CLE Shops: Happy Hour Collection
Do you like Happy Hour? That was a rhetorical question-- of course you do!! Located in the 5th Street Arcades, Happy Hour Collection is focussed on the modern bar so you can make your Happy Hours even happier. The store itself is adorable-- it has this great art deco vibe, and a mix of vintage and modern bar appointments to make your bar area (perhaps its a bar cart?) oh-so-Instagram-worthy. Ever wonder where you can get those gorgeous glasses with hints of gold? Or in desperate need (want) of a gold champagne chiller? You can find them at Happy Hour Collection.
The store carries a great selection of bitters and mixes, which would be great additions to your personal bar, and also make great gifts for the drink-lover (which, lets face it, is basically everyone I know.) They offer a few pre-made gift selections, but I always enjoy walking around and creating my own personalized gift selections for the people I love.

Happy Hour Collection will be hosting events in the very near future, so make sure you're following them on social media to stay up to date. I believe there's a bourbon tasting coming up in the fall!
Made-in-Ohio decanter and glasses
I really wanted to buy these, but Nick *might* kill me if I bring more glasses into the house, so I had to show restraint and walk away.
I bought a set of these mixers-- I will talk more about them in an upcoming post- stay tuned!
An example of a gift package.
More merchandise. I mean, just LOOK at that gold cocktail shaker and flash. SO chic and insta-worthy.
Unique cocktail shaker with matching glasses-- the prices on these vintage items are really reasonable!
Another glimpse at what the store has on offer.
Go stop by and explore-- not only is the store adorable and fun, but your bar and happy hour guests will LUUUUURVE you for it!

Orange You Pretty!
So, I had a photo shoot with photographer extraordinaire Suzanne Price this past Friday. More details to come soon, but I found myself very drawn to the orange + gold + cream combo for the shoot. You can view a sneak preview from the shoot here!

And All Good Things Come To An End
When it comes to jewelry, I have a few motto's:
Bigger is Better
More is More
That said, I can always appreciate the beauty of a delicate piece: of course there is the option to stack them, but sometimes a single piece of delicate jewelry can convey endless elegance.
The Atlas Pierced Bar Pendant in rose gold
P.S. Orchids don't smell like anything. I did not know that until I actually tried to sniff them.

A closer look at those Bar Bracelets. The rose gold version even has tiny diamonds in it!
And with that, as with all good things, my time with my Tiffany & Co. treasures has come to an end.
A huge thank you to Tiffany & Co. and their PR representatives for allowing my this truly amazing opportunity. Also, a great big thank you to N and my dear friend Melissa for being my photographers. And last, but certainly not least, thank you to YOU, my readers, for joining me on this adventure. I had an absolute BLAST doing it, and I hope you enjoyed reading it!
We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week!!
XOXOXO
Disclosure: Tiffany & Co. lent me a number of pieces from their 2013 Atlas Collection and asked me to blog about how I would incorporate these pieces in my daily wardrobe. I have received no other compensation other than the ability to wear these pieces for the allocated time period. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

Celebrate EVERY Day with Tiffany & Co
I used to be the kind of person that used to save all my "treasures" for special occasions. Then earlier this year, I read a quote (and I wish I remembered who said it) that essentially advocated (and I'm paraphrasing here): Stop saving your beautiful things for special occasions because LIFE is a special occasion.
In the spirit of this very wise saying, here's me wearing my most FAVORITE Tiffany piece!! It is the Atlas Hinged Bangle in rose gold, and lets just say that if I owned this, I would wear it ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE!!

My dress is the Gemma wrap dress from Banana Republic, shoes from Nine West (discontinued but similar to this). And in keeping with high-lo, the chunky resin necklace is from Francesca's
As you can see above, I stacked the Atlas bangle with a cuff bracelet from my personal collection. I'm also mixing metals with some rose, gold and silver!!
Here's a closer look at my new obsession. Isn't she gorgeous?!
So what do you think of my new motto to Celebrate Every Day? Are you inspired to wear some of your "treasures" more frequently?

