emitate.: Fighting the Winter Blues with earrings.

{The color is vibrant and fresh. The wire wrapping around the stones gives these earrings an unexpected restrained feeling. They are clever but not over thought.}

Winter Blues be gone! I am so tired of feeling blah. I am DETERMINED to shake this lazy, pity party mood.

What do you do when you can't fit your pregnant belly in to any of your cute clothes? Accessorize.

{I am not crazy about the heart shape but I love the colors and the way the beads fill the gold borders. The color gives the earring movement.}

Sean bought me some beautiful earrings from an art gallery in Boston. I wore them for the first time to his birthday dinner last weekend and they are magical. I didn't wear anything special....I just put the earrings on and I felt better than I had in months. So, in anticipation of a rough day taking Brady to a weekly function he has not been enjoying, I put the earrings on. Today wasn't that bad. There are lots of reasons why but my earrings let me start my day off with a little extra pep in my step.

{I love brushed finishes on beads. I also like the graduated size of the beads.}

{I have been enjoying all types of blue + green color combo. It is so peaceful. The vintage costume jewelry look has taken me a while to warm up to but I really like it here.}

{Ay yiyi! I couldn't choose a favorite color. Sometimes earrings convey too much try in the design. You have such a small space to make an impact and sometimes you can just sense frustration with proportion and color. These earrings make such a dramatic statement with two simple shapes and a simple pattern.}

{I am not sure I can put into words what I like about these. They look like they are being blown upwards. They are kind of gross looking and I like that.}
