Denim vest outfit and a stack of cuff bracelets

sterling cuffs on arm

     If you don't own a denim vest you might need to get one! They are so versatile for any season.

    First off, they can be worn all by themselves as a cute Summer top. Or put one on with an old faded
    tee-shirt and watch the transformation.

    This 3 layered combo is from my very own closet. The first piece is a white tank top. The 2nd is
    the long sleeve striped blouse. Slip on your blue jeans and a stack of whimsically patterened
    sterling cuffs and you'll be comfy with style!

Yes you can layer coin jewelry!

layered coin jewelry being worn

Layering jewelry is all about balance. When in balance each piece will compliment the other.

The top necklace is more petite. The coin is smaller and the brass bars are more on the
delicate side. The second necklace has a much bigger coin. Heavier chain and it hangs down longer.
They compliment rather than compete with each other.

Go ahead, give it a try!

Chocolate and coin jewelry from foreign land

coin bracelet on hand holding chocolate

            Yup I'm a choco-holic, no doubt about it! I recently discovered this Chocolate
            Mexicano samper of chocolate shaped discs. I'm talking stone ground
            chocolate with true grit.

            Taza Chocolate is handmade in Maryland but uses Mexicano
            spices - chipotle chili and guajillo chili. The sampler includes 8 bold flavors
            that range from spicy to sweet to savory. Yummm!

             foreign lands was meant to be.

Those lovely shades of green are reminniscent of nature. They feel so tranquil and soothing.
