Apartment 34 Sponsor {Keri L. Designs}

One of my new year's resolutions is to remember the accessories! It's amazing what the pop a set of bangles or the sizzle a good necklace can bring to an otherwise tame look. You can see my latest fave example of well-accessorized look here.

That's why I'm so excited to welcome our latest sponsor, Keri L. Designs jewelry. It's a killer line LA-based line of bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings and (one for the boys!) cuff links.




All of Keri's pieces are infused with the perfect combo of California-cool and big-city edge that makes her them workwear appropriate and eye-catching all at the same time! I think the bullnose necklace is going to have to be mine. 


If you would like to reach thousands of editors, writers, influential bloggers and style savvy readers around the world, then consider sponsoring Apartment 34!

We are now accepting sponsorship requests for February. Apartment 34 provides sponsorship options and rates with small creative businesses in mind.

Apartment 34 Holiday Gift Guide

While fabulous gift guides abound this time of year, there is just too much goodness out there to not share a few favorite picks of my own, especially since they all come from my beloved Apartment 34 sponsors!

There's nothing that I love more than seeing the eyes of someone near and dear light up with the perfectly picked gift and I know you cannot go wrong with any of these choices.



#1 Wrap your wrists is style with the Gorjana Graham leather wrist wrap. I'm certainly a sucker for lots of wrist adornment

#2 Decorate your favorite seat with a bit of beauty and heart. Comfort & Samuel pillows are sustainably handmade in Africa!

#3 Give a precious friend some semi-precious stones with this stunning Agate bracelet by Wendy Mink. The color palette of grey and warm brown just might be my new favorite.

#4 If you're feeling the need to luxuriate a little bit, well, really a lot, this Hoss Intropia vest featured at my one of my favorite local Seattle-area boutiques, Promesse, is touchable-soft (trust me, I've touched it!) and will make you very popular at your holiday soiree!

#5 A go-to clutch is a must this time of. I love how the Gorjana Hudson Frame clutch is day-appropriate and holiday-fete ready with that pop of gold.

#6 Dressing on the Side tees are the sweetest treat. Because a cheeky tee never goes out of style.

#7 Cocktail rings are the ultimate accessory and a girl can never have too many - especially when they're rose quartz by Wendy Mink. I'd happily take one for each hand!

#8 Every year I find myself totally behind on my holiday card list, but a Happy New Year card solves all my problems - I think you can get away with sending them all the way 'till February at least!

#9 Wouldnt' it be great to mark each major milestone in your life with a signature scent? (I did that with our honeymoon. Now every time I spritz it on I think of Venice!). Misaki perfume from Cameo Nouveau looks just as good on your bathroom counter as it smells on you!

Happy shopping and happy giving!

I just couldn't resist sharing this fabulous holiday sentiment today as we've got the Christmas music turned up and the tree a-sparkling. It also looks like Chloe may have posed for this card!

Cyber Monday Special

Now that we're all back at our desks and in front of our computer screens I suspect you, like me, are trolling for the best Cyber Monday deals.

Well, look no further than new Apartment 34 sponsor Gorjana. The California-based accessories company packs a powerful punch with their gorgeous designs ~ really anything a girl needs to kick their wardrobe up a notch! Here are just a few pieces I'm coveting.




And today only Gorjana is offering an extra special deal - 25% off all jewelry and handbags. So run, don't walk your fingers over to your keyboard and hit up Gorjana.
