I was reading blog posts during the Thanksgiving holidays, and one of my readers featured Shelli Poole of Sweet Clover Jewelry. Her jewelry is very pretty, she carries a lot of statement pieces and a pair of earrings caught my eye. So I went to her Etsy Shop and found out the earrings came in different colors. The "colors" I liked were black and smoke, but I couldn't decide which one I wanted. I only wanted to purchase one pair, because I wasn't sure how that particular style would look on me. While deciding, I introduced myself to Shelli via her blog (Sweet Clover Living which is super fun fabulous) and mentioned I would be purchasing a pair, but hadn't decided on whether to purchase them in black or smoke.
So before you SHOP...
1. I encourage you to support & shop from bloggers like Shelli.
2. I encourage you to support women entrepreneurship & businesses and
3. I encourage you to shop small businesses & local for your area.
The money goes straight to them, you get a fabulous product and in my case an awesome new blog buddy.

The earrings are fabulous and the black ones look amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely with you on the shopping front: I try to support small, independent businesses as much as possible (hence the "little shops" tag on my blog) and even buy food where possible from small specialists. Not always cheaper than the supermarket, but better quality and more personal.
Have a lovely weekend xo
Beautiful earrings! Very lovely :)
ReplyDeletethose look so pretty on, kim! i totally agree with you on supporting small and local! i'm going to keep my eye on etsy this year so that i can be ready for christmas this year!

The earrings are marvellous!! You look gorgeous in them, they really suit you!! And, I agree...shop small businesses first, there are many out there on etsy, ebay and in your own home towns, they should get your business first. And, I'm all for women run businesses too (though you know this ;) Will have myself a look too! Have a wonderful weekend doll!! xox

You are so spot on with this post, Kim! I'm trying to make more of a conscious effort to shop from smaller, emerging lines, both in effort to support new businesses and make my wardrobe unique. Your chandelier earrings from Shelli's shop was just gorgeous - I can't wait to see what other accessory experiments you'll be doing this year!

Love every bit of this post! Especially the daggling earrings . . .
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to accessorize more. I wear most of my jewelry on the weekends.
ReplyDeleteThese earrings are totally cute!
Those earrings are so pretty. I love shopping at small businesses or small online shops - it is nice to know someone handmade something

I don't even have my ears pierced, so you can probably guess where accessorizing is on my priority list. Really, I like to just have 4-5 really nice, classy necklaces that I can wear with pretty much everything.
ReplyDeleteShelli's jewelry looks really cute, though.
those are so pretty
ReplyDeleteKim! You know how much I love accessories. You go girl! Really pretty earrings. I've been lazy and wearing just studs lately, you just inspired me. Have a great weekend!

Hi Kim, I love that you feature the creativity of fellow bloggers, there are some amazing talents out there, like Sweet Clover Jewellery, these earrings are so pretty, just my style
ReplyDeleteWow, that was really nice of her! Great earring too.;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise to get two gorgeous pair of earrings instead of one :)
ReplyDeleteI actually like the smoke ones more, as they seem more versatile and the black ones might look too draatic during the day. But maybe I'm stuck in an accesorize rut just like you, as I haven't worn any other thing than my button pearl earrings in the last years!
great blog. wanna follow each other?
ReplyDeleteLove these Kim - the black ones are fab :) I used to wear earrings, but lately I don't really wear much jewelry - only really my rings:)
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is great and fun.
Take care sweets,

That's definitely 2 beautiful pairs which you've chosen. I like how it just hang and it look gorgeous on you. Simple and beautiful =)
ReplyDeleteThese earrings are lovely, just so beautiful. I want to accessorise more too.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely of Shelli to send you 2 pairs of earrings when she knew about your consideration. It is people like this that truly touches the customer at the emotional level.
ReplyDeleteYou look good in the earrings. They are of the right size. Not to big, not too small.
BTW, when I scrolled this post, the polka dot background of the 1st 3 pictures seem to have an optocal illusion effect. The box and dots seem to be moving!
love the earrings kim! I always try to support local business ... it is so important for the survival of our town. I hate to see shops closing and remaining empty. Hope you had a great weekend!
