Indian Style Jewelry

What is it about the east that makes you want to throw on your pashmina and gold sandals and pretend you are some Arabian princess living a charmed life. I've always been a huge admirer of Indian/Oriental/Arabic Style jewelry. Even as a little girl, I yawned at the Tiffanys windows and loved the street vendors exotic finds. 

So when I saw this extremely affordable collection of Indian Jewelry by Amrita Singh, I knew I had to share.

Sorry for being MIA...

Sadly there was a death in my family so I had to shut down for a month, but now I am back up and running :-)

I have to share with you what I have been absolutely raving about for the past few months! Now normally I am not a huge candle fan, but I recently stumbled upon these soy wax candles in a discreet eco-friendly boutiqe during a trip to Newport RI.


Let me tell you, these soy candles are hands down the best I have ever smelled. I love the chic and simple packaging and the creative scents the makers have come up with (check out absinthe and red poppy and you will know what I mean). Each candle is also freshly made when you place your order and the wick is 100% cotton. 

I bought the Cedar Saffron Candle and I am hooked. At 12.98 per candle, endless scents to choose from, and with free shipping, they kick all those overpriced soy candles to the curb.
