We shared our recent obsession with Rebecca de Ravenel earrings a few weeks ago (remember?). Well…there is a new reason to be ALL about these belle-ringin’ bobs!
For the remainder of September (JUST THIS MONTH), we can all customize our own set, belles!!! Do you know what this means?? Whatever color combination might tickle your fancy can be yours with just a few little clicks!!
We did some playin’ around…
We need help, please! Such a tough decision to make!! Input welcome and appreciated. (And let us know if you design your own)

We all know a tan makes you look thinner and masks the dreaded cellulite. But now that summer is becoming a distant memory, we need a way to hold onto that healthy glow!
While we still love you, St Tropez Everyday, we’ve discovered a new (to us) sunless tanner that works beautifully, isn’t orangey, and lasts for a good 7 days. While we don’t love the smell as you put it on, we soon forget the scent because it’s just that good!
Available via Amazon
Go glow, belles!

basil, feta, Peach, recipe, salad, summer, watermelon, watermelon peach salad
We’ve seen versions of watermelon/feta salads and have tried many over the years, but this one creation over Labor Day weekend really rang some belles!
Using sweet end-of-summer peaches along with the watermelon, feta and basil, we took this salad to a new level of belleiciousness…
Belle-ringin’ Watermelon Peach Salad
4 cups watermelon chunks
2 cups sliced peaches
3/4 c basil, chiffonade
1 c crumbled feta
2 T lime juice
2 T white balsamic vinegar
2-3 T c olive oil
1/2 t kosher salt
Place vinegar and lime juice in small bowl. Slowly drizzle olive oil into bowl, whisking to incorporate. Add salt, whisk. Set vinaigrette to side.
Chiffonade basil
Place watermelon and peaches in a large salad bowl.
Top with feta and basil. When ready to serve, toss with vinaigrette.
Enjoy the belleiciousness!!
