Memory Keeping

#ad-I was provided this product by Messages in Metal; all the opinions are my own.

Hi pretties,
It has been some time since I blogged and I am so happy to be back today with a very personal post. Sadly, over the last 2 years, my family dynamic has changed with the passing of my Sister and my Dad. I would say 2018 has proven to be quite challenging, but even those words do not seem adequate with the passing of my Twin Brother earlier this year. Of course I miss them all terribly, but the passing of my sister and brother hit me especially hard. The three of us could not have been more different – John the tech guy, me the goody two shoes, and Nickey the rebel! We shared a love of anything with wheels and science fiction and defended each other fiercely against anyone, including our parents. I have so many funny memories of the three of us that will live on in my heart, but when Messages in Metal reached out to me, I discovered a very special way to keep them close.

Messages in Metal

This is a Montana based company that makes personalized jewelry to celebrate all the special moments and special people in our lives. These metal pieces are crafted in .925 silver and come with a chain. Some pieces are offered in gold plating and with beautiful Swarovski gemstones. I chose the infinity design with the names of my brother and sister.

Simple packaging in classic black and white.

Absolutely perfect – Infinity Necklace in .925 Sterling Silver

Happy, together again!

I am so happy with my pendant, it shipped quickly after ordering. It is very well made, feels light but is substantial. The Messages in Metal website has many options in the size, shape, and type of pendant. This is a perfect way for me to honor my siblings and keep them close to my heart. Please visit the website to see all of their unique pieces.

Fall Trends Under $25

October 26, 2016 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

three-trends-under-25-on-roincharmagne

Hello pretties,
Fall fashion trends are in full effect and today I am spotlighting three of my favorites for October- bomber jackets, booties, and statement necklaces. How fun is it to jazz up your style with a new trend and there is no reason to spend a whole bunch of coins! I handpicked 9 examples of trends all under $25, yep a jacket, or booties, or a statement necklace at this amazing price point.

Who does not love a bargain?? Especially this time of year as we gear up for holiday shopping?? I have said many times on robincharmagne, fashion does not have to be expensive. Now, of course you can wear all these trends together in a cute outfit or try a flowy midi skirt with the bomber, a sweater dress with the booties, or add just the right touch of pizazz to an LBD(little black dress) with the statement necklace.

How would you style one of these trends?

Monogram Box Subscription Service

March 7, 2016 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

mono-box-cover-robinchamagne

Hello,
I received my first Mono Box over the weekend. I really hate the name shortened to Mono…LOL, short for the Monogrammed Subscription Box. Y’all know I have an obsession and yes it is an obsession with personalized any and everything. So I was stoked to begin this subscription service from I Love Jewelry. Take a peek at my happy mail…

mono-box-contents-robincharmagne

mono-box-tshirt-robincharmagne

I loved everything in this mono box. In a soft white color, the t-shirt is good quality and in a little different fabrication. The fabric looks similar to the burnout style and is very lightweight. The monogram is in gold and is a good size just perfect for a t-shirt. To add interest, the monogram is placed along the hem, versus in the chest area.

mono-box-earrings-robincharmagne

The earrings are gold tone, but in a unique shape. They are solid but do not feel heavy at all. This is not just your boring hoop earring.

mono-box-long-necklace-robincharmagne

And the long necklace has a monogrammed gold disc suspended from a crystal and pearl chain. The chain is a good length and perfect for layering with other jewelry pieces.

Every item in this box has something to add a little extra flair. To get started, first, you select the metal color, since I wear my gold watch most of the time, I chose gold-tone. Next, you choose your initials or any letters you choose. For my sorority girls, good gift since you can enter letters, i.e. AKA. And then you select the clothing size. I would like to see them expand the sizing options. Then each month you receive 3 items – one monogrammed item which could be clothes or jewelry and two surprise items which might be earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, sunglasses, decals, lip gloss/polish or a pouch. Remember it’s a surprise. This subscription service is well priced at $21.95 a month and would make a very unique gift idea for anyone that shares my obsession with personalized jewelry and gifts.

Can’t think of anything negative about this service, so fun and the quality of the items was better than expected at this price point.

What do you think of this subscription box? Do you participate in a subscription service?

Tropical Fun – OOTD #59

May 27, 2015 by robincharmagne 18 Comments

Hello there,
Yesterday was not bad at all. That first day back from a holiday is usually very busy, but it was rather quiet. I mentioned I really didn’t do a whole lot over the weekend, but I wasn’t a total couch potato and wore today’s OOTD on Saturday. Traditionally, the Memorial Day weekend begins the vacation travel season which inspired thoughts of traveling to a tropical locale…take a peek!

OOTD – #36 Cold Shoulder

June 18, 2014 by robincharmagne 12 Comments

Hello,
I don’t wear dresses very often in the OOTD, but I decided to grab one of my favorite dresses – a real steal from Ross at $22 bucks. It’s all about the cold shoulder today. This is one of my favorite styles as the shoulder is sexy but not too revealing. I’ve taken this dress on a few vacations because it is versatile enough to be casual during the day with flat sandals or dressed up at night with heeled sandals. I paired it with a nude sandal with buckle detail (similar here and here) and basic jewelry.

Try the Trend

A top is an easy way to try the cold shoulder trend. Michael Kors makes some really cute tops. These two are super cute in a neutral and a print.

Do you rock the cold shoulder trend?

Now, $225 buys lots of cold shoulder tops and dresses? Enter The July 4th Star Spangled Giveaway HERE!
