Comfy, Cozy Fall

The last of the Monarchs
I can't believe it's the middle of October! I've flown back and forth on JetBlue so many times that I'm never sure where I am when I first wake up.

Although it doesn't quite feel like fall in Manhattan Beach (I'm definitely not complaining about all the palm trees), Boston is definitely showing its true colors: reds, orange, and yellow of all the leaves starting to change. It's too pretty, and the crisp air has been cause for a wardrobe change.

Tailored coats and jackets are my favorite with leggings and boots. This pink Ralph Lauren blazer was a steal - my Mom and I were at the outlets and found this gem marked down from $900 to $100. It's a little too tailored for California's hippy chic, but maybe I could pull it off with tortoise shell Ray Bans. Wearing it here with Silk Road Pearls Pink Coin Pearls with Glass for $45.


Matching pink Sam Edelman flats give it an edge with the pretty pink spikes


And this herringbone jacket from Banana Republic (another snag with Momma Meade) is perfect for fall. These Corso Como boots from the Nordstrom sale are already getting tons of wear.


What are your favorite pieces for fall?

Just Your Style

As you found out last week, Silk Road Pearls has been doing some high profile custom work for clients like Lehigh University. There's more to come - things just move slowly! In the mean time, if you have a custom job you'd like done, we'd be pleased to help!

Silk Road Pearls's first wedding design

Little Ellie belly is too cute not to feature
From the new homepage on the Silk Road Pearls website, you already know we do custom colors for weddings, outfitting both brides and bridesmaids. But if you need a gift for family of the bride and groom, look no further than Silk Road Pearls.

Just recently a fellow Pi Phi ask to design a set of baby-sized pearls, a very sweet gesture for a niece arriving next spring! Push presents don't have to be expensive; they can still be beautiful and special with a personal touch in the design.

We're happy to accommodate your needs! Just email us at SilkRoadPearls@gmail.com with a little information to get us started:

- What the time frame for the gift/design is
- What colors you had in mind
- How many strands
- The length you were looking for

It's just that easy. Our favorite jobs are the ones where we have to get a little creative, so don't hesitate to ask!
