One of the big trends on the street right now is the black metal trend. I love the new “Romania” collection from Twisted Silver which offers black metal with a unique design. I love the twisted floral-like pendant and matching details on the bracelet.

Another way I am tipping my imaginary hat to the black metal trend is with this amazingly warm jacket! The jacket features black buttons with a floral-like carved out design which plays well with Twisted Silver’s “Romania” collection. I am looking forward to wearing Twisted Silver’s “Romania” collection throughout 2014 and beyond. I am also looking forward to staying warm in my favorite new jacket!

Are you integrating the black metal trend into your wardrobe? If so, I would love to hear how you are wearing it!

One of my personal weaknesses is my love for jewelry. I am drawn to handmade jewelry by artistic designers. One of the things I look for in my jewelry is a sense of freedom and playfulness. I also demand quality; and love to wear something which is unique. When I met Teece Torre through Twitter, I fell in love. All of the designs are handmade with semi-precious stones and the bracelets are made to order in your wrist size! Love that!

Being that purple is one of my favorite colors, I was instantly to drawn to several purple hued bracelets on Teece Torre’s website; including this one, and this one. I settled on the beautiful “La Notte“ bracelet which features iolite, citrine and aquamarine. I loved the richness of the gemstones set against the gold clasp and beads. The bracelet has an amazing color which appears very purple when set against other purple shades, black, brown or red. When against shades of blue, green or yellow, the bracelet takes on a bluish-purple hue which makes you squint to try and determine if you are looking at purple or blue! I love that!

All of Teece Torre’s pieces are handmade by the designer in her New York home. In addition to beautiful bracelets, Teece Torre also has fabulous earrings and the most amazing necklaces! I have my eyes on this one and this one. To learn more about Teece Torre, and to shop the collection, (great holiday gifts by the way!), please visit TeeceTorre.com.

Now that December has arrived, we are finally having cold weather! One of my favorite ways to keep cozy on a busy yet casual day is to wear a warm pea coat! This red Banana Republic jacket has served me well for a couple of winter season’s and I am looking forward to it keeping me warm for several more winter seasons. I am a huge fan of Banana Republic’s jackets and coats. Not only are they classic in style, Banana Republic’s jackets and coats offer high quality and a low price. A combination I love!

What is your go-to piece on a cold day to keep stylish and cozy?
