APHRODITE IN DIAMONDS

Aphrodite the Greek Goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation. So beautiful that Zues married her to the lame God Hephaestus to stop the wars brewing over whom would marry her. Imagine how Hephaestus felt when he was awarded the hand of the Aphrodite, the glow in his eyes. Inspired by his new bride you can picture him in his smithy working surrounded by the tools of war he made for the gods creating something new. Something beautiful. A gift of jewels for Aphrodite. Vendome captured the beauty of the Goddess in their set Aphrodite, a versatile two part necklace that can be worn together or separately. Aphrodite is available in diamonds(pictured) or bronze and is a complete set with earrings, bracelet, and a beautiful ring. Make sure to stop by Vendome soon they have placed out an opening gift (not shown) for both men and women.

I stood in the middle of Vendome talking with the designer for a very long time. The idea for this blog was already forming and I had my heart set on wearing Miamai. I flipped through the gowns one by one as both Des and Shi put in their two cents on my choices. I just new Moni had made the perfect dress for this set when I came across Lilli, an essential little black dress. Now I am going to point out that this is something every woman should have in her wardrobe. If you have not bought yourself a little black dress yet head right to Miamai and get one. I finished off my look with a pair of Similars new Savona Heels and an updo from Elikatira.

AUTUMNS BEAUTY

It is barely September but in the mountains the leaves are already starting to show their true colors. Many live their entire life not realizing that the green color of the leaves is the chlorophyll and that the only time we see the true beauty, their individuality, is in the fall. I love the seasons as the year rolls along, because each is a reflection of the cycle of life. It is my firm belief that as we age and enter our own autumn we like the trees, show how amazing and beautiful we are.

One of the trends for this fall is shift dresses and tunics. I love how the Maitreya Xarra Tunic is simple in its design yet extremely stylish with the belt pulling it in at the hips. Try wearing it with leggings, tights, or jeans just make the effort to find yourself a great pair of knee high boots to wear it with. Luckily Maitreya already has you covered with the Mesh Radical Boots.
