It’s that time of year again, belles!  Those babies are graduating (they’re barely out of nappies…right?!) and it’s time to reward their amazing accomplishments, celebrate their achievements and send them on their merry way.  Stumped??  Well…we have some India-inspired ideas for you…


The Crown Jewels jewelry case…to let her know what a precious gem she is (shown with the Shuffle and Deal wallet and the Free Spirit necklaces…may she always be free!)


The Firefly will let her shine, shine, shine (and keep the necessities on hand)!


The Flat Stanley pouch…don’t let her forget her inner child!


The Riviera Tote will come in handy for the girl on-the-go (in palm, poppy and rapeseed yellow)


The Riviera Wash Bag in poppy and palm (also available in rapeseed yellow)…because we want her to always be prepared for an adventure 


For her extended excursions…maybe she needs the whole kit-n-kaboodle with the Riviera Duffle, the Baby Riviera and the wash bag…’cause bein’ a bag lady ain’t a bad thing! (Shown in rapeseed yellow, also available in poppy and palm)

The Biscayne Bay bag will prove to be an essential for move-in day and beyond…while the Baby Biscayne keeps the smaller goodies all nice-n-tidy


The Gypsy Dancer earring…may she always remember to dance!


The Winning Streak necklace…because her winning streak has just begun

But no need to stop there…check out the jewelry and Indie tokens yourself.  Ya never know what treasures you might find!!

Wrap it up, belles!

hoppin’ on the Hicks train for Easter…

alphabet, bags, earrings, fragrance, gold, hoops, India Hicks, Island Style, jewelry, jewelry box, Margaret Hungerford, necklace, room spray, studs, tassel, treasure box

Time to prepare those baskets, belles!  Yep, Easter is just a little over a week away, so we thought you might need some ideas.  Enter our dear belle friend, Margaret and her India Hicks wares!

We have fallen in love with some of style-maven Hicks’ creations.  Here are just a few that might tickle your fancy as well…

Let us walk you through this bevy of beauties…

The ears have it…


Left to right:  The Letitia Hoop is an update to an old classic…which every belle must have in her repertoire.  The Disco Valante is a danglin’ stunner that will shine like a disco ball (perfect when a belle wants to grab some attention).  And for the “edgy-belle”…the Pyramid Stud says “yea, I’m all that…and more”


There’s a Junkanoo Tassel to suit all styles and tastes.  Ya might need one in every color…’cause you never know what mood might strike.  Just sayin’


Every belle needs a Treasure Box, and this one bumps it up just a bit, “island style”.  And speaking of…Island Style…what belle doesn’t love flipping through a beautiful hardcover for a few “take me away” moments in a room scented with India’s Casuarina Room Spray? (we can smell the beach now!)


And let’s talk about the gold standard!!  The Gold Crackle Firefly is perfect for keeping up with all of your little treasures while the Gold Crackle Insider handles the bigger haul with ease…in enviable style, of course.  And finally…the gold vermeil Legacy Letter collection is the perfect little adornment that quietly says “this is who I am…and I like it”.  Beautifully arranged letters from A-Z (well almost…sorry Quinn and Ursula) dangle from a dainty adjustable-length chain…just right for all ages, sizes & styles.  Our fave would be the AAAA of course!

Hop to it, belles!

For tall-drink-of-water-belle growing up in California, every bed had an electric blanket. So…for Christmas last year, everyone got one for their bed. Now this tip on how to clean an electric blanket will come in handy!


Via Amazon…this is the blanket we got and love!

Belles can be cookie monsters…

And speaking of sweet tooth options…

Can’t you just taste it now?!

And on the savory side…we love Taco Bell!  And now for many more reasons!! 

No more being ashamed of this taco addiction!

One word: Obsessed…

baubles for belles…a spend or save moment

bauble bar, earrings

As you know, we have an on-going obsession with de-lovely Rebecca de Ravenel earbobs. Just take a gander at our most recent purchase…


…and at our previous posts here and here.  Take a moment to swoon.  

However, we do realize that not every belle is up for the de Ravenel splurge, and that, of course, belles do love a bargain!

What a delight to our pocketbooks when one belle-neighbor leaned over the fence to tell us about the ALMOST EXACT  dangles for our earring collection. 

Available in several colors… 


for the blushing belle

for the belle who loves a pop of color


and for the grey-cious belle…

Ya might need them all!!

Shop til you drop!!

bracelet, earrings, jewelry, Monica Vinader, necklace, nordstrom, ring

We have heard the buzz surrounding the Monica Vinader line of jewelry for a while, but we are beginning to hear more and more!  The British designer has become quite the go-to for the Duchess of Cambridge and other celebs, giving her a bit of well-placed publicity…and causing us to take notice!

Some of our faves…


1 – the “Riva Kite” diamond drop earring

2 – the “Riva” diamond hoop ring

3 – the “Stellar” blue diamond/rose gold detachable ear jacket

4 – the “Siren” drop earring

5 – the “Baja” pave diamond bracelet

And bonus…prices range from $160 to about $1500 tops…so the entire line is within reason for a “fashionabelle” touch


The Duchess in Siren drop earrings in Green Onyx

Bling like a princess, belles!

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)