Tiffany & Co. at Work
While I work in a generally conservative field, I am lucky enough that my dress code is business casual on days that I'm not visiting clients. For me, business casual takes a few different forms: a dress + cardi/blazer, a skirt + knit top/blouse, or my new favorite, skinny pants + blouse/cardi. Between the J.Crew Minnie and the Gap Ultra Skinny, I have amassed quite the collection of black skinnies.
When I'm looking to make my work wardrobe more "fun" I usually turn to the big 3: shoes, bags, jewelry. I think of them as a way to inject some personality into what might be an otherwise boring look.
Gap Ultra Skinny Pants, Gap black tank, polka dot sweater from Marshalls, red Nine West peep-toes from years ago, but similar to these.
On days like this one, where my outfit may be veering a little toward casual, I like to dress things up with more sophisticated jewelry: diamonds or pearls are guaranteed to glamorize any outfit!!
Here I'm wearing the Tiffany Atlas Open Pendant with diamonds (note that this piece is bigger than the one I have linked to) and Atlas hoop earrings (note that the earrings I'm wearing are smaller than those in the link)
Here's a closer look at those earrings.... oooooh SHINY!!!
While diamonds may not be realistic for every budget, I firmly believe that it is important to invest in a few classic, quality pieces. You can never go wrong with a pair of elegant pearl studs or a simple, understated necklace! What are your go-to pieces when you're trying to make an outfit more elegant or glamorous?

The Pinnacle of My Blogging Career
OMG! I HAVE REACHED THE PINNACLE OF MY BLOGGING CAREER!!!!
It is no secret that I'm a lover of sparkly things, particularly jewelry. So, you can only imagine my absolute JOY when I was contacted by representatives from Tiffany & Co. about a collaboration to celebrate the opening of their new store on Chagrin Boulevard.
The collaboration is this: Tiffany has lent me pieces from their 2013 Atlas Collection to incorporate into my daily wardrobe. If you haven't seen it before, the Atlas Collection features classic Roman numerals, as shown below-
So for this entire week, you will see posts of me wearing these incredible pieces of jewelry along with my normal wardrobe! CUE THE SQUEALING!!

All Pinned Up
I've been trying to grow my hair out for a few years, and I'm starting to get a little restless. I've done the bangs, no bangs, highlights, and I'm currently rocking ombre. While I would love to experiment with updos, quite frankly, I have no updo skills. Seriously. I can eff up a sock bun. Lucky for me, a few months ago, I ran into a hairstyle so simple, even I can do it....
Bobby pins!!!! Seriously, how much easier can this get?!?! For a more dramatic look, just line up a few of them in a row! Best of all, this past weekend, I found these at Target!
How awesome are these?! Adorable, completely on trend for spring with the bright colors, and best of all each set was under $5!!!!

Cocktails with a side of Rock n' Roll
I'm having a MAJOR obsession with BIG rings with a slight rock-n-roll edge.

I already picked up the nOir cocktail ring on sale at Gilt, and I wouldn't be surprised if I manage to collect them all by the end of the year!!
Are you into cocktail rings, or do you prefer the more delicate stacking variety?

What to Wear: Jump Back Ball 2013
Have you entered to win 2 tickets to the Home and Garden Show? If not, you may do so here. I changed the entry rules a little to accommodate those without twitter accounts. Good luck!!
We're now a little less than a month away from Jump Back Ball 22, and hopefully all of you attending have started to think about what you want to wear. You may be in the middle of a weight loss campaign, and may be waiting to actually purchase your dress, and while that is fine, I strongly recommend that you at least have SOME idea of what you might want to wear.
Will it be long or short?
Are you going with basic black or are you going with color?
Are you going to incorporate this year's board game theme: Jump Back Two Spaces?
I have a couple of outfits planned, which I will narrow down in the next few weeks. The first one is short and spring-inspired, and the second is long and inspired by a character from the board game CLUE.
I fully expect CLUE to be an inspiration for a number of people- if not as a direct inspiration, definitely in the choice of colors: red, yellow, white, green, blue and purple. I also expect to see quite a bit of black, as always. Based on what we've seen on the Awards Red Carpets this year, I would also not be surprised to see some nudes and blush tones, with perhaps even some glitter and lace!
Here are some of my favorites under $200:

So what will you be wearing?
