A gem for your gems

I’m absolutely in love with my one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry stand courtesy of my good friend @daintystyleblog.com. This gem has everything a Chic Stylistics girl would want in a jewelry stand for her gems.

My three piece stand is handcrafted using two different size white plates and a candlestick holder, hand-painted in my favourite colour – tiffany blue/robin’s egg blue. The unique design on the centre of each plate is hand-painted in a black.

It’s design and function is simplistic, yet practical. It’s modern and contemporary, yet timeless. This great find provides a chic way of displaying your beautiful jewelry pieces and accessories, while providing a quick and easy access to them.

The best part is, as a DIY project, you can make it as high as you want, and in whatever colours you desire. So, head over to @daintystyleblog.com for more details on how to make this fabulous jewelry stand.

Until next time, take care…

The power of red

Chicwish kiss me bow top in white $42.42 (reg. $49.90) , DSW Red patent leather pumps (old), H & M tweed pant $39, Kate Spade Martine Wellesley red leather shoulder tote bag $209, Ardene black with gold accent earrings $10, Banana Republic gold ringed bracelet (old), Lucien Piccard white watch (old)

This outfit it timeless and classic. It can be easily replicated by using any other type or style of white blouse, along with a tweed, or even herringbone, patterned style pants. A pair of plain black pants would do nicely, as well.

What makes the outfit stand out is the power of red added as an accent colour. It still keeps the outfit timeless and classic, and perfect for the office. It says a lot about your personality. It speaks volumes in terms of telling people that you are serious about business, but still like to have fun.

So, go ahead! Use the power of red!

It’s not too much to stand out with, but is enough to say, “I’m not like anybody else!”

Happy Shopping!

Monochromatic winter fashion mix

Winners Black wide-brimmed wool hat (old), Danier Houndstooth Gloves (old), Calvin Klein Long Wool Coat (old), Sheinside Beige Plaid Sweater with High Neck $14.33 (Reg. $30), H&M Black Pants $39.99, Nine West Booties (old)

I wore a subtle, graphic-print, high-neck sweater to break up the monochromatic black outfit. It adds just enough pattern and interest to an otherwise plain dark outfit.

Wearing a wide-brimmed wool hat is a different take on a winter hat paired with an outfit that can be comfortably worn to the office or for a casual day out.

Every piece is classic and timeless, and can be mixed and matched easily with any other winter fashion piece.
