WHAT I WORE WEDNESDAY......

Today I took all of my children (yes, all 5) plus my visiting niece and nephew.....and we through in my oldest daughter's boyfriend to make them and even 8. lol

I have worn this dress before but didn't take any photos, so today I wore it a little different but I love the dress and get so many compliments.  I actually won it from fellow blogger Folake from Style Pantry fashion/lifestyle blog.  It's from her shop by the name of WeWe Clothing

This is the Kimmy dress from WeWe Clothing fabric is so yummy and soft Im always grabbing it up.

I always have a wrist full of bangles (guess Ive never let go of my black rubber Madonna days)

The double chain ring is from  Mama J Jewels along with a few of the bracelets.   The beaded bracelet with button closure is from fellow blogger Kelsey and her shop Smitten By A Promise

I love the detail on this dress, it's simple but so beautiful.

Here is the bottom detailing of the dress.   I paired it with my hot pink thong sandals today (I was going to be doing a lot of mall walking with those kids)

Here is a shot of the back strap detail (this is also a rare view of one of my back tattoos..this is my husband's Marine Corp dog tags)

The top of the Kimmy dress is so pretty.  This dress is also available is different colors

Last shot of the day in front of my newly painted Hoosier cabinet on my backyard deck.

Hope you all will go over to WeWe Clothing and see all the beautiful clothing available for adults and children.   You can also follow them on Facebook

Please excuse my squinting but it was extremely hot and sunny here today in Jersey.

So excited today....Im always linked into Twitter and Facebook.  But, today as Im reading my favorite fashion bloggers post and drooling over the photos I spot something.  What your thinking?     My Te Amo necklace from the Mama J Jewels jewelry collection sold in my Etsy shop.

She had purchased the his/her set a few weeks back but never did I imagine she would wear it in one of her fabulous posts.

You can find it here

Folake looking fabulous as usual.

Check out her fashion blog Style Pantry

Thank you Folake for rocking the Mama J Jewels piece in your post.   It does look fabulous with that H&M dress...I might just have to go snatch it up. lol

ROMANTICA COLLECTION

I've been a busy Mama these past few weeks and I wanted to share some more pieces from my new jewelry & accessory line.  I have opened the Mama J Jewels Etsy shop and have been working very hard to launch some unique pieces.

The London Bridge necklace

The Ivory Rose necklace

The Garden Goddess necklace

These items are from the Romantica collection which is created with an old world style.  They are reminiscent of the American Victorian, English, Roman, Greek era's.   Items are handcrafted.

I hope you will all take a moment to check out some of the new items in the shop.

NEW ITEMS LISTED

Those of you who check in with me regularly  know that I have finally launched my jewelry & accessories line on Etsy called Mama J Jewels/.  My shop is divided into jewelry boxes and each has it's own distinct name & style.  

I thought I would show you one of the new items just listed (it's very personal to me)

This is my military promise/support ring

As a USMC wife myself this is a great way to show your support for your Marine or soldier.  This ring is made from USMC Woodland BDUs and mounted to a lucky U.S penny and an antique copper or bronze base.

I have also done a Navy version to honor all the sailors and their loved ones.  I have all military branches available.

A portion of the sales of this ring will go to towards care packages for soldiers on deployment.

Hope you will show your support!

Check out Mama J Jewels on Etsy and see what other items are already listed and check back to see what new items will be popping up.

Im linking this up to a textile party in hopes of meeting new fabulous fabric artisians

FINALLY....SNEAK PEEK OF JEWELRY LINE

Okay so this is the same accessory/jewelry line that was supposed to launch January 1st but I've been quite busy.

Nursery move & makeover
Bedroom move & makeover
Hallway makeover
Dining room makeover
Bathroom re-do

All while caring for 5 children and my fabulous husband, sometimes I must put things aside to take care of what is important.

Now that everything is almost complete in home improvements.  I finally got the shop opened on Etsy.  I decided to dedicate a separate shop just for the jewelry & accessory line.... Mama J Jewels is my new shop.

Im just loading up some pictures today from one of the categories (jewelry boxes) in the shop called Ripped...it features accessories made from upcycled items and recycled materials.

I will still continue to make things that are eco-friendly as i do in my Lucky 7 Design home accessory line. I think that it's important to try to be as green as possible, and this allows me to do so and be creative as well.

Here are a few pics from a few of the lines....hope you will stop by and check out the shop throughout the week to see new items.
