Each year as fashion week rolls around, newly introduced shoes, handbags, and trends appear on the horizon. However, another category that is highly anticipated is the trends in new Jewelry. Newly introduced Jewelry styles bring maximum excitement to lovers of fashion.
Have you ever asked yourself if your outfit is complete without adding a special earring or another piece of Jewelry? Jewelry just adds more beauty to an outfit. There are a few trends in Jewelry for the Fall of 2020, ranging from elegant and polished to glamorous and bold. And you can find them all at TradeGets’ Fashion Jewelry.
Channeling the Victorian era, all designers are seizing influence from decades of ideas. You will see this era reflected in the earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces shown throughout the Fall. Here are some of the trends we are looking forward to seeing in the next few months:
- Monarch Pearl Choker Necklace
Pearls are having their moment. The monarch choker necklace is beautiful on its own or layered with other necklaces of different lengths.
2. Spike Jewelry
Time to add a little edge to your wardrobe. Spiked accent jewelry is all the rage right now. If you don’t want to go for a full choker look how about trying a cool bracelet?
3. Gold Hoop Earrings
Whether you choose solid gold or costume, gold hoops are here to stay. They are such a classic find. A beautiful gold hoop elevates any outfit. It is a must-have for one’s jewelry wardrobe.
4. Heart Necklaces
I keep seeing posts of very fashionable ladies wearing some really gorgeous heart necklaces. Whether it be an irregular elongated heart or a broken style, a heart necklace is the thing to have. Rather than wearing it alone, you may choose to include some of your most loved chains to create a cool layered look.
5. Chunky Chains
A statement chunky chain is the thing to add to your wardrobe this Fall.. During Fashion week, many top models chose chunky gold chokers and Lucite necklaces as their go to Jewelry for all the different events.
Another option is a glittery silver chain to give your outfits a completely modern look just as seen in the shows. A Chucky silver chain will definitely help you to get noticed whether you are wearing a fancy dress or casual jeans.
6. Single Earnings
Putting on single earring is not a new style of dressing. The amazing thing is that this trend of mismatching pairs of earrings has been around for a while. There are many fashion houses such as Fendi that have added these accessories to their Jewelry collections.
7. Sanibel statement ring
Here’s the ring to give your fingers a perfect look. Every girl should own a center stone (Sanibel) statement ring. The more colorful the stone the better. And certain styles with thinner bands can even be stacked for more drama.
8. Shoe Jewelry
Some people believe that when it comes to Jewelry, it is only worn on the hands, neck, ears,. etc For Fall 2020 many fashion houses such as Zimmermann (one of my favs) make fascinating out of the box Jewelry. They do this by adding different beautiful chains and other embellishments to certain shoe styles. The chain adorned mesh pumps by Bottega seen last season that was so popular is a perfect example of the way this look is going. Keep a lookout for jeweled shoes all Fall long.
9. Pearl everything
It’s so exciting to know that for another season, Pearls are here to stay. This year, you should expect to see designers adding these to their lines more and more in all shapes and sizes, such as the ones that were seen at Jason Wu during fashion week. Pearls either cultured or faux, add a feminine and timeliness touch to any outfit.

There are a lot of lifestyle changes that come with being a homeowner. Maintaining your home is a big part of this, and it can be scary when you find yourself facing an issue for the first time. Since the weather here in the North East has been so unpredictable in the past few years, many home repairs and damages have had to be dealt with. How will you deal with this when it happens to you? Some people will freeze up and leave it up to insurance what to do, while others will take a more active approach, making mistakes along the way. To help you with this, this post will be exploring three of the most common household issues and some of the tools that can be used to solve them.
Electrical Outages
Power cuts can be frightening, leaving you in the dark and unable to use things like the internet to get help. It can be all too easy to panic in this situation, but you need to be cool, with most power cuts being caused by the fuse box in your home. When a fuse is tripped, the little switch that comes with it will move, and you need only reset it to get the power working again. Of course, though, you should always have the number of a local electrician on your phone, as this will make it much easier to get help if the fuse box isn’t the problem.
Leaks
Leaks can cause huger amounts of structural damage over time, especially when materials like concrete are in the picture. You should work to combat leaks as soon as you can, and this process starts with finding the source. Open windows, fillable holes, and other small issues can usually be solved by yourself, but you may need some help if you have a bigger leak to contend with. Plumbers, roof repair companies, and even normal construction teams can deal with leaks, but only in their specific area of expertise. This makes it worth calling aground the find the right help for issues like a slab leak or roof leak.
Pests
Unwanted animal visitors can cost a small fortune to deal with when you don’t have the right resources, and this can be very scary when you experience it for the first time. Insects like mites, slugs, and other small creepy crawlies can often be removed with spray solutions that can be found online. Wasps, bees, and other dangerous bugs need to have a professional to deal with them, though. Larger animals can also be hard to manage, and this often makes it worth simply calling an expert to make sure that you don’t make a mistake that could make the situation a lot worse.
Home maintenance can be a difficult process, with many people facing challenges along the way especially in hazardous weather areas but it will all be worth it in the end. Be at ever so humble there is not place like home!!!
It’s so hard to believe that Tuesday was the first day of Fall. To celebrate I made this really really good Wild Rice soup. MY family LOVES soup all year round but I feel like I make it so much in the fall and winter. We literally have it 2 or 3 times, some weeks!!! My husband does not love mushrooms so I left them out but other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it was a HIT!!!!! I am so happy. I made mine on the stovetop but I am def going to try the crockpot version next time. Bon Appetit!!!

