What I Wore Wednesday: JoJo Loves You

Emerald Mini Party Bling Earrings
 
Today I am bringing you a lovely and locally started company JoJo Loves You.


After graduating college in 2002, JoJo had her degree in jewelry design in one hand and the
handle of her pink suitcase chock full of her designs in the other.


She began sharing pieces with friends and family first before approaching 
local businesses one by one to see if they would be open to carrying them. 


JoJo's persistence paid off as her creations are now sold in over 100 stores across the country however each piece is still handcrafted in her studio nestled in our lovely South End.





Her little assistant Cedric often lends a hand paw (along with multiple assistants, interns & sales associates!)


If you stop by her store in Brookline, you will see that very same pink suitcase in the window display of her showroom. 
 

JoJo has never forgotten the hard work it took to get where she is today.





JoJo Loves You is hosting their annual Bling Sale so you can indulge in 
a few pretty things for yourself sans the guilt!



Above are the Mini Party Bling Earrings in Emerald that I 
have, love and receive compliments on all the time!

 
 
 
 
 JoJo is on Facebook, Twitter & Pinterest!
 There are so many gorgeous blings to choose from.
 
 
 
 
 


Which style is your favorite!?
 
 
 
 
 
I paired my blings with these two recent outfits!

FTC  Disclosure: I received the above pictured earrings at no cost 
however all shared opinions are my own.

The Dating Diaries



First and foremost...

 I cannot say I was completely shocked at the obvious enjoyment people got 
from the first post of this new series.

Best of all, there were no critiques regarding the way I posted the material, 
though I would have welcomed any and all. 

I am not posting these stories to be mean or ridicule anyone, just to 
make light of a situation that thankfully ended somewhat pleasantly.

This post is about a man I began dating (I use that term loosely because I later found out he had been "dating" two other ladies at the same time) after being charmed by his astonishingly good looks and Midwestern charm.

Our first date went swimmingly (do you hate when people use that word? 
I wondered if it would seem annoying and just decided to keep it.) 

We had been talking for a bit and after just a few phone calls knew there was some serious chemistry between us and made a date almost immediately.

Scenes from My Weekend



 Mint inverted french manicure. A 2 hour DIY because the only time
I paint my nails is during commercials (then let them dry while I watch the show.)
It works because my nails dry completely (as long as I begin painting during the first half.)
 
 
 
 
  I have lost about three pounds which is nice and fairly simple when I make 
a concerted effort, eating less/better and making a bit of time to workout.
Even if I am super tired I practice yoga.
