My Weekly Swoon - Glitter & Gold Nails

I heart the glitter and gold french manicure!  I'm on my way to the nail salon to recreate this look to rock for the rest of the week.  It's so cool how we can now express ourselves with fun nail designs and the current selection of nail lacquer colors are out of this world! Tell us, is there a particular nail design or lacquer color/brand you've been dying to try?  Are you inspired by pretty nails? 

I will post a picture of my manicure shortly! xo

The Daily Swoon • Shoe Woo!

I scored these fabulous ceramic shoes which are earring/ring holders from Family Dollar yesterday.  I immediately fell in love with the detailing on the side of these sparkly pumps and consider them perfectly practical.  Two of my favorite cocktail rings now serve as shoe clips to add character and my grandmother gave me the earrings.  How do you display your favorite pieces?

The Daily Swoon • Dazzle Me Darlin'

There's something exciting about the month of December and all the holiday events associated with it.  Ladies, when shopping for investment pieces to brighten up your social wardrobe, remember to have fun with your basic pieces (such as a "LBD") and pair with festive pumps, a stylish handbag or clutch, a classic embellished blazer or eye popping accessories.

Below are a few of my favorite dazzling holiday pieces and yes, even the Converse {my unofficial dancing shoes} will get some play at an upcoming holiday fete.  Don't forget "less is more," as there will be tons of parties to wear all your fashionable finds.

Tis' the Season to Sparkle!

The Daily Swoon ● Glove Passion

We are a sucker for girly girl accessories and these tea-stained crochet gloves compliments of BHLDN are a cross between shabby chic and southern charm.  The beaded and sequined grosgrain bows on the wrist really add a demure touch and would instantly change the look of any blushing Bride's attire. 

Styling Note: 
Before entertaining wearing gloves on your special day, consider the fabric, style and length of your gown to ensure that your gloves compliment your entire look. 

The Daily Swoon ● Viva La Etsy!

Feminine, Modern, Sophisticated . . . 

There are hundreds of reasons why we love Etsy and one of them is because we can always find unique bridal accessories for our clients.  These handmade bridal sashes compliments of DENIZ03 are so timeless.  The exquisitely designed fabric flowers and vintage inspired pearl and diamond brooches will truly make an enchanting statement on any Bride’s big day.

Happy Wedding Wednesday!
