You know a belle just can’t resist competition…and when it comes to a race to the elbow, she’s gonna win or die tryin’!

We found some new goodies to add to the stack and thought we’d share. 

From LeleSadoughi…(remember her from this post a few weeks ago?)


Wow!  Just wow!  Right??

Ladies, start your engines…

A Jaffe, bags, bracelets, budhagirl, Christmas, Coordinates Collection, Croghan's Jewel Box, face brush, faux fur, fur, gifts, jewelry, Lenora Dame, Longchamp, makeup brush, Mark and Graham, necklaces, nordstrom, PJ Luxe, purse, rings, shopbop, Shrimps, socks, Stila, Tory Burch

It’s coming…ready or not!  Christmas is just a few short weeks away, and those gifts aren’t going to buy themselves!  We figured we would brainstorm some kick-ass ideas for you…’cause that’s what belles are for…

We have some ideas for him, her, the techies, the hostess…and we will share them all this week as we prepare to enter the “vortex”.  First up:

Some ideas for her…

Ya know how we are always saying, “remember who you are and where you came from”??  These will help with that:

From A. Jaffe:

 

the 14k gold version

 

Choose any location in the world and A. Jaffe will engrave the map and place a diamond where “X marks the spot” for where her heart is (or should be)…(there’s a less expensive sterling version as well)

And from Coordinates Collection (above…we’ve told y’all about these before) use the coordinates of that special place to create a piece that will be all hers

For a comfy, daily-wear bauble, from Mark and Graham, this Ariel Gordon Semi-precious Stone Necklace will be sure to please

 How about polishing up that  ponytail ? Comes in gold or silver . A great stocking stuffer from Nordstrom.

And from BuDhaGirl…we are still big fans of these all-weather bangles…for a bit of mindful glamour!


From our fave belle-friend-owned jewelry store, Croghans, in Charleston, this crowning glory of a ring (above) is perfect for the princess or regal matriarch.


From Nordstrom she will love these Stila “sweet kisses”…an excellent stocking stuffer!

 

in “pebble”

For the travelin’ belle, Longchamp’s Le Pliage (also available at Nordstrom) is a classic that she will surely love!

and this lux face brush from Tory Burch will be treasured


The Lenora Dame Polar Bear or Orange Puff bag charms from Shopbop will add some whimsy to her adventures


From Shopbop, the Shrimps “Abatha” faux fur coat will keep her warm


And the feet stay warm with these Foxy Sox (also from Shopbop)

Stay tuned…there’s more to come!

baby back ribs, baked beans, bracelets, Coordinates, D'Artagnan, jewelry, ribs, The Food Charlatan

We know, we know…May is crazy busy!  If your heads are spinning like ours, you might just appreciate our little “to-do” list, just for belles!  With Memorial Day upon us and with youngsters in caps-n-gowns (or long white dresses in our teen-belle’s case), a belle could go crazy trying to get it all done!  We have some ideas.  You’re welcome.

Coordinates has the best sale ever going on now til May 24th! 30% off when you buy two bracelets.  It’s perfect for graduation gifts, and if y’all shop like we do with the whole “one for you, one for me” philosophy, you can snag a little bonus for yourself!   Hey…no judging…it works famously for us…just sayin…

Use coupon code B2THIRTY at checkout.


Via Pinterest

And just in time for Memorial Day…one of our favorite places to order gourmet foods D’Artagnan is having a 15% off sale.  Get their ribs for the grill…you will be regret free!!

Here is the recipe for their Sweet and Sticky Baby Backs. We haven’t tried it yet, but it’s on our to-do list.  Why don’t we all try it and report back…we have a feeling it’s going to be a blue ribbon winner!! Don’t fret, we will let you know exactly what we think!!

And you can’t have ribs without beans… Vegans need not read any further…

 Via The Food Charlatan

The Only Bacon Baked Beans Recipe you need…ever…unless y’all can come up with something better…which we doubt…but if you do…let us know….we love a contest!!

So it’s time to celebrate ….Happy Memorial Day !!

bracelets, savvy

We belles told you about a fab local designer, Meredith Anne Sutton, not too long ago…(click here for the post). Her designs are divine, but a T bracelet is what caught our eye…

IMG_1745IMG_1744

We had found them at one of our favorite local haunts, Savvy,…but they sold out quickly (as things worth having do!)  But…guess what?! They’re baaaack!!! Well, almost. So…before you miss out again, reserve one now!! Word on the street is that they are being shipped today.  We will Instagram the moment they arrive, but you best get on the list now, belles!

They make a great stocking stuffer…just sayin’

better than breakfast at Tiffany’s…a gift-giving bonus

bauble bar, bracelets, gift ideas, jewelry, meredith anne sutton, savvygreenville.com

Feel free to bow down before the fashionabelle find of late!!! We have discovered another delight that has us positively giddy!

Perhaps y’all have seen the latest ads for Tiffany’s T square collection…

IMG_1457

For a piddly $5000.00, you can ask Santa to put it in your stocking.

Or…you might have a better shot at getting this beauty and still leave your favorite Santa a little flush for other thoughtful gifts under the tree.

IMG_1745IMG_1744

These are made by hand from brass and are priced at…drumroll…$68.00!!! They are made by Meredith Anne Sutton, are absolutely beautiful and have a great weight and feel to them. Get them at Savvy.

But be forewarned…as these are made by hand, if you don’t act quickly, you will need to get on the wait list and put it on your wish list for valentines day. It will be worth the wait as we promise this will become a uniform piece worn everyday. Belle-worthy!!

Here’s a view of this little beauty playing nicely with her friends…

IMG_1765

And…because belles love options…we, of course, have a BaubleBar find that we must report! Check out this insta-stack…

IMG_1778

Three pieces to stack as you please, and…as with all BaubleBar finds, the price is belle-ringin’ awesome…just $58!

So there you have ’em, belles…great additions for the race to the elbow. Ready…set…go!!

arm party addition…a pearl bracelet discovery

arm party, bauble bar, bracelets, david yurman, Michael Kors, pearls

Bauble Bar has done it again with this bracelet…

IMG_1217

Old-fashioned pearls raised to a whole ‘nother level!!

Wear it stacked to the nines for a pearl-infused arm party, let it stand alone as a modern statement piece, or layer it with a gold bangle for a just touch of interest to any outfit…perfect for every occasion and ideal for travel.

Now, in case y’all are getting ready to throw a hissy fit because this particular bauble is wait-listed, just settle down and take a gander at this option…

IMG_1310

This one could do the trick as well…on its own or as yet another addition to that arm party. Belles know…the more, the merrier! Order this one now, and when the other little latecomer arrives, they can party together…or alone…belles love choices!

BONUS!!!  Bauble Bar is offering 25% off through the 16th!  Do. Not. Wait!

Here are some styling suggestions…

IMG_1311-0

the full-on race-to-the-elbow…shown here with watch from Michael Kors, a selection from David Yurman, and a gold bangle.  Holla!

For the more petite belle who can’t quite carry so much on her dainty little arm…

IMG_1313

pair it with a simple, delicate option like this one from local designer, Charme Silkiner

So give these pearls a whirl, belles…
