The football necklace

I did it! I got my hands on the famous football necklace by Kendra Scott. This pretty little necklace sells out quickly when it is in stock, so I ended up on a wait list at the Santana Row Kendra Scott store. I am so happy it came in!

As you know, I love football! My son plays football, he is a defensive linebacker, and I love the niners. Also, my oldest daughter attends a big-time football university, and she enjoys going to the games. In addition, both of my husband’s alma maters are huge football schools too. So, our fall weekends are spent either attending football games, or watching them on TV; and yes, we schedule them into our day!

When the football necklace first came out, I decided to wait to purchase it at a fundraiser hosted by Kendra Scott that I knew I would be attending. Of course, by the time the fundraiser came around, the necklace was sold out! Thankfully, Kendra Scott had a wait list and they graciously put me on it. I was thrilled when I got the call that the necklace was back in stock! Yay!

Isn’t it adorable? I cannot wait to wear it on game days! If you are a huge football fan too, don’t wait to buy this necklace, snap one up now! You can find it online here.

Well, I had just returned from parent’s weekend at my daughters’ school when I got the call that the necklace had arrived. Of course, all my up-to-date jeans were in the laundry basket! So, here I am in skinny jeans. Please don’t laugh, I know they are way out of style, but at least they are clean! haha

This button tee is turning into my current go-to top for fall. Since temperatures are refusing to be fall-like, a short sleeve tee in a fall hue is the perfect top to wear right now. I might go back and snap one up in black too. Love!

After snapping the obligatory photo in front of the famous Santana Row “the wall,” my mom and I enjoyed lunch at It’s Dumpling Time. I was on a high from picking up my football necklace, so lunch was even more special. They have amazing XLB dumplings, shu mai, and pot stickers. Definitely stop in for some dumplings when you shop on “The Row!”

Lastly, we wandered into Madewell and I was so impressed! I need to pop back in and try on some jeans, but in the meantime, I am drooling over this beautiful tote bag! The leather is really nice and I love the texture. It looks like a fabulous daytime tote bag. Love it!

Shop my casual fall outfit online, I included non-skinny jeans too:

Do you love football too? Be sure to snap up this necklace before it is gone! Good luck to your team, but I know my teams will win! haha

Thanks for stopping by!

National Jewel Day 2023

From top left: beaded bracelets (local designer, under $50) / fidget bracelets / station silver bracelet / bar silver bracelet / star necklace (under $100) / silver drop earrings / silver hoop earrings / purple and silver earrings (under $100) / golden hoops (under $100) /

Happy National Jewel Day! Although the day is focused more on jewels and fine jewelry, I thought it would be fun to also celebrate classic, timeless jewelry which doesn’t break the bank. Don’t get me wrong, I love a beautiful bauble, but timeless, everyday jewelry is not only more practical, but it is also more indicative of personal style. After all, how many people walk around flashing large, fine jewels? OK, you got me, princesses! Well, since most of us are not part of a royal family, investment jewelry we can wear everyday is perfect.

As you know, I love classic pieces which can be worn on a daily basis, and eventually passed along to my daughters. This silver jewelry from Lois Hill is perfect for investing in at an affordable price point. I also love these classic, silver bamboo style hoops. They are perfect to wear everyday.

This spring, why not add a pop of color with classic Elle earrings from Kendra Scott? I love how many colors there are to choose from. You will always have a pair to match your ensemble. Love that!

These gemstone bead bracelets are perfect for stacking and showing off on a warm day. I believe the ideal stack is three bracelets. They look great mixed with other bracelets such as the silver ones featured above. Love!

Since it is National Jewel Day, this is the perfect day to clean your jewelry, and polish any silver pieces you may have in your jewelry box.

What are some of your favorite pieces of jewelry?

Thanks for stopping by, and Happy National Jewel Day 2023!

XOXO
