Party Time

I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things about the holiday season is getting dressed up and attending a holiday party.  Next week is our company holiday party so I've been looking for a cocktail dress and accessories.  So far I picked out the fabulous headband pictured below.  I'm not sure if it's a wise decision to plan an entire outfit around a headband but it's just so pretty.  We'll see.  If I can't wear it to next week's party, I'll just have to find another occasion!

Baltic Amber

My family is Latvian and one thing the country and culture is known for is its Baltic amber.  If you ever have a chance to visit the beautiful country like I did several years ago, you can easily purchase some Baltic jewelry in one of the hundred shops or outdoor stalls selling it.  It's quite inexpensive and I love the different shades it comes in - everything from green to honey to molasses.  Needless to say, I have a ton of it that has been handed down to me or given as a gift...and I'm not complaining.  I'll be posting more images of Latvian jewelry in the coming weeks...
