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.

DBMB's Strut Your Stuff Necklace $14.00

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.

DBMB's Silverlight Petal Necklace $12.00

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.

Happy Halloween!

Here is my vampire costume! The ONLY thing I bought for this outfit was my fangs, and eyelashes. Total cost: $5.00!

I've had every item in this photo for a really long time!

The flower in my hair is a fake flower that is in a flower pot in my bedroom :)

I look a little scary in this picture!

I hope you all had a great Halloween!!
