Shades of Gray

Is it grey or gray?  I'm never sure.  Anyway, I am sure that shade of gray - whether silver, charcoal or gunmetal - go with almost any wardrobe.  Plus it's just plain elegant.  While nothing beats black, gray comes in at a close second. 

Unfortunatley, however, gray can be a little drab.  To spice up my pieces, I included some sparkly rhinestones and unusual beads.  Check out some of my gray collection below.

Rhinestones Are a Girl's Best Friend

How much do I love rhinestones?!  They are so girly and glitzy, and they're the next best thing to diamonds! I've been inspired lately, by a coworker, who regularly sports some beautiful jewelry with these sparkly stones.  I've also been inspired by my usual vintage jewelry and all the rhinestones found in brooches and clip-ons.  This world needs a little more bling!  I created this long, dainty rhinestone necklace and added some pearls to make it ultra girly.  This piece would be great with a white or cream collared blouse.  The design is simple so the jewels speak for themselves.  Hope you like it!

Vintage Clip-Ons Get a Makeover

Remember those clip-on earrings from the past?  Some of them are super pretty, so I knew they had to be good for something.  (By the way, do they even make clip-ons anymore?)  They conveniently come in pairs, which is why I thought they'd make great bobbies.  Check them out:

I'm always looking for rhinestones for that extra sparkle. If anyone has any old clip-ons they no longer want or need, just contact me at ladyluxedesigns@yahoo.ca.  I'd love to repurpose them into something special!
