New silver hoop earrings

I have been looking all over for new sterling silver hoop earrings for years. None really ever tickled my fancy and if they did they were out of budget.

I wanted a mid sized silver hoop that could go with everything. When I get or am gifted hoop earrings they must go with everything and have to be pure silver or pure gold in order to withstand being on in the shower and sleeping in them. Yes i sleep with earrings, a watch and bracelet on. My mom used to have bangles on...try that ..every time she moved you could hear the light tinkling of the bangles and bracelets. That was when I was little, I think she only has on one or two bracelets now.
So my search has been going on for a long time. It's not like i don't have a pair already but they are my great grandmother's handed down to me and the latch needs to be adjusted so i don't want to loose a 4 generation heirloom. so the search became a lil more important.

well looking for a suit to interview in while being prego (yeah exactly..not happening) i decided to give up and buy just earrings to go with an outfit i had at home already. At JCPenny they had tremendous sales and i found a gorgeous pair of Sterling silver hoop earrings at a ridiculous percentage off. The original price was $35 and i got them for $10 including the tax! How insane is that!

They are simple, lightweight and just what i needed. Just goes to show that you can find great value and quality during times of fashion distress. They came in a few different sizes and they were all at really good prices.

Artfire.com Store

I have entered the world of handmade crafts!

My new store on Artfire.com is sweet! Need a logo to be done but that is not difficult. My store name is going to be A Different Shade of Me. My colors will be Raspberry and a dark purple and gold. Lovin' it! The name is inspired by all the different ways a woman can choose to change her look. Since i do that with color a lot, i wanted to incorproate that and came up with shades of color and then the light bubl inmy head became ever so bright and the name to my store was born. why the choice of "Me" instead of "you"? I wanted to make it personal. Different Shades of You is like looking at the woman and it seemed so impersonal while A Different Shade of Me make it personal, like the product could reflect any mood at any given moment. So if i want to be elegant today there would be soemthing in my store to fit that shade or persona of a client. If she wants to reveal her bold side, then there would be soemthing to reflect that shade of her peronality. It's just wonderful.

I've already got items up and am planning to create some more. I also take custom orders for those who want soemthing unique or woudl like an item in a specific color to suit thier shade or desire of the moment or occassion ( like a wedding, quinceanera, sweet 16 etc) Stop by take a look and if anything fits your shade, make a purchase.

Silver Sneakers and the First Lady

Having seen the amazingly expensive silver kicks The First Lady was wearing. I thought that it was a little bit of an odd pair of sneakers to wear.

I found these at Zappos.com that would have been too nice and comfy.

They are 64.90 and wold have been just as nice as the ugly French shoes. Don't get me wrong I adore most things from France but every once in a while even they have an off day. These Sketchers are just too cute.

That's my thoughts on that..not a big rant but i feel better.

Be Bold: Black & White

The latest issue of Glamor magazine has showing readers how to have fun with black and white. Mix patterns, chunky bangles, texture and more. I loved the shoes and they showed a lot of accessories like a clutch bag, and tights and jewelry!

According to Fashion Feng Shui, to wear white is to inspire trust. To wear black is to exude depth and strength. The combination of these colors results in an impression of confidence and power.

No wonder we love it when we see guys in a tux. James Bond..hello!

Well, I think ladies look just as great in Black and White as my cutie here James. In fact we pull it off better.
There are so many decadent choices when choosing to wear these two striking colors. I love being able to come up with an outfit of black and white that suits my mood. It can be comfortable and yes bold all at the same time.

The opportunity to add more to an urbane black and white outfit is HUGE! Go with your mood or try something daring! Self magazine says that glam costume jewelry is making a come back. Utilizing huge pieces for the neck, loading up on chunky bracelets, bold earrings and shine and texture. Take your black dress to a whole new level with accessories.

From the Earth to Beautiful Bauble: Marcasite

Marcasite is a natural mineral used in jewelry. It is a light and brittle mineral that is often mistaken for pyrite. Pyrite and marcasite have the same chemical formula, but different crystal system, thereby making them two separate minerals. In jewelry, pyrite is used as a gem while marcasite is not. It is a mined stone and when used in jewelry, marcasite is cut and shaped very much like diamonds.

For our lovely collection of Marcasite you can look for the names of these lovely pieces:

Belair
Legacy
Graceful
Sentimental










Renaissance(one of my personal favorites)

Le Cabaret


on our ring pages pages we have

Reign (gorgeous on any right hand)
Santa Cruz Ring
Antique Lace Ring
Legacy earrings
Antiquity Pin
Introduced in May 2008, we have a beautiful set called Dreamscape a beautiful necklace and earrings which has both marcasite and onyx to make a lovely art deco set that is timeless.

