When it comes to amping up your appearance and stealing the limelight on occasions, nothing beats wearing the perfect jewelry. People often attach special significance to jewelry pieces, which is why these adornments can draw attention to you and help you stand out almost effortlessly.

For a very long time in Atlanta, jewelry has been of great importance to people across various domains. Whether it’s bracelets, watches, necklaces, or any other jewelry piece, having jewelry adornments can perfect your appearance and make you look more appealing to your loved one.
If you’re wondering why you should be in an Atlanta jewelry store searching for the perfect piece for you, here’s why
1. Jewelry Compliments Your Appearance
Outfits without jewelry tend to look boring and too basic. Jewelry is a great way to add a bit of variety and spark to your fashion in Atlanta while still rocking your simple outfit. The right jewelry will add a pop of color and shine to your appearance, particularly when you know how to match outfits with jewelry pieces.
While that may require a bit of learning and practice, you want to stick with neutral, gold, or silver jewelry whenever you are in doubt. Those colors work perfectly with most outfits and can help you look outstanding.
2. They Reflect Your Personality and Taste
Whether it’s intricate or chunky, bold or quirky, the pieces of jewelry you use can immediately tell a lot about your personality and taste. It makes it easier for others to connect with you, as your jewelry pieces can be a great conversation starter.
In fact, you can immediately sense a similarity in taste when you see someone using a piece of jewelry that has a similar style as yours. At the same time, you can tell a person’s class by how unique their pieces of jewelry are.
3. They Provide Functional Value
Jewelry pieces such as wristwatches, rings, and many others provide great functional value. For instance, your wristwatch can help you manage time more efficiently and communicate to others around that you are a time-conscious individual.
A jewelry ring can pass information about your relationship status without needing to answer the same question about your private life over and over again. So when you have your ring on the appropriate finger, you can communicate to others and
4. They help you emphasize specific areas
You may want to draw attention to specific body areas in an effortless and classy style, and jewelry can help you achieve that. For instance, if you want a loved one to notice your beautiful ears and radiant face, a pair of earrings can do that.
Jewelry can even help you hide certain features about yourself or make them less prominent by creating a distraction. A typical example is when you wear a necklace that hangs pointed to help you appear taller or wearing a choker necklace to help maintain or slightly reduce the appearance of your height.
Finally, the perfect piece of jewelry will go as far as complementing your skin color and helping you bring out your natural, seamless beauty. So the next time you feel your outfit hasn’t quite created that perfect impression you’re looking for, it’s probably because you haven’t tried adding a piece of jewelry.

Yesterday I was invited to a special lunch organized by 914 Pop’s to experience the incredible chef Anthony Gonclaves Portuguese fare. Kanopi is a serious gourmet’s dream. The intimate restaurant on the 42nd floor of the Opus hotel in White Plains serves a weekly chef’s tasting menu Wednesday thru Saturday.
The space in itself is spectacular. The room boasts 360 views of Westchester and the Hudson Valley. There are only 7 dining tables each with its own amazing cityscape.
With chef-led tasting menus, boutique wine pairings, and an intimate dining experience, Kanopi offers a unique farm-to-table culinary experience unlike any other. Chef Anthony Gonçalves, his wife Andreia Goncalves, and the team capture the essence of Portugal while remaining firmly rooted in the Hudson Valley through seasonal menus comprised of old-world flavors and local farm-fresh ingredients.
Here are some of the tastings we enjoyed yesterday, for more information or to make a reservation, click HERE.

Recently, when we were in Florida, we went to the most fun event for the 20th Anniversary of The Daily Front Row and one of the sponsors was Zacapa Rum. They served this fabulously tropical cocktail that was featured on my social media pages and many of you asked for the recipe. I tracked it down from Zacapa and learned it is called The Hummingbird. If you make it, please let me know. It was soo good!! I know you are going to LOVE it as much as we all did!! CHEERS!!!


One of my favorite interior designers is Meg Braff. I fell in love with her years ago when I saw her beautiful bedroom at the Kips Bay Palm Beach Show House. I recently visited her fabulous new showroom in West Palm Beach on Georgia Ave. If you are in the South Florida/Palm Beach area, it is a must-see. The space is filled with furniture, chandeliers, lanterns, Meg Braff fabrics and wallpaper, and other fabulous pieces from mirrors to decorative objects and everything in between. Here is a sneak peek into the gorgeous space. Each room was more incredible than the next. For more information or to visit Meg’s website, click HERE.
