A hell of a lotta fun today in Vegas at the Taste of the NFL for Super Bowl weekend! I was tickled to bejewel Miss America (and the jewelry was donated to GenYouth…an incredible organization which feeds millions of needy children school lunches)! The event with amazing chefs, vintners, liquor companies all come together to do good work. Everyone donates, has fun and the crowd contributes their money, laughter and great spirit! If you happen to go to any Super Bowl, plan to go to the Saturday event! It’s fab!

Some days you feel like you live in an alternate reality. A world where, just for a moment, you have to pinch yourself and ask “am I really in NYC at the Polo Bar presenting to some of the world’s top fashion magazines?” The ones I have been coveting and reading my whole life and providing me aspirational fashion fantasies? Yup. Honored to have actually been in that spot and it was thrilling. An experience I will never forget. So many to thank but the kaleidoscope of universal fortunes rained (literally) down to make it happen! So many blessings!

Don’t we just all love, love? Whom ever you love (including yourself) take time to honor it. We don’t do it enough. 🤍

is one of my favorite people on the planet. Not only does she illuminate each and every photograph she chooses to grace, her spirit is beyond ethereal, her care for others, legendary and her personal style? We can only fantasize. I just love being in her presence and when she wears my jewelry at it just radiates. Thank you Ade for all that you are. I will never forget all of your quiet kindnesses. All my love 🤍.

It may be FRIGID out there but it is warm in here! My favorite is to wrap up in the warmth of 18 and 20k gold with champagne diamonds! 💎 It’s HOT!

Her magnificence draws you in. It’s quiet. Evocative. Alluring. You want to understand her mystery yet you know she is fully self contained. Softly. In her power. Feminine energy and strength.

My deep and warmest wishes to you all on this holiday. My prayer is that you are surrounded by love and peace and all that brings you joy. For those of you where that is not possible this year, my prayer for you is peace and healing and the knowledge that someone cares. I care. We all deserve to feel loved, safe, joy, well fed and peaceful. That we belong, matter and have a place of significance in the mystery of the puzzle of the universe. That is the significance of the holidays for me. Family. Chosen families. Global families. Love. One love. Be love. 🤍🕊️🤍

It’s all about family! I’m beyond thrilled I have my peeps around me this holiday! (This one sans grandkiddies and DIL)😢. Happy days!

Back in Texas! This time in Dallas getting ready to show at the fabulous store! If you haven’t been, you must! The fashions are on fleek, and I must say, the jewels, this weekend in particular, are sick! Friday and Saturday…if you are in town, I would love to see you!

So long Houston! What fun!! You are so very pretty all decked out for the holidays! Loved spending time in your city…your lights, your great food…but especially, your people. The best. Thank you and in particular - you truly know how to rock it in jewelry! I so appreciate you and your sense of partnership! It means the world to!! Happy Holidays Houston!

Twinkle, twinkle little star….lots of bling near and far! !!

Ooooops! Forgot to post this morning! I’m here! In Houston this weekend having a great time w new and old clients, telling stories about the jewelry, hearing deep stories about my clients lives, going places I never dreamed I would go. I just can’t tell you how profoundly meaningful it is to me. Heart filling. Soul stirring. Right here, at the counter-encountering people and their lives. That’s why I am here and I love it. It’s my purpose. To serve. And to be filled up by it. Thank you for the honor

To my Jewish friends near and far, the most blessed Hanukkah this year and always! 🕊️💙🕊️

If you are ‘in town’ and can throw on Fox 9 for their fab Good Day program featuring the always charming, always full of great cheer, Mr. Jerrod Scott giving a nod to his choices for the best of the best most stylish holiday gifts for 2023! I’m enormously honored to be a member of that team of artisans! Fox 9, 9:30! Thank you Mr. Scott. 💋

Every year seems to have its own personality. Seasons. Some filled with wonder and luscious experiences. Some with abundance and manifestation (of all kinds). And many droughts. Bone aching a sense of standing in barren territory. But through it all, are you. My people. Those whom I am honored to have as family or as my chosen family (my dearest friends). My friends far and wide-even those I don’t see often but every opportunity we have, we pick up just where we left off-like there was no time or space in between. My clients whom lift me always (you have no idea) when on the road to allow me a sense of belonging-and even those on social media. That I haven’t met, yet we have shared moments. Allowing a bit of intimacy in this crazy disconnected world. I cherish each and every one of these touch points. This year in particular, I have needed you more than most - and I am eternally grateful for you. Your value to me is beyond measure. I am here for you as well. That’s how the village works. Love in the global village. So much love and so much gratitude. Happiest Thanksgiving to you and yours.
