When Jewels and Fancy Dresses Collide

Finally getting to share some of the AMAZING photos by Jim Bob!  This was such a fun shoot with a lot of shiny, fancy jewels by Marianna Harutunian out of Los Angeles. The beautiful clothing was designed by Natalyia Meyer, a Kansas City Fashion Designer and owner of the clothing store Lucia's Sarto. Jim Bob is so fun to work with...between his music and jokes, I don't know what I like best!! Ok, so maybe it was the photos he captured!

Gold Life, New Life

I have to admit, I am obsessed with gold...gold, gold, gold!  But for this article I want to talk jewelry, specifically earrings and an amazing gold bar necklace.  And don't think I won't mix gold and silver together, it happens almost daily in my life. Finding unique jewelry and wearing personalizing pieces is something I love to do!  Did I mention I love shopping local too? If you follow me on Instagram @shonameyer, you will see I am a lover of all things Kansas City!

Let's talk earrings...leather, lightweight, stylish, and fabulous!  I was introduced to Nickel and Suede this past spring when I attending a local blogging event.  The owner was a speaker at the conference and I was fortunate enough to meet and have lunch with her.  She is the sweetest lady you will ever meet and her earrings and cuffs are amazing!  I just purchased this stunning #gold pair from a recent pop-up shop at Made In KC, I am obsessed with them! Find Nickel and Suede on IG @nickelandsuede

James Michelle, if you haven't seen her pieces, you must do so now!  I ordered a personalized gold bar necklace and it never leaves my neck.  Recently I have been led in new directions, some easier than others, but all leading to new paths in life and a new start.  For me, this necklace represents my life, a new direction, and that direction leads me to the sea. The one place I can go and release my thoughts, mind, and relax. And although I don't get there as often as I would like, I make sure and hold the sea close to my heart.  Hence the arrow pointing the way to the ocean.  Find James Michelle on IG @jamesmichelle and customize to your little hearts desire.
