Accessory Friday-jilli designs and Birds Nest Bags

This week we have two different accessories for you. Last week we totally forgot about one of our favorites that won the On The Rise Award from Style Bakery, so we will cover that now. First though is a beautifully stunning bracelet made by jilli designs, the Floral Multistrand Chain Bracelet. This piece is gold-filled and has fresh water pearls, peridot, tourmaline buds, and ruby and citrine flowers all inside a little gold frame with multistrand chains. It is adjustable between 6 3/4" and 8" in length. This is such a unique and striking design, it instantly became a much desired accessory. If you like this bracelet, you may also be interested in the gold version (as apposed to the gold-filled), the 4 Strand Floral Chain Pendant, the Floral Cuff, the Floral Link Bracelet, and the Floral Vine Bracelet.

The winner of the Reader's Choice Award for Handbags at Style Bakery, the Birds Nest Bags are designed as an alternative to the super expensive Kate Spade, Gucci, and other designer purses that not everyone can afford while also celebrating colors, textures, and patterns. There are so many that we think are great, but the top ones are the Chocolate Toile Katie, the Amarillo Las Pratagas Cigar Box Purse, the Tropical Punch Tracy Purse (with bamboo handle), and the Black Polka Dots Tiffany (only two are left so hurry!). The purses all have different types and lengths of handles, and they are willing to listen to you if you'd like a purse they have with a slight alteration, like an added ribbon.
