Beautiful Gems {Regina Pierallini Giveaway - Closed}

I have another amazing giveaway for you guys today! Regina Pierallini is a jewelry designer specializing in Italian hand-made gems. They have a vintage feel, but with a modern twist. I first read about her line on Veronika's blog. I believe I even entered one of her giveaways! What great luck that Regina saw my own blog, and graciously sent over her cascading clover necklace for me to feature. I can't begin to express how gorgeous this piece is in person. It has a nice weight to it, and the quality feels impeccable. I absolutely love it! What a wonderful piece to dress up an otherwise simple outfit, like I have done here.

The best part? You can enter to win one of two Regina Pierallini gems:

Velveteen

 

 

Top - Anthro (old), Jeans - Loft modern skinny, Pumps - American Rag via Macy's, Bag - JCP

 

Watch - Fossil Stella, Bracelets - Oia Jules

 

 

I normally am not the girl who builds an outfit from the ground up. I love shoes, don't get me wrong, but I don't love them as much as I love a great bag or pretty jewelry. I do however base an outfit around one special piece though, and these velveteen pumps in a gorgeous peacock blue were special enough to feature. I think the texture is perfect for the holiday season. I love velvet! So rich looking, and definitely a little retro. I kept the rest of the outfit simple and reached for favorites - jeans and a pretty top. My new aurora borealis crystal bracelet courtesy of Oia Jules (thank you so much Elizabeth!) added a little sparkle.

Products I'm Loving

 I feel like it's been such a long time since I last featured a few products that I can't put down. It's one thing to show you what I've been buying lately. The true test comes from what I'm using on a daily basis.

This Fall, I've been all about berry toned blush with a satin finish. I love coral when I'm tanned, but once my color fades, I like a beautiful berry pop right onto the apples of my cheeks. Nothing perks up my complexion more. These are surprisingly easy to wear. They can go on sheer, or packed on! I like somewhere in between. The MAC shades are no longer available, but the LORAC blush is beautiful. There are so many pretty berries out on the market, I'm sure you can find the perfect one for you.

This Chanel quad in Prelude is a gift from my best girl. I'm loving a plum smokey eye, and this lets you go light and natural, or dark and sultry. All four shades are incredibly flattering. I like to use my Sephora smudge brush in number 29 to line my eyes in the darkest shade. It lasts all day.

What is this flourescent pink blob you may ask? It's called a tangle teezer! Apparently it's very popular in the U.K. I got mine at Sally's Beauty and I've been using it every single day since. It's the perfect shape for the palm of your hand, and it glides along the hair easily to comb out tangles - minus the pain.



These three scented candles from Bath & Body Works make me so happy. I light them primarily at night after a long day. The Vanilla Bean Noel has been my favorite for years now.

What products are you loving this Fall?

Cloudy Day

Trench (in petite size) - Loft, Skirt - Forever 21 (old) (similar here),  Lace blouse (underneath) - Zara (pretty option), Pumps - Nine West, Scarf - Target (similar), Bag - Chanel, Ring - YSL (Love this color), Lips - MAC Viva Glam Cyndi

This is my favorite outfit in my closet. Possibly my favorite outfit ever. As soon as I put on my new LOFT trench coat, this magical feeling came over me. You know the one. The feeling we all search for when we go shopping for that one special piece that will transform our wardobes and make us feel like queens. That feeling. The beauty of clothing is in the way certain items makes us feel. We may look like the best version of ourselves in it, but it transcends appearance. It alters our mood, and that my friends, is extremely powerful. So yes, fashion is frivolous. But there is some power in it too. Even on a windy, cold, and cloudy day, I floated on cloud nine :)
