Fashion: LOFT Beaded Pave Metal Stretch Bracelet


Statement cuff bracelets are a fantastic way to perk up your wardrobe. Whether it’s a pop of color, or a dash of sparkle, I always find myself turning to accessories to dress up a more classic outfit. As a result, I couldn’t resist this sparkly Moroccan-inspired Beaded Pave Metal Stretch Bracelet from LOFT. A great mix of gems and beads, it appeals to my inner magpie while offering an exotic element to my jewelry collection. As someone with a very small wrist, the stretch bracelet also fits perfectly, which is fantastic because so many non-stretch bangle bracelets and cuffs do not.

Spotted in an email from LOFT, I purchased this bracelet during a recent 40% off sale (score!) at their recently remodeled location inside Boston’s Prudential Center, but it is also available online at the full price of $34.50.

Recipe: Vanilla Chai Berry Banana Smoothie

With the temperatures increasing, I’ve been craving smoothies again. There are so many ways to craft a delicious smoothie, but for me it’s typically a mix of frozen berries or bananas, spinach, non-dairy milk, coconut water and protein powder. For my most recent smoothie, I went with a c[...]

Beauty: A Pop of Color with Clarins Lipstick

While at a wedding recently, a friend remarked, “I’m impressed that we are well into cocktail hour and your lipstick is still holding strong.” It’s not often that someone comments and compliments my lip color, but I suppose that’s to be expected when embracing the brigh[...]

Travel: Throwback – Regent’s Park London May 2004

While browsing through old photos, I stumbled upon one of my favorite snapshots of Regent’s Park in London. Snapped in May 2004 during my semester abroad in London, Regent’s Park was my favorite place to stroll, study and enjoy. It’s no surprise that it still holds a special place [...]
