earrings: handmade
bracelet: H&M

She is the Lucky one.

Meet Martje my friend, she is the one I blog about yesterday. As you can see she is sporting the necklace. It realy looks good on her and the best part is she likes it.

The Reveal!!!!!

It is here the big reveal.
I am pretty sure that I won't spoil the surprise, but this is a necklace that I made for my dear friend Martje. She has been in the USA
since July 2006. I met Martje in a Zumba class, she kept starring at me and I started wondering what I was doing wrong. After class she approached me and asked me if I knew what the letters on my shirt meant (NL) . I said yes, Netherlands. That is how our friendship started. She is dutch like me and left with her husband to the US for a 3 year contract. We have been together to Zumba, to 4th of July celebrations, dinners at each others houses. The beautiful baby that you see in some of my pictures is her daughter. I have babysitted her for a while and really grew attached to her. Very soon they will be going back to the Netherlands. The teachers at the school where she has been teaching part time wanted to give her a gift, so Monique a friend and fellow helper at the school asked me if I could make a necklace that would be the colors of the flag of America. This has been a bittersweet labor of love, I started by taking a blue ball with me to the bead store to match the blue and get the right kind of red , for the white I used clear glass beads. Bittersweet meaning that it is sad that she is leaving but happy that I was asked to make something that whenever she wears it she will think of the people that gave her this gift and the one who made it for her.
Martje I wish you all the best, hope you like it. .

A touch of yellow.

I started with the yellow belt for this outfit. I am wearing Calvin Klein Jeans that I bought at Costco's. My friend Lisa always looks really cool in her jeans, so when I complimented her she told me that she get her everyday jeans at Costco. So this is my first piece of clothing from Costco, the style is boot cut and really fits well. I might get the lighter version of the same style.

I am wearing:
jacket: Rampage
top: ?
belt: Steve Madden
shoes: Tahari
jeans: Calvin Klein
watch: Burberry
earrings: are handmade by me
