Some habits are simply too haute to break!

Hey Divas,

Reunited and it feels sooo good! 😛

OK. I’m just gonna jump right out there and say it…I’m in love! Yes ladies it’s true. I’ve been smitten into full-blown rapture by Stone Savant Jewelry and I can no longer contain my feelings for this fabulous collection. ♥ ♥ ♥ You see, everyone knows that I have an affinity for fabulous jewelry, but, what many don’t know is that placing me within arms (or neck) reach of haute accessories is like dangling a baby rattle in front of a two month old. 😀 I know I know…its pretty bad, but hey every girl has her vice, and mine just so happens to be Stone Savant jewelry. There…I said it. 😀

But before I’m served with a restraining order, 😛 let me tell you how my adoration for this fabulous collection of handcrafted jewelry came about…

Earlier this year I was invited by Janelle Langford of Urban Suite PR to attended a photo shoot for the launch of Stone Savant’s Spring 2012 collection and I immediately fell in love with the collection. I mean, the pieces are absolutely stunning and they will definitely turn a head or two when you enter a room! Aptly named “Rock Steady” with borrowed cues from “Rock & Roll” music classics, this fabulous collection features a mixture of amethyst, ametrine, and citrine (My Girl), labradorite (Shot Through the Heart), lapis lazuli cubes (September), pink opal nuggets (Dream On), iolite (Dock of the Bay), agate slices (Purple Haze), gold-plated amethyst slices (Is This Love), African opal (Bad to the Bone), amethyst studs (Uptown Girl), and rubies (Red Corvette). And just like Prince’s saucy hit “Little Red Corvette” each piece in the collection audaciously takes you on a thrill ride of which you are a willing and eager passenger.

And if the photo shoot wasn’t enough, just last month Stone Savant and Oh! Nikka teamed up for a grand giveaway that we dubbed Bling into Spring where one lucky Diva won a fabulous necklace from Stone Savant’s “Rock Steady” collection, instantly thrusting her into friend-envy status (which includes myself of course). 😉

Well, as fate would have it, Stone Savant’s designer and creator, Danielle C. Hinton, was showcasing the collection for her Haute Habits trunk show, so I made sure to clear my calendar because I did not want to miss it.

K-La Boutique

The trunk show was held at the ultra trendy K-La Boutique in Phipps Plaza in Atlanta to an excited crowd who were anxious to see the collection. Guests enjoyed an assortment of refreshments, several wine choices, and decadent cocktail inspired cupcakes by Cocktail Cupcakes, while the DJ spun the hautest tracks.

Ladies, if you’ve never been to K-La Boutique you don’t know what you’re missing! Let’s just say that you should definitely add K-La to your short list of go-to boutiques. K-La has a fabulous collection of handbags, accessories, and one-of-a-kind pieces that you won’t find anywhere else. I had my eye on this fabulous cross-weaved handbag that had me “crossing” my fingers in the hopes that “someone” would think this to be a great surprise for Mother’s Day… Oh hubby… 😉 K-La’s selections feature a mixture of styles from designers in Los Angeles and New York, and their pieces are affordably priced which will no doubt keep my wallet (and my hubby) happy. And K-La has several locations throughout Atlanta so I will definitely be stopping by again very soon!

If this isn't the look of sheer excitement I don't know what is!

One of the few things that render me speechless...

I'm in a daze for this "Purple Haze" necklace

Absolutely stunning!

Refreshments anyone?

How about a de-lish cocktail inspired cupcake by Cocktail Cupcakes...

I absolutely loves these clutches and that haute cross-hatched beauty in the back is calling my name

K-La features one-of-a-kind styles from LA and NY designers

♥ ♥ ♥ Love these scarves!

I had a wonderful time at the Haute Habits showcase; mixing and mingling with the other guests, as well as catching up with a few friends such as celeb MUA and beauty expert Mimi J, Brittany Wyatt of Cocktail Cupcakes, Mattie James of Mattieologie, Kristen Kai of Lily Kai Vintage, the always lovely Janelle Langford of Urban Suite PR, and of course the amazing designer behind this fabulous collection, Danielle C. Hinton. Thanks Janelle and Danielle for the invite… I look forward to seeing what Stone Savant has in-store for the coming seasons. I can’t wait!

I must say that each time I view this fabulous collection it feels just like the first time, so as you can imagine, any time this gallery-worthy collection shows around Atlanta I am definitely gonna be there. After all, you only get to have one first love, right! 😉

Big hugs to Robin Lori of RobinLori Photography for the amazing pics!