- Cook on high for 2-3 hours, until the rice, is cooked and tender.
- During the final 10 minutes of slow cooking, prepare your cream sauce on the stove. In a medium saucepan, cook the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Whisk in the flour until combined, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add in the milk, and whisk until combined. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture nearly comes to a simmer and has thickened. (It should be very thick.)
- Add the cream sauce and kale to the soup, and stir gently until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper (plus any extra Old Bay seasoning, if you would like) as needed.
- Serve warm. Or transfer to sealed container(s) and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
STOVETOP METHOD:

- Meanwhile, during the final 10 minutes, prepare your cream sauce in a separate saucepan on the stove. In it, cook the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Whisk in the flour until combined, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add in the milk, and whisk until combined. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture nearly comes to a simmer and has thickened. (It should be very thick.)

I’m not complaining…I am so happy everyone is safe and sound but honestly its time for a change of scenery. My anniversary was last Saturday and my husband suggested we go to Newport to celebrate. I love Newport. It such a pretty area, the Mansions of the Gilded age are fabulous. I have toured them with my mom but never with my husband so I was excited to do that together. We spent a lot of time wandering around the Breakers, the Vanderbilt mansion but the Elms, Marble House and Rosecliff are also spectacular. We saw the Warhol exhibit “Big Shot” at the Newport Museum of Art, which I loved. Also, the restaurants in Newport are amazing…HERE is a guide to some of the best..However, I love the Chanler and Castle Hill. And you have to check out the Top of Newport Bar at the Viking Hotel!! Here are some of the highlights of our little getaway. As you can see I really really loved it…I hope I inspired you to have your own little change of scenery trip!!!! Bon Voyage!!!
If you know an avid sportsman and are not familiar with their hobbies, it might not be easy to find and purchase the perfect gift for them. Sportsmen are a special breed and enjoy the outdoors as well as hobbies like hunting, camping, fishing and sailing. They may enjoy playing sports as well as watching them. Fortunately, you can purchase quite a few gifts for them as long as you know what activities they enjoy.
Sports Watches
Sports watches are a very special type of watch. They come in various brands, but one of the premier and most well-known companies for sports watches is Alpina Watches. These watches are designed to look beautiful and take abuse. They are usually shockproof, water-resistant and scratch-resistant. In other words, they are meant to be worn outdoors, where they come into contact with various substances and situations. Sports watches are a classic gift for almost any sportsman.
Rain Gear
Since the average sportsman spends a lot of time outdoors, a good set of rain gear is necessary. They come in all sizes and colors so you can pick their favorite and their size. You can get rain gear in just jackets, a jacket and pant set or an overcoat. There are also hooded and non-hooded styles. When you purchase rain gear, make sure that it fits with what the sportsman likes to do. If they like to hunt or fish, then camo might be best, or if they like boating or sailing a full suit that will handle salt spray might be a good idea.
Specialty Packs and Vests
There are backpacks and bags for almost all sportsmen. These are bags that contain items that the sportsman would like to have handy. Hunting bags usually contain storage for shells, calls and gear that makes hunting easier. The fishing bags usually contain space for fishing gear, line and other tackle. Each of these also comes in a wearable vest as well as a bag. Some of these bags contain the items that a sportsman needs pre-packed, and others just have storage space.
Water Storage Bags
These handy items allow a hiker, camper or mountain hunter to carry a surprisingly large amount of water with relative ease. Instead of carrying a canteen, they can carry a water storage bag, backpack or vest. They are handy and keep the sportsman hydrated without adding noise or too much weight to their pack. Water storage bags may also be called dromedaries and are normally polyurethane-lined, so they do not leak.
Life Straws
Life Straws are another solution to hydration. Relatively new on the market, they are a water filtering straw. The Life Straw filters out bacteria and waterborne parasites, reducing the need to boil water from rivers and other areas. These are great for hiking, hunting, fishing and camping in out of the way places. The newer versions of the Life Straw like the Life Straw Go have better filtration and sediment clearing than the older versions, so even if they have one already, a new one will be appreciated.
Camping Equipment
High-quality camping equipment is always a great gift for the avid sportsman. There are quite a few items and item sets that you can purchase. One of the more popular camping items is a camp stove. There is also a wide variety of tents, lanterns, sleeping bags and other equipment that you can purchase. You can always ask which items they already have and which they need so you do not duplicate items. With all of the new camping gadgets coming out, there is always something they need or want to try.
Windbreakers and Pullovers
Both windbreakers and pullovers make great gifts for an outdoorsman. These are essential for some of the harsh, cold and wet conditions they may encounter. They are designed to be warm and comfortable even in the worst possible conditions. They come in many colors and materials so you can pick the one that fits your sportsman’s personality the best. Some of them have removable liners, hoods and other accessories, so they are great for multiple conditions and climates.
No matter what a sportsman is into, there are gifts available for them. Purchasing something for their outdoor hobby or sport is both thoughtful and personal.