Beyonce on Instyle Magazine...grab her look with JBPL

Beyonce with her new Album Sasha Fierce is just unstoppable. My local grocery store's cosmetic area plays her live concert album on their ultra cool LCD flat screens. As I was looking for a new eyeliner I couldn't help but notice the InStyle Magazine with her on the cover. She always looks luminous.

I loved the chunky necklace she was wearing but my eye was very much drawn to the earrings she was wearing. They reminded me of a pair that JBPL has. Like i say..red carpet style without the red carpet prices.

OUr version of the double hooped earrings are called Enchanted. They are about 2" in length and feature Swarovski crystals in periot color. The metal finish is a beautiful bronze color color. They are simply stunning and will get you close to this cover look. The Enchanted earrings are a steal at only $29!
If you notice she's also wearing some gorgeous gold bangles. I am happy to say that bangles are sooo back. Our Fall 2008 catalog has some good choices so any woman can achieve the feel of this cover look. The slide show below has just a few of the bracelets and cuff I thought would be great to achieve the feel of the Beyonce cover look. If you want silver items some of our bracelets have a choice of gold or silver looks.

You don't have to break the bank to emulate cover looks or the looks of your fave celeb. Jewels By Park Lane has a host of beautiful baubles and gams to help you stay on budget and cause a sensation of your own.

Purple in all it's splendor!

Ah, my favorite color is the rage for fall. PURPLE! The rich color of royalty and the beautiful color of grapes. It can be seen in everything this season from head to toe.

New York Fashion week was blooming with the seductive hue, from eggplant to plum this color is number one!
Perusing fashion magazines, I've seen purple tights on a model with a basic black dress and shoes. The purple was gorgeous. The other items that stood out in piece were her accessories all clad in gold accessory which matched the buckles in her shoes. The look was striking and so do able for the everyday woman.

I found a beautiful Top at JCPenny now marked down to the super-affordable price of $14.99. It comes in the striking Grape color and i just had to list it. It's by Worthington and it made me think of one of the characters from the Jane Austen Book club movie, Prudie Drummond play by Emily Blunt who always wore chic clothing, because she was a french teacher and followed Coco Chanel to the letter rebelling from her hippy dippy mom.

To go with that I would also pair the blouse with a sumptuous pair of purple shoes. Carlos Santana always seems to delight my fancy when it comes to a beautiful and sexy shoe. The shoe is called Bliss. At a bit of a cost for shoes on sale at zappos.com for $98.10, these shoes have personality and still steep of traditional Mary Janes with the novelty of he double straps and the sexy attitude of the croco pattern and stacked platform.

What's left when you have a great basic skirt in grey or black or even a basic pant to make it more like Katherine Hepburn? Accessories!

For this classic look i would add the beauty of the Legend bracelet which comes in silver or gold tone and is Tiffany inspired bracelet sure to garner attention with out the loss in the pocketbook @ a retail value of $59 this bracelet is a save compared to the price of it's designer counterpart. It can also go home with you for $12 when taking advantage of the Customer purchase program.









For something a little more full i would wear the Volume Bracelet with 9 connected bangles for that wonderful clinking sound every time the arm moves and the Unite Ring to compliment the layered look of the bangles.













Also offered in the catalog which are some of my favorite pieces:

The Signature set in amethyst, here is a picture of the ring. It is a truly stunning set. with a matching pendant, and stunning bracelet.

Others of my favorites in purple are: The Rock On set:

Gorgeous and huge amethyst on strands of glass beads and amethyst chip beads. Great for casual wear and the everyday.

There are many more beautiful items to help you splash into purple for this season. I can help you get those items and your most expensive ones for $12. Host a party and you can get them for FREE and at half price! Look great, save money and enjoy the decadent flair of purple for this season!

Shoes....Glorious Shoes

My second fashion love...the other piece that makes my outfit most days....SHOES!

There are so many good looking shoes happening this fall season. My fave happens to be the heeled oxford. It has so many different looks but ultimately... the sexy librarian look is what I'm going for in this particular shoe.

I found these:

Priced at $49.00

They are cute and will look good with a suit, skirt, or jeans. T.U.K online is where these lovely shoes can be found. Along with other interesting shoes to add personality to your wardrobe. With these i could see pairing them with the Ignite Bracelet which is classic yet has a chunky modern feel to it.

The hypnotic set has these really cool faceted glass beads which just pick up the light.

What a way to blend the modern with the classic. Don't forget about a watch to keep yourself fashionably on time or just fashionably late: The Nightmoves Watch is a show stopper even while you have only five minutes to get to work and work is 15 minutes away.

Add some color to your chic outfit complimented by heeled oxfords with the Pink Signature Bracelet part of the Signature set.

The signature set also comes in Jet, Ruby, Amethyst, and Topaz colors to suit variety of color choices for the day, evening or even for the moment. These dazzling sets are just gorgeous in person and garner so many compliments when i wear the set in public. women stop me to compliment me on these beautiful baubles.
