Featuring – Nayme Necklaces

Published by

What’s in a name? Apparently more than you know! Canadian brand Nayme is a jewelry line that takes the meaning of your name and then makes a pendant to represent it. I love the idea and love the look of these elegant charms. According to the website, when you buy any Nayme necklace, you also get a personalized box that includes details like the origin and meaning of your name. So, let’s take a look at my two names – Élana Camille. According to the Nayme website the meaning of Elana is: Of Hebrew origin meaning “oak tree”.* And the meaning of Camille is: Of Latin origin, Camille means “free born”.* And here are the two charms that represent them: Elana Camille A bird and a tree? How fitting that the two should end up complimenting each other. If you are ever looking for a great gift idea, I’d say look no further. It’s a lovely and sentimental gift. I know I’ll be sending some not-so-subtle hints to the boyfriend! Images: via Nayme website *Information …

Damn Heels! – Product Review (a staple for the holiday party circuit!)

Published by

“Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus..” and plenty of holiday parties too!! ‘Tis the season! And while I love to get dressed up as much as the next person for all those fantastic holiday parties, my poor feet won’t be too happy if I spend more than a few hours in my sky-high heels! Back in October as I stumbled…and yes I mean stumbled (no alcohol needed or consumed mind you) my way out of the tents at World MasterCard Fashion Week, I thought to myself…I wish I could take off these damn heels! My own damn heels…

I usually dread Mondays…the day AFTER the weekend. Usually I’m thinking to myself…I need at least ONE more weekend day!! But today I came back into work, feeling refreshed and energetic! And why you ask (even if you didn’t I’m definitely going to tell you)!? All because I was preoccupied with a little DIY project!

The Other Bag…(never leaves my side)

Published by

I am a self-confessed bag lady. I’m not ashamed…not one bit! Usually you’ll see me trek into the office or to an event with my main purse & a tote in tow. And usually my tote is packed with notebooks, papers, and sometimes a laptop or iPad. I have many places to be and precious little time to stop in between. So everything and I mean everything needs to come with me. When people ask me what I carry in my bags I simply say “my life“! I came across this tote with a purpose via twitter last night – The Other Bag by ALDO This tote looks great & will help me avoid having my main bag weigh a ton (plus some)!  And with a cheeky name like “The Other Bag” what’s not to love(not to worry – I wouldn’t consider this cheating on your main purse!)?      (Image via: ALDOshoes.com) One tote, three cute designs. Save the laptop, reading material, SLR camera, and your pair of flats for this tote and save …
