Hey my gems!

Okay so I have a hard time making my outfits pop in the Winter because I'm stuck with certain boots, sweaters, etc. So even though my outfit is bomb I don't always feel fabulous because I know people have already seen it. This season I've really been working on adding simple touches to my looks that don't add any prep time or require me shopping, because I'm trying to save time and money!

Saving time and money isn't easy when you love fashion. Lately, I've been digging into the items I own and seeing what I can work with or incorporate into my looks to make them a little more jazzed up. This is how I realized I actually own so much more jewelry than what I use.

I tend to stick to the same three pieces which include my graduation ring, my Pandora bracelet and a gold necklace. The thing is, for a long time I wouldn't mix yellow gold and silver jewelry. In fact, I barely wore my yellow gold jewelry because I only had a few pieces and I was never a fan of the color.

I started wearing my jewelry more often to add some sparkle and shine to my re-worn outfits and that's when I started mixing white and yellow gold. This is 100% my new styling obsession. Add some glam to any look and make it pop even more by mixing silver and gold tones. First of all when done right, this is such a classy and elegant look. Not to mention it makes an outfit go from everyday to every-slay!

So here are a few things to remember when wearing jewelry and mixing colors and tones! Over doing it can completely ruin the look so try to be understated, classy but definitely shine. Try to mix with colors that work well for example, wearing white and black means you can play more with your jewelry but if your outfit is busy with patterns and colors, maybe consider toning the jewelry down! Also, it's amazing to have big statement making pieces but that means toning down the little additions. Whereas a ring or two, can mix much more with bracelets and necklaces than a huge chunky choker could. Don't forget to keep the shine and sparkle in mind. The shine of your jewelry draws attention so don't go full glam to an office meeting, or wear that diamond encrusted watch to McDonald's. Know when and where to use your shine and dig deep into your sparkle.

Moral of this post? Live it up my queens with gold, silver and anything else you wish!
Talk soon,
Tia

New Year Update!

 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute ...
