We’ve sported the chandelier, the tassel, the bon-bon…now it’s time to embrace chunky gold for the ears!
Here are just a few picks from Laura Lombardi at Net-a-Porter to get ya started…
The Mini Porta
The Link
And the Onda …with a removable silver-tone bonus!!
All of the earrings are hollowed out gold-tone brass so that they are lightweight and easy to wear all day! And at $75-$200…their price-per-wear is totally belle-ringin’!!

We are always on the hunt for a great lotion and have tried at least a bazillion.
We were playing in a little round robin recently and a belle friend started regaling us about the benefits of this body lotion. Despite being super creamy, it absorbs beautifully, and the aroma is divine…but it has an added perk. It actually minimizes any dimples you might have for a few hours. Score! We have become addicted to this wonderful elixir also known as Brazilian Bum Bum Cream .

We also fell in love with another product from Sol de Janeiro . This bronzing oil is amazing, and after two minutes is completely transfer free! It gives the perfect amount of sheen and shimmer to enhance your legs and blur any flaws.

So let’s all go Brazilian….just sayin’

We were perusing the internet, looking for a great new dip…and boy did we find one! It has such great flavor and takes no time to put together. It was so delicious that we made it twice in one week for different occasions and it was met with great accolades!
(We even used the last remaining bit of it and ate it with some grilled chicken…versatility’s always a good thing)
We found it on the website The Mediterranean Dish , and are so happy we did!
Last-minute Mediterranean Feta Dip
8-10 ounces feta cheese crumbled
3 ounces cream cheese softened
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 english cucumber chopped
1 jalapeño chopped
3/4 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
10 fresh basil leaves torn
Combine the cheese, Olive oil and honey in a mixing bowl and mix until creamy. Add remaining ingredients and transfer to serving dish. This can also be prepared in advance and will keep refrigerated for several days.
We served it with pita chips and sliced cucumber.
Let us know what you think!

We’ve taken to burning them en-masse so that the aroma floods the home in no time flat…so the 4-at-a-time deal really rings our belle!!
Get the 4-pack here and the single here at Amazon
PS…this makes a great gift, too. Just sayin’

We love it when a belle or two drop in for a visit…or being invited to a last minute get together. Impromptu moments require just a few tricks up your sleeve so you’ll always have a lil something to put out or take along.
This delicious hors d’oeuvres is one we’d forgotten about and are so glad we rediscovered it in our repertoire of easy, tasty recipes. We just brought it along to a spontaneous get together and it was a great hit!
The best part is it can be made with ingredients that you likely will have or can keep for quite some time in your larder.
We also like the fact that it’s easy pick up food, no muss no fuss!
Apricot goat cheese delight
Ingredients:
Dried apricots
Goat cheese
Marcona almonds (preferably salted)
Honey
Fresh thyme (optional)
Take out your platter and lay out your apricots. Top with a dollop of goat cheese. Place an almond on each apricot. Drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with thyme if desired .
So delicious….just sayin
Bon appétit, belles!!
