Put A Ring On It!

Did I really title this post with the chorus from the stupidest and most annoying song of 2008? Yes, I did. Please forgive me. Anyway, I love big cocktail rings and I usually wear one everyday. Although I have very small hands, I like a bold ring that screams "LOOK AT ME!!!!!"

Whenever I'm shopping, I take time to peruse the rings and end up buying a few. I once spent $60+ at Filene's Basement when I saw a table full of accessories marked down 70%. I think I bought nine rings that day. A stylish lady can never have too many cocktail rings, they add a little something to your look and can be quite the conversation starter.

Here's a few fun rings I found (I really like the animal styles):

Melodies by MJB

The Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige is launching her much anticipated Melodies by MJB sunglass collection.

My favorite from the collection: Red Carpet in Brown/Horn Laminate

Melodies by MJB has four very haute designs with twenty color options, the MJ's, Incognito, Red Carpet, and Showtime. With a moderate price point, ranging from $165 to $225, I think Mary J. Blige is on the right track with her premium sunglasses collection.

If you're in the Chicago area, be sure to stop by Nordstrom on Monday, October 18th, Mary J. Blige will be there to officially launch Melodies! Click here to RSVP

Which Melodies by MJB strike your fancy? I hope Santa slips a pair of the Red Carpets in my Christmas stocking - I've been really good this year ;)

Stella & Dot's Passport to Style

ast Thursday I went to Stella & Dot's Passport to Style Event at the very hip Dana Hotel. I love jewelry so this event had my name written all over it.

The event was a great introduction to Stella & Dot and I had the opportunity to chat with Liz Opie, a Stella & Dot Stylist based right here in Chicago. Bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and rings from Stella & Dot's latest collection were on display. The Palm Beach and Sayulita Mexico collections were my favorites which I believe is because I am long overdue for a vacation, lol!

Here are some of the pieces I was drooling over:

Pretty huh?
