The concert venue was spectacular! Gorgeous mountain views, picturesque grape vines, and a killing sound system. I plan on seeing a few more concerts at this venue before the end of 2011!

Yours,

My grandmother (more fondly known as "Gram"), is not only one of the most kind people I know, but she also happens to possess the BEST taste in all things jewelry! Every time I visit she shows me just a bit more of her extensive collection of necklaces, rings, and bracelets. She is the inspiration of this post as I have photographed some of my favorite pieces of jewelry to share with you:

Bedazzled tiger cocktail ring:

Vintage Givenchy bracelet gifted 

to me by my close friend Robyn:

Faux turquoise earrings from F21:

Vintage necklace purchased at the 

Santa Cruz Antique Fair for $2 :

Pendant necklace purchased from BCBG:

My favorite piece in my collection:

Gram herself had this ring made for me upon my graduation. Stunning Jade, Luminous pearls, and 

sparkling peridot set in gold: 

I never leave the house without accessories... 

I think I can thank Gram for that mentality. 

Yours,

Nico
