christmas – Page 2

It’s such a beautiful Sunday morning here in Richmond, Virginia! Cold and not a cloud in the sky! THIS is how I like to do winter!

I’ll be heading back to my hometown in FL soon to spend some time with my family, as well as to co-host a holiday trunk show with my good friend and former neighbor, Marcy who is the creator of K.a.i-y.a. Designs.

Autumn’s TN trunk show last month was a huge success and she’s been busy filling orders. Because my show is so close to Christmas (and is actually on the first night of Hanukkah), I have to focus on physical inventory, which has been no easy task. Thankfully, I just LOVE what I do!

My kids have been very patient with me and my hubby has even helped me out with some ironing. With their support, I’ve been able to come up with some fun new accessories to present at the show, which I have been featuring here on our blog and on our Facebook page.

Today I am going to show you some of my newest pendant necklaces.

I can’t tell you how much I adore when my clients see my previews on the Facebook page and call dibs on certain pieces. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, especially since I truly make each and every item with SO MUCH LOVE in my heart! xoxo–Yvette

Has it been a week since our last post??? Forgive us! The holidays do this to us! We still love you all though!! Our Facebook page is a bustle of activity, so if you miss us as much as we miss you, become a fan!

I (Yvette) celebrated my first Thanksgiving in Virginia. We don’t have any family nearby so we decided, for the first time ever, to go out to eat on Thanksgiving Day. We made reservations at a staple downtown restaurant and got gussied up for the big night.


I busted out a dress I got last year at a little boutique called TARGET! Paired it with some textured tights, a bow belt from XXI and Rocket Dog suede heels from DSW. The silver cuff was a birthday gift from my friend Luana.

I recruited my 11-year-old son to take my pics!

Dinner was great and the next day, while hubby made a turkey, the kids and I decorated for Christmas. For the first time in about 5 years we decided to buy a natural tree, but since we will be in and out around the holidays, we opted for a table-top size. This is much different than our 8-9 foot trees from years past.
