Loren Hope Designs

Happy Hump Day readers!

Student teaching is continuing to go wonderfully.  I have connected with lots of my students already and am especially fond of a special education student in my class.  Seeing the glimmer in his eye when we interact melts my heart.

Additionally, thanks to everyone who offered to do a guest post--I have not forgotten you!  I am slowly, but surely emailing volunteers to line up dates and guest posts.  If you have not yet heard from me, you will!

For today's post I wanted to blog about the most fabulous jewelry designer:  Loren Hope Designs.

About a month ago I won a giveaway from Trish (aka Pink Preppy Lilly Lover)--the giveaway was for Loren Hope's Lilly necklace.  I had the option of choosing pink or turquoise.  I chose turquoise and could not be happier with my new necklace.

Lilly Necklace

It arrived beautifully wrapped and with a personal note from Loren

I even wore it to my bloggy meet-up with cAc!

Since getting the necklace I have perused much of Loren's other pieces and am in love.  What I love about her jewelry is their unique mix of bold and classic looks.  So many of her pieces really make a statement and will have heads turning.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Elizabeth Necklace

I've had dreams about this necklace...SWOON!

Athena Earrings

I can picture these earrings with so many outfits.

Farrah Necklace

How cool is this?  I'm picturing it paired with a body hugging LBD!

Black Onyx Earrings

I have one word to describe these:  ELEGANCE!

Morocco Necklace

I would love to wear 2 or 3 of these necklaces together

Have you heard of Loren Hope Designs?  Do you prefer bold, statement jewelry or a more classic look?  What are your favorite jewelry designers?

Have a great day!
