I am speechless! These new pieces by Kristin Morris are so fabulous that I am having writer’s block!

The turquoise pieces are PERFECT for  a bride that wants to change into something a little more sassy for her reception.  Why not do a wardrobe change? Keep your wedding guest guessing on what will happen next!

If you rock out this necklace, you might have to have security follow you around because every female will want one!

Dear Santa: Book Love

voer_signaturesasha1

I can wait to get my hands on this signature book and dive in!  When I was in Cali in July, Sasha and I went to a fun filled lunch and she was telling me about her book.  After months of waiting, it was on my Dear Santa List that went to the in-laws!  Congrats Sasha, we are so excited for you!

Book Love: The Energy Bus

image_068One of my clients ,who I admire her and her family’s energy,  told me about this book and how she requires all of her employees to read it .  To my sweet surprise she sent me a copy in the mail!  Being that I prefer People Magazine over most books due to my short attention span, I read this book cover to cover on a recent flight (where there is nothing else to do) and loved it!  This is a must read if you are ready to fuel your life, work, and team with positive energy.  Wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone had positive energy?!
