What I made today: Garnet Cubic Zirconia

A week ago I got to choose some Cubic Zirconia beads from Artbeads . I decided to make a necklace and a pair of dangling earrings. Artbeads have quite a large selection of Cubic Zirconia beads in many shapes and colors, check them all  here. 
They add glamour , a touch of  sparkle to any of your beading projects. You can dress up your little black dress with a stunning necklace made of a mix of different  colors of Cubic Zirconia.  I chose 4 mm and 6 mm faceted bicone in the Garnet color I wire wrapped them with Garnet beads. The focus bead is a faceted Oval drop Garnet and it is even more prettier in person. For the earrings I used 2  flat faceted teardrop for the earrings. I combined them with Vintaj brass.
I think the deep color of the Garnet shines more with the chocolate brown suede and the brass chain. Be sure to stop by Artbeads and check all the beautiful Cubic  Zirconia they have in store.

Disclosure: "I do not get paid by Artbeads for blogging about their products. It is a joy for me to this for them. They sent me beads for free because I am part of their blogging progam."

Thursday Lookbook: Brown and black

Right now I am thinking of my family overseas in the Caribbean. Why? Cause it is freaking cold over here, and me and mr. Cold are not friends. The sun is bright but be not fooled cause it is brutal cold with the wind.
I wore this after cleaning upstairs to lunch and running some errands. I got some body warmer (vest) at Old Navy for the kids.


me using the remote but it took the picture to quickly so I could not get my hand down in time.

I love the black and brown combination and paired with the scarf it adds a softer and feminine touch to the outfit. I am wearing:
jeans: Gap, black top F21, scarf:? jacket gift , boots Bandolino.

Lookbook: Windy Wednesday.... black jacket.

It is a beautiful but windy day here in Georgia. I tried to take pictures outside but it was way too windy, I thought the trees were going to fall on me, so I decided to take pictures inside.

I went for a tea with a friend this morning and stopped by to get my affadavit notarized. I won a wardrobe from Affliction. I need to send my size today:)I am excited and also wondering what they are going to pick out for me.

How has your Wednesday been so far, are you already done with your Christmas list?? Are you going somewhere to visit family or just staying home? I have not started yet. The kids wrote their list I think last month or so. We always do things last minute in our household and I kinda leave it to my husband to go do the shopping otherwise It would take me more than a day , he has much better focus than me, I like wandering around and looking and talking here and there and that takes even more time.

I am wearing;
skinny jeans Old Navy, tunic (?) boots: Bandolino, jacket: old

Lookbook: Lucky Tuesday

Before I got ready to take my daily pics  I had to load  a video on my Facebook. The video was about what's for dinner tonight just to test the camera and see if it is easy to load on Facebook. After that I had to check my email,  little did I know ................I got a message saying I won one of the contests on Luckystylespotters. I am extremely happy and will let you know what my prize is as soon as I know.
Have you checked their newest issue? Lots and lots of things to win.
