family photos. He was completely caught off guard when the square was full of people, horse-draw carriages and even camels. We started walking around and he told me I was the love of his life – to which I said “you’re the love of my life too babe!” I did not get it until he dropped to one knee. I couldn’t believe it and collapsed onto him, hugging him. We are out-of-this world excited. His family honored me with his Great-Grandmother’s ring. Many more details to come!

I’m into the whole look she has going but I’m particularly attracted to (insanely jealous of) her jewelry. Et tu?
It’s always fun to dream about what you want for Christmas in a world where your loved ones have copious amounts to spend on you. It’s also good to keep a record of what you’d like to have in case you come into some moola!
In case you were curious…these things are on my wishlist.

I love bangles. They can dress up a no-frills outfit or add intricacy to to layers. It’s a great way to mix old and new or high and low. Here is Caroline Trentini looking gorgeous in hers in the June 2009 Numero. Scroll down for DIY suggestions. PS: They make chic gifts for girlfriends!
