Baroni Jewelry Custom Necklace Giveaway

Baroni Designs creates beautiful and intricate jewelry, and I'm fortunate enough to have gotten to customize my own necklace as well as a bar bracelet, and I will be giving TWO lucky winners their choice of a Baroni chain and two charms as apart of FFF's 4-Year Blog Anniversary giveaway series.

Founded by artist and designer Sarah Baroni in 1991, Baroni has been dedicated to and pouring her passion into creating jewelry designs that reflect the human spirit, intellect and body; and doing so with a 'green' business in order to practice sustainability to support her local community and the planet. I haven't added a charm necklace to collection for awhile and wanted to make my newest addition of Baroni charms extra special. I wanted the charms to be a daily reminder to keep being me, my authentic self; to follow my dreams; and work hard. Upon opening the package, I fell in love with the impeccable presentation and care of my jewelry pieces. After peeling away the metallic silver wrapping paper and bubble wrap which protected my jewelry, I found that each piece was individually wrapped in either a beautiful cloth envelope or jewelry box and sealed in a poly bag with a tarnish strip. Here are the pieces I selected:

Personalized Bar Bracelet in gold with customization 'my heart' text
Saturn Chain (24k Gold Plated) 22-24"
Petite Gold Initial in letter 'A'
Petite Silver Initial in Letter 'S'
Dual Tone Heart Charm
Large Personalized Square in gold with customization 'AMANDA' text
Large Personalized Circle in silver with customization 'dreamer' text
Long Personalized Rectangle in gold with customization 'do work' text

For a limited time, use code blogsave20 and receive 20$ off your Baroni purchase!

Sudara's Soyamma Full Punjammies for Spring 2015

I really liked Sudara's Soyamma Full Punjammies because of the bold print, neutral colors, and cinched waistline which has a beaded tie detail (Note: in some of the photos the pants appear to be green due to the editing, but you can click on the shop-pable link to see a more accurate view of the colors). Check out and shop the rest of the Spring 2015 Collection.

Blue Ombre in Motion

My blue ombre has been such a hit that I wanted to capture images of it in motion. Photographer Shawna of Bleudog Fotography and I got together and had some fun shaking out my hair and snapping photos! Want to see how I had my hair dyed blue? Click here to see hairstylist Casie work her magic.

Printed Pants & Pink Lips

I shot with Shawna from Bleudog Fotography a couple weeks ago and was excited to rock my then new, blue hair and pieces from Triple Thread OC and Constance Gold. We found this beautiful gate on one of the sides of the Mission San Juan Capistrano, and behind the gate were pops of a deep pink hue from the bougainvillea trees, which worked perfectly with my neutral outfit and pink lips. I absolutely love the fit and the print of the pants, and I tucked in my soft tank (which has a rad back detail) into the pants. I dressed the look up with a pair of Steve Madden heels, and gave it my touch with some fringe from my Constance Gold backpack. Happy Friday! Got any plans this weekend? I'll be meeting with friend Renee Rogers then traveling to LA for a wedding, and heading back up to LA on Saturday morning for a bff brunch and shopping at the flower mart, follow my social media for updates: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook
