Summer Statement Jewelry

How is it possible that the holiday weekend already seems like it was so long ago? Eeks! I have a big Bon Bon order I'm in the middle of & we're up to our eyeballs pricing new inventory at the boutique- Calgon take me away! It will all get done- it always does, just with a little help from caffeine! Here's a peek at just some of the new pieces we got in at La Papillon. These I think will be our signature summer earrings- I love them! Not too heavy, either- I picked up a pair for myself & sent a pair to my sister for her birthday.
I am obsessed with turquoise & gold lately- I have my eye on this necklace, too!

These are the most delicate lace like mini chandelier earrings. I want a pair of these, too! {Sensing a pattern?}

This necklace makes such a statement & can be worn reversed in all gold.

Another necklace that can make an outfit, just pair with a strapless maxi & you're done!

It's funny, I was worried these might be a little over the top for the girls, but this necklace was the Beauty Team's overall favorite pick! Do you have a favorite- what would you wear it with?

Fall Fashion Forecast

It's the most wonderful time of the year for moi, it's almost like I'm one of Santa's Pre Season Elves! Before the madness of our holiday season- there's calm before the storm. With a glimpse of fall insight accessories are being delivered to the boutique day & night.

Love these blinged out hematite angel wing rings we're getting in!
A huge theme for fall will be gray with undertones of beige.

The real trend for fall will be leather wrap bracelets. Every shape & width- they were the dominating accessory at market.

Bolder wraps with bezel set cz's were still incredibly comfortable to wear with my personal pick being the gunmetal color of this trio.

A more casual & dainty version, almost like a ribbon or leather tennis bracelet of cz's! Make sure to pop into the boutique over the next few weeks & check the online store after Labor Day for some new baubles to add to your collection!

Going for Broke in NYC

There's nothing like holiday buying when it's still 90 degrees outside! But this is the time of year when retailers like moi head to market to do just that! So while it was sweltering outside- I was sniffing gorgeous holiday scents for the winter season. These candles were divine- especially Frost, a cool soft almost buttermint fragrance. They're made by the same vendor who makes our best selling Volcano candle, so of course we had to have them.
Accessories make my heart go pitter patter, no matter what time of year. I fell in love with a new vendor at market whose earrings were intricate, yet classic & most importantly comfortable to wear! I'm counting down the days til these arrive!

Big bold accessories will be huge this fall & winter- as I always say go big or go home! Messy chain necklaces & bracelets are right on trend.

Here is that same turquoise bracelet in clear crystal on the wrist. All of the different textures & chains make it so interesting- it really is a signature piece. September is the month where all of our new loot starts arriving at the boutique & online store on a daily basis. I love all the packages- it's like our UPS man is Santa Claus for one brief moment, that is before I get the credit card bill!

Weekend Fashions

I'm obsessed with this new black & white bib necklace we just got in at the boutique. Not for the faint of heart, this necklace will make an outfit. I'll be pairing it with a black strapless maxi dress over the weekend. It will give the illusion that the necklace is almost part of the dress. I luurrvveess it!

I'm also going thru a studs phase right now. Nothing huge, just interesting vintage inspired ones- like these black & white art deco inspired studs.

Following in the black & white theme, how adorable is this tunic for lounging pool side with cocktail in hand? What are your favorite go to outfits for long lazy holiday weekends?

Fabulous Finds Friday

Last year we had a signature flower bracelet that we sold out of- this year I think we've topped it! How whimsical & fresh & slightly retro is this bracelet? It's perfect for summer! Here it is in the gold tone & pink version that I had to have with its matching ring. I'm not normally a gold tone kind of gal, but I loved the soft color.

Here's the bracelet in more earth tones with silver metal. It's so comfortable to wear throughout the day & easy to get on and off due to it's hinge.

Here's the vibrant blue version in silver tone- I love how it looks like the flowers are actually floating on the wrist! These beauties are at the boutique now & will be uploaded on PeaceLoveLipgloss over the weekend- so grab one while you can. Speaking of weekends- I hope all my girleens have a great one!

Be My Valentine

Anyone who knows me, knows that lipgloss is the way to my heart! I heart this retro inspired rollerball version, it takes me back to the early days of my love affair with gloss. Smashbox's Heartbreaker Collection including its first ever foray into fragrance could not come at a better time for Cupid!

I mean I love fresh flowers, truly I do. But when it comes to Valentine's Day, I'd much rather have a treat that will last versus roses that are ridiculously overpriced. Take these cute Tory Burch heart sandals. This way, every time you catch a glimpse of your adorable piggies you will think of your sweetheart!

Box of chocolates? I'd rather have a box of jewelry any day! This adorable necklace from Juicy Couture has a paved crystal heart & key on a delicate silver chain. You hold the key to his heart after all...
Peace & Love. M
