What I'm wearing now...

I've been obsessed with this necklace combination lately. I layer a couple of gold chains with this black flower necklace. It's a great pop to jeans and tee outfit thanks to the black pendant. It is gorgeous up close because it has great texture to it. Also, I am loving these Nation LTD shirts. I bought a bunch of the burnout tees and they are so comfortable that I've been living in them for the past week.

Add a little color...

I've been a busy girl these days planning a wedding, but I wanted to blog about these new leather bracelets that I've been wearing non-stop. I love how they add a little color accent to jeans and a tee. The more bracelets the merrier!

I love the anchors!

Jen vs The Volcano

I have been a very busy girl, thus not blogging for a month, but being trapped in Spain due to the volcanic ash cloud didn't help things either. After spending eight blissful days in Barcelona and Seville, our flight was cancelled and we were rescheduled for six more days. My guy and I tried to look at the bright side (being stuck on vacation seems like fun) but I was desperate to come home to my dog and my job. We were able to get last minute seats the next day due to a LOT of luck and good timing and  made it home without missing a beat. Thanks to all my customers for waiting patiently for their packages. I don't plan on taking a vacation for a VERY long time!

I thought these little mujers were so cute in the window

Seville from a tower in the Cathedral. I climbed up 35 ramps to get there. My calves were so sore the next day!

One of my favorite tapas dishes from Inopia in Barcelona. It looks like ordinary pineapple but it is covered with cane molasses and lime zest and was KILLER! We loved this restaurant so much we ate there three times. I think the waiters thought we were crazy!

Ham legs everywhere. So delicious and fun to watch them carve plates of paper thin pieces by hand. We ate so much that my guy over dosed on ham and cheese. ;)

Life is a beach...

 

Sometimes I have to remind myself how fortunate I am to live in California, where the skies are blue for most of the year. I love to visit the beach off season because I don't have to worry about dodging frisbees and paddle balls nailing me in the head. Walking on the beach is my meditation. I'm not a sun worshiper, but one of my favorite sounds are of the waves foaming in and out on the shore. I dressed up my casual outfit with a little sparkle from this necklace that I make out of vintage shoe buckles. All are special and one of a kind.

 

Planet Blue

 

Planet Blue is one of my favorite stores in Southern CA because of the diversity of the labels they carry and because of popular demand, they reordered more body jewelry that I designed just for them. I love the way they styled the pieces with interesting tees.  Go to their site and check them out!

Adding some sparkle...

I love earrings because they add so much to an outfit. These are some of my favorite earrings because they are such a statement. They are super simple so they can be worn with any outfit, dressy or casual. I have them now in two sizes. I started with the large crystals and now am offering them in a smaller size and soon, different colors. Amazing. They will become your new favorites...

Crispin & Basillo Jumper, Twelfth Street Shoes, Gustto Bag, Oval Link Necklace

Last weekend, one of my friends visiting me from New York and as an architect major, she wanted to go and sketch at the Getty. I haven't been for a while and it was such a beautiful day, we all made a trip out of it. It's the perfect place to relax outside and sip an ice tea. They also had a great temporary exhibit of Rembrant's sketches and his pupils.

Tammy sketching...

One of the best parts of the Getty are the views. Also created a new necklace that I just had to wear. Look out for it on the site.  It's super delicate and adds a little pop of color to an outfit.
