Local designer Amber Hatchett has some really stunning jewelry floating around the Instagram world and I wanted to share it with you guys! I have already chosen a few that I would love to see under the Christmas tree with my name on it! 

I'm so in love with these pieces! Especially the body chain. I adore! I adore! I may have to just slip one of these pieces in my own stocking!

If you want to drool over a lot more then go to Amber's instagram.

Blanket Scarf Girl

Blanket scarves can be a bit annoying to wear but they sure do come in handy when you are sitting inside of a building that doesn't have the heat turned up enough! They get a bit annoying when you try to put your purse on your shoulder or do anything really that requires you to lift your arms over your head. Le sigh. 

I picked up this scarf really on an impulse buy one night when we were downtown. I had not gauged the temperature correctly and ended up not dressing warmly enough. We ran into Mast General Store and grabbed this blanket scarf that I knew could keep me warm but not be to bulky for the concert at the Orange Peel that we were scheduled for later on. My expectations were correct! It wasn't bulky and actually ended up being the perfect amount of warmth!

I wear a LOT of what I know as "Long Over Lean" which basically translates to wearing longer tops with tighter bottoms. Like tunics over leggings. It is the most comfortable for me style wise because I feel it fits my body shape wonderfully. I feel like it elongates my legs a bit too when I keep the leggings the same color as my boots. Short girl problems!

Outfit details:

Scarf: Locally Mast General Store - although I do not see it on their website; Online here

Tunic: picked up at a yard sale

Leggings: terribly old and in need of replacing!

Boots: Eddie Bauer (few years old)

Scroll Work Designs

I had to let you guys in on this. I just found out about Clarity Collins, who is a local silversmith here in my hometown. A true silversmith - is it just me or does that not make you think of the movie Robin Hood or Ever After or Monty Python? Maybe its just me that wants to be Queen Guinevere. Anyway!!! Clarity is so very talented and I wanted to feature some of her wares here on the ol' blog. I love giving shout outs to local talent and Etsy sellers....So take a look at her Etsy shop ScrollWorkDesigns and be in awe of her handcrafted jewelry! It's amazing stuff...considering if my clumsy self tried any of this I would hammer all 10 fingers off within minutes.
