The summer is heating up - lots of sunshine and high temperatures.  

I want my summertime earrings to be an easy "go to".  

My Captiva earrings are just that for me.  Light and breezy.  They are even named after a sun soaked island!

Psst - there will be some changes coming 'round here.  No, I am not going anywhere, just switching things to keep it interesting!  If you want to be first in on anything new, then be sure to sign up to my email list!  

Choice is an interesting thing.  How do you know when you make "the right" choice?  For earrings or clothing, you can try it on (or see it on someone) and decide it is exactly right for you.  

But what do you consider when you make those life altering large choices?  Do you go with the flow?  Or do you take charge and make steps towards your goals?  Or does it really depend on the scenario how you exercise your choice?  

Generally, I have thought of myself as a "take charge" type person when it comes to the big decisions.  But I have also been known to follow a whim (like that time I came home with a puppy...).  What's your modus operandi when it comes to decisions?

Do you mask up?  I recently received an order of locally made masks from Evercoast Handmade and have begun wearing them in stores and on the bus.

Here, we created bubbles around us and now I feel some days that "my" space is being encroached upon.  So I choose to mask up when I am in situations where the bubble cannot be maintained because you just don't know with this virus. 

But, I do still wear my earrings and I take the mask on and off.  How do you do that with earrings?  Here's how:

Now you can earring up too!

Yesterday, I was talking tropical colours.  Today, let's talk hot earrings!

I am still on to the tropical colours - today it is grey out there, so the colours cheer me up.  

If you are actually experiencing hot tropical weather, earrings are a great jewelry choice.  They are not against your {sweaty} skin, like necklaces, bracelets or rings are.  

My two choices that add some bling and swing are the Majorca and the Catalina earrings.  Even the names are H-O-T!  How cheery is that?!

I do like to switch up my jewelry based on my mood and perhaps what I am wearing.  

My Isles collection is versatile that way.  All the pieces are made from my bronze coral reef beads and they can be mixed and matched depending on how you feel.  

Today, I am loving these Majorca Earrings.  See how they move?!

Ok, I admit it.  My favourites change regularly.  But right now I am loving my Captiva earrings.  Yesterday, I talked about my hair cut experience.  You can see I put on my go to earrings, both before and after the event.  

I love that they are simple and light.  I love that they have movement and are dangly.  

I love that they catch the light and can go from day to evening (if we were doing that right now...).  If you love them too, head on over to my shop and get yourself a pair!

Can you see the earrings under all that hair?  It's hair cut day, so hopefully you will see them afterwards.

My hair grows fast and is going more and more curly over time.  When I was a teenager, my hair would not hold the "Farrah Flip", even with curling iron applied.  

Now, I let my stylist guide my hair into something that works for me.  I am not into much fuss or much product to hold things in place, for that matter.  

So you can see, she tidied it up a lot.  But I am taking advantage of the forced "growth" and seeing if I can go for a new style.  Stay tuned...

PSST:  My Captiva earrings are available in my store.

I know - silly Easter pun.  I think we could all use some silliness in the face of the world situation right now, don't you?  

These are all my coral reef bead earrings - current (Skye and Minoan) and those to be released vewy vewy soon.  (The laughs just keep coming...)

Look for the collection release some time in the next week.  AND if you want to be first to shop these lovely earrings, then sign up to my email list, pronto.  

I know people who feel their outfit is not complete without earrings.  

And they have earrings for every occasion.

I like earrings too, so I decided to provide a variety for my upcoming release.  

There are dangles and drops and stacks - something for everyone!

A few years ago, I stumbled across a group of women celebrating mid-life and beyond on 50th day of the year (today).  I love what these women created: "a collaborative, supportive community and to celebrate what it means to be a woman over 50." (from founder Catherine Grace O - visit her blog to learn more) 

Embracing mid-life is empowering and enables you to be fierce.  This allows you to be you, without the hassle of trying to live up to some imagined standard.  And it is freeing you up to live the life you want to have.  Wander over to Jodie's Touch of Style for her post today about this revolution.  

Do you - Fiercely!

 PS:  I am wearing my Minoan Earrings - great for Fierceness!

I have been hinting that I have been developing a new collection.  With my hand carved bronze beads and gold filled chain.  

I have been playing around and creating some potential designs.  Like this single mini bead dangling on chain.

And this idea:  two mini beads, one hanging on chain from the other one.  The mini beads are light and airy; not too heavy for the ears.  

The new release is coming soon.  Be the first to shop it by signing up as an Insider below.

The Pico Azores necklace (large bead) and Minoan earrings (medium bead) are my current go to pairing of jewelry pieces.  

The necklace is eye catching and can be worn for every day and for dress up. I talk about how I took this set on my California vacation in this post.  

The earrings are dangly enough to catch the light, but classy too.  

You could say these pieces are bold, yet understated.  How about Elegantly Audacious?!
