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.

Fashion or Faith

March 31, 2013 by robincharmagne Leave a Comment

Hello Pretties,
A special Sunday post. This post was prompted by a shopping trip I took to Miami last year to Shecky’s Girls Night Out. The jewelry trend that stood out was the cross as jewelry. As a Christian, I’m conflicted about this trend and using it in my accessory choices. The cross was a method of execution, a painful slow death, most notably used on Jesus Christ. You can find cross shaped jewelry in bracelets, earrings, and necklaces.

My First OOTD – Emerald and Black

March 6, 2013 by robincharmagne 24 Comments

Hello Pretties,
OK, today is my first OOTD (Outfit of the Day) post. In these posts, bloggers “model” current fashion trends anything from skinny jeans, florals, graphic sweaters, to camouflage, gladiator sandals, you name the trend and you will find a blogger wearing it in an OOTD. After 5 months of blogging, I figured it was time for me to jump in! So today, I’m on the catwalk in Emerald Green and Black! I betta werk!

Details:
Tunic – c/o of Gwynniebee
Pants(old) – Lane Bryant
Boots(old) – HSN
Purse(old) – Kate Spade
Jewelry – Charming Charlie

Whew, that wasn’t so bad! Stepped out of my comfort zone into the spotlight. I’m much more comfortable researching the latest trends or sharing a DIY project. Growth occurs when we stretch ourselves just a little bit outside of what’s easy or what comes natural to us. But I have to admit, it was a ton of fun! I may just do it again!

How are you stepping out of your comfort zone? Did I werk it?

I’m link partying this week with some fashionable bloggers:
