Just because...

I was recently the recipient of a stunning James & Lily custom ring.  No, the piece was not a Valentine's Day gift.  Instead, it was simply a gift of love from my incredibly amazing husband.  I am one lucky girl!    

Ever since I can remember, I have had a love affair with sapphires.  It is my birthstone, the first gift my husband ever gave me, and it is just a gorgeous gemstone.  You can only imagine my surprise and total delight when I unwrapped my James & Lily box to find this breathtaking 2 ct. oval sapphire set in a diamond halo and a triple diamond shank. 

James & Lily worked with my husband to design the ring, choose the sapphire, and even was kind enough to send pictures and invite him to view the ring during the entire production process.  Now that is collaboration!  Below are some really neat images of the piece during the production process!

He went with the bottom Sapphire!

The diamonds have been set!

The ring is absolutely perfect.   It is my first piece of custom jewelry, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic with how it turned out!  A huge thanks to Kelly, and my husband, for making this incredible piece of jewelry!

Weekly Fashion Update with Jackie!

Happy Monday!

Always in fashion – black.  It’s chic and polished.  Being someone who loves colors and patterns, the black look isn’t my go-to.  But that doesn’t mean we can’t play every now and then! 

This sweater inspired the outfit.  I originally wanted it in grey with black sleeves, but they were sold out.  As luck would have it, the black is even better.  It looks high end and so much better than I ever imagined.  The tighter leather sleeves balance out the super slouchy sweater giving it shape.  And the mixing of materials gives it more depth.  The sweater in black was just begging to be paired with skinny black jeans and black shoes.  Here it’s paired with combat boots, but a heeled boot would look equally amazing. 

Best to keep accessories to a minimum here. The Chaos ring is a perfect accent piece with the rutilated quartz complimenting the black ensemble.

These Truth earrings are a splendid and simple touch.

A winter silhouette can be a bit monotonous, so the hunt is on for some looks to change it up while still keeping warm.  All these ASOS picks are under $100 so we can keep our wallets as chunky as our sweaters! 

Which sweater is your favorite?
