#forlifebenbridge

I’m on the beach in La Jolla here but headed to Argentina for a conference tomorrow. My key travel companions this time are my camera gear and jewelry (swipe to see more of it). (ad) . They make me look good because I'm way less organized than I appear at times. I partnered with @benbridgejwlr to write about tips for working stay-at-home parents because I could use WAY more advice for staying sane and organized. . What are your best tips for balancing work and family? . (Photo credit: Nicole in San Diego for @Flytographer... more about this fab shoot later.) #forlifebenbridge (at La Jolla Shores)

Cheers to the weekend! (Ad) Whether you're headed out on date night or stuck in a hotel because you're on vacation with a sick kid (the latter is pictured above from our London trip and why I'm reaching for this glass), it's nice to be well accessorized. These two diamond and gold @benbridgejwlr bracelets go with everything (really, everything). . What piece of jewelry do you always wear? So many choices, so little time --> http://izea.it/aD96S57 #forlifebenbridge #ad (at London, United Kingdom)

I took three of partner @benbridgejwlr pieces to London: two diamond and gold bracelets (one white and one yellow gold... would never have thought to mix them) and a casual diamond ring. They are so comfortable and lightweight that I barely ever took them off (I am wearing them now at a conference as I type this). Love. Do you travel with jewelry? #forlifebenbridge #ad (at Brown's Hotel)

The story of Toscano Italian Gold, from wearer to you. 

Decorating cupcakes is even more fun with morganite.

"My boyfriend and I used to work on the same block. Every Wednesday he would wait outside my office to walk me home. One day a black diamond ring caught my eye from a store window. I raved about it every following Wednesday on our way home, but never walked into the store. Fast forward a year later to my boyfriend asking me to move in. I was ecstatic. While celebrating over champagne, he told me he had another surprise. That’s when he handed me the ring I had fell in love with. He had remembered, even a whole year later." Becca

"My step-sister and I became family when we were in college. Besides the holidays, we really didn't have the chance to get to know one another until she decided to move out west. It was a big move, so I joined her on the long cross-country adventure. Spending that much time together in a moving truck either makes or breaks a relationship -- for us, it was the former. A few weeks later, after she was settled into her new home, she sent me this ring as a thank you for helping. I think of our bond and the future memories that await us whenever I wear it." Katie
