Fashionable Friend Friday

This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is YOU!!, my incredible readers.  I am so appreciative of all your positive comments and words of praise.  You have inspired so many posts with your suggestions and inquires and passions.  Since I have started this blog,  I am constantly asked where is the best place to get gorgeous, reasonably price accessories for both yourself and your home.  I have decided to hold blog sales, periodically to bring high style to my readers at prices that fit all budgets.  I am so excited to introduce todays first sale.  The following are all one of a kind vintage necklaces, curated by me.  I have visited all my favorite vintage jewelry dealers, over the past few months, and have come up with a selection that I know you will love.  The best part is all of these necklaces are under $100.  Some of the proceeds go to Twig Antiques, to benefit the local EMS chapters.  So, you can shop for a good cause!   If you are interested in any piece, please email me at nicole@thesteinthals.com

High Tea

Yesterday my daughters and I attended a tea party.  It was so special.  A tea is such an elegant yet simple way to entertain.  I have been dying to host a tea for a while now.  Why not get your best ladies together an invite them over for a Mother’s Day tea?  Pull out your best silver pieces (silver plate!!) and china.  Serve finger sandwiches and petite desserts.  Its actually quite simple for such a lovely unforgetable afternoon.  Here are some ideas I have pulled together for you!  Pinkys up readers and Enjoy!!!!

Flare Jeans

Flare jeans are back!!  I love the look of a jean with a flared bottom.  They are so flattering on all body types. A flare leg dresses up an outfit and makes the jeans look less casual, more finished and sophisticated.  They look great with heels, wedges, ballet flats and pointed flats.  Here are some fantastic flare jeans looks!

Arbonne

I recently discovered the ultra-premium brand Arbonne. Arbonne products are vegan, green, toxin free and cruelty free. “Arbonne skincare products, based on botanical principles, became a reality in the United States in 1980 and are now shared throughout the world through the Arbonne network of Independent Consultants. Building on these same founding principles, the product line has since grown to include both inner and outer health and beauty products that are unparalleled in quality, safety, value, benefits and results.”  I have tried a few samples of their skin care and loved them so far. I can’t wait to try their Overnight Hydration Mask.   Arbonne also has a wonderful nutrition line that is gluten free and GMO free. If you click the image above you can view their complete product line.  Our local representative, Jill Kay (JillKay@myarbonne.com) is wonderful and will gladly answer any questions.  

Decorating with Blue and White

I love the look of blue and white accents in the home.  The ginger jars and lamps and other accessories are really beautiful and fit into so many decorating styles.  I have not been able to figure out where in my own home I can use these ideas, but I am always dreaming about how great it would be if I had an area that looked like one of those featured below.
