DBMB's new website launched last night and I'm super excited about it!

The new design is fresh, clean, and easier to navigate.  You will also be able to shop with your mobile phone, which was not possible with the other site.

I also added a Gallery page which includes photos I've taken of DBMB pieces on me, along with ones you guys have sent me.

I hope you guys love it as much as I do! Check it out, and let me know what you think!

Attn: Santa's Little Helper. Welcome to the Age of Technology!



For the past couple of years my family and I have been using the Amazon.com Wish List to create our Christmas lists online, and it works out GREAT! It takes out a lot of the guessing when it comes to what to get your family members during the holiday season. You literally just click on the item on their list, buy it, and it will be at your home in about a week!

You can either search in Amazon for what you want to put on your list, or you can add the Amazon toolbar to your browser.  This is what I do during the holidays because a lot of the time Amazon doesn't have everything I want to put on my list. 

Here's how to do it:

1. Log into Amazon
2. Go to WISH LIST on the right hand side
3. Scroll down and hit Get Amazon Toolbar on the left hand side.
4. Download.
5. Close all your windows.
6. Open your browser.
7. Find something you want to add to your wishlist.
8. At the top of your browser in the Amazon toolbar hit "Add to Wish List."

Ta Da! That's it! Amazing huh?

Here is a quick look at mine.. :)




Don't forget to add all the DBMB jewelry you want Santa to bring you too!!

Holiday Jewelry Trends



I don't know about you guys, but I'm already thinking about the holidays! I've started my Christmas shopping, and I'm already planning my holiday party outfits!
So what is everyone going to be wearing this year?
Here are a few of the top trends in jewelry for this holiday season.

Bling Bling!
"Bling" is always in for the holiday season.  It brings glitz and glam to any of your holiday outfits. This one by DBMB can be worn with just about anything.

Colored Stones
Colored stones are getting increasingly popular going into the winter season.  I love this one in blue, because it reminds me of winter.  I would wear this with a black or grey dress.  You would only need one piece of jewelry with this jewel, it steals the show!
DBMB's  Sapphire Blaze Necklace $14.00

Cocktail Rings
 Cocktails and cocktail rings are a must during the holidays! Don't forget to decorate your fingers too!
DBMB's Dragonfly Bubbles $16.00 

Dark Diamonds
Dark diamonds are going to be very popular this season.  I like them because they have a more edgy appeal.
DBMB's Forget Me Knot Necklace $17.00 

Pendants
Pendants are the easiest gift to give! Everyone loves them and they are a classic piece, especially during the holidays.

Sterling Silver

The best thing about sterling silver...it lasts forever! Enough said. :)
DBMB's MoModern Envy Ring $32.00

Carrie'd Away by Carrie Underwood at the CMA's.

Is it me, or does Carrie Underwood get more gorgeous every time we see her?
She hosted and preformed at the CMA's the other night. Here are a few of her, oh so fabulous, ensembles.

Red Lips - Do You Dare?

 

Bold. Classic. Elegant.

Bright red lips have been gracing the runway and magazines the past year.  I have always loved the look, but until recently I have been reluctant to try the classic trend.

Do you dare to go red?

Pet Ghost

In the spirit of Halloween, I wanted to share with you a recent photo that was taken from my parents house...



See the extra set of pet eyes??

I think its the spirit of our long time dog Penny who we had to put down a couple years ago.
