Be Healthy, Fit and Wear Jewelry

Today I attended the EA SPORTS Active Launch in NYC. I meet with the first 12 people from across the country who have completed the 30 Day Challenge using Active. I even got a chance to try out the demo of EA SPORTS Active a day before it came out in stores. Score!

Naturally for a cool but hands on event like this the jewelry needed to be understated but still was a must. But what to wear? My outfit was preppy casual. I did wear jeans since I was going to do some of the workouts. But I wore a semi dressy top in a dusty blue. Now I wanted jewelry that was simple but funky to fit the casual jean look.

I chose to go with my silver plated goddess earrings and necklace set. You might remember I blogged about this design for my "spring interpretation" for the monthly merry-go-round assignment. I think I made a good choice.  Sadly I didn't remember to get a close up photo during the event. I guess I was too busy have a good time and meeting people.

Speaking of meeting people... I met Jessica Smith of Jessica Knows, one of the challengers and one of my twitter friends on my personal twitter ID. We struck up a very interesting conversation about fashion and styling.

This convo led her to introduce me to her personal stylist Debbie Wright of Project Closet (www.projectcloset.com), who then joined me in talking about using jewelry to enhance and dress up a simple everyday outfit. We both agreed that sometimes just adding a little touch...a pair of gold earrings or a simple chain, does wonders for an outfit and adds a pick me up feeling.

Who would have thought jewelry would be a topic at the EA SPORTS Active Launch. Goes to show you never know...

When I'm Not Making Jewelry

Over in my personal life I've been attending a lot of promotional events as a blogging mom to highlight different companies and all that cool jazz. Since this takes time away from my jewelry making and selling, I've been trying to find ways to mentally keep jewelry making on my and then hopefully in my hands.

I think I found a way! A recent comment from Anne of AL Creations said I should wear my own jewelry. Duh! Why didn't I think of that? Well, I decided to take that advice.  So when I was invited to attend the opening bell ceremony at NASDAQ with 1800Flowers I made sure to plan a complete look...jewelry included.

Bet your wondering which one of my jewelry designs I wore.  As you can see from the photo I chose to be pretty in pink.  After all this was an event to celebrate Mothers Day =).  

The jewelry of choice was.... a combination of my Chunky Rhodonite Nugget & Silver Necklace, Bracelet and Earrings set. Normally I sell each item individually but I think going forward I'll start selling as a set. They really went so nice together and photographed well during the event. I don't think I look so bad in the photos either. Ha

Like the set and want one of your own?
