When you look at these Steve Madden pumps, they are sparkly, but to me, so-so. However, when I saw them on Sharon's feet, eep! Totally died. They look so good!
And a peep-toe version...

On Wednesday I had a jewellery show. As some of you know, I have a side business, A.Co Designs, in which I design and sell jewellery. I mainly sell online, in person and at home-parties. This was the first time selling in a business / public setting. Unfortunately, it wasn't as successful as I expected, but still worth it. I gave out a ton of business cards and sold a several pieces. I even got special visits from my Poppa, Dad and sister. Aww.
The jewellery below is all hand-made by me, I'll include prices underneath and if you are interested, you can email me. I also accept custom orders if you have something specific in mind.
Bangles with charms or special stones, $8

Long pendant necklaces, $18
Feather headbands, $5 / Feather hair-clips, $3
Earrings, $5

I have these pants for maybe a year. They are yoga-style pants, but super long (and for me, that's uber rare), so long that I can't really wear them for the gym because I'd be tripping over them. So, I mainly wear them around the house while lounging etc. However, I thought it would be cool if I could style them up and see if I could make that work. I loved being comfortable in these 'snack pants' (as my Dad calls 'em) yet looking pulled together in the heels and leather jacket. It also worked out well as I was able to run errands get a spray tan afterwards. I always hate putting on tight clothing after that (and it's not really recommended, either) so this fit the bill.
I am such a terrible packer. The worst. Usually I just throw half my closet into my suitcase, add six to eight more items, and call it a vacation. That usually includes items I've never worn before, items I haven't worn in forever (but I'll certainly want them for my holiday, oh yeah), all my favourites and their favourites. It's really ridiculous. This time, though, I made a pact with myself I would do better. I would plan. And plan I did. I styled all my outfits, down to the accessories and undies and packed away. Only going for four days, yet, my largest suitcase is quite full (still dealing with terrible-packer-syndrom, to a certain extent. What?! You can't expect me to be cured in one trip!). However, I think I've done a fair job... I guess time will tell. I'm heading out of town to visit my BFF and I'm so excited. What will this mini-vacation include? A little sushi, a little salsa, a little shopping and a lot of bonding. How are your packing skills?
{ yup, had to pack my fave wedges }

What you didn't see: probably taking these boots or something similar
Today is a very exciting day as I'm having another jewellery show, but instead of going to someone's house, I'm selling at a large public facility / workplace. For the months of October and November, they have a different vendor everyday, and thanks to my friend NP, I am the vendor for today! I've been working very hard on my A.Co Designs collection to really beef it up. This time, I've put a lot of focus on bangles and long necklaces with various charms and pendants (like the one above). Hopefully all will go well and in my down time, I'm sure I'll be tweeting all about it.
