Leave it to me to talk shop while sweating through Body By Simone class. But thanks to a fellow in-the-know exerciser, I actually scored some great finds like this monogrammed (for $22!!), this scalloped stationary set andthe above initialed gold-plated signet from wellness-central !

My new gold heart necklace, above, came with a whole lot of love--given to me and designed by my dear friend Molly Sims--and is getting a whole lot of love! The compliments are flowing like crazy.

(Of course, my beloved gold link necklace and turquoise pendant is by , dress by , on sale, and bikini by .)

This kind of flower power will get me through springs eternal.

My letter pendant, above, is one of the best gifts I've ever received--from myself! I love how it pops against both sweaters and bare skin--and it even works as an earring (on a huggie). And it doesn't come off as precious, just pretty. Especially paired with something lacy, like , , and . (My gold chain link necklace is by .)

As you can see, a little faux shearling does a lot for denim. (It runs big, so I sized down.)
