ELIZABETH MCLAUGHLIN I was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City 2 movie. She wore a solid to patterned Emilio Pucci dress with strap heels and a moon shaped necklace. My dress was by Arden B., chalcopyrite bag by Kent Stetson, shoes by Sigerson Morrison, and necklace from Natural Glo. | KALEIGH GUAY I decided that my favorite color to wear is burnt orange so why not wear it open in night of Styleweek with the classic splash Kent Stetson bag. I usually wear print dresses but I also enjoy wearing sophisticated solids with an extreme pop of excitement in an accessory like a bag or pair of shoes. |

Touchstone Crystal Swarovski Group Jewelry
Touch Stone Jewelry is a direct selling company of Swarovski crystals. Pieces range from $26 to $299 with 50 percent of the jewelry priced under $50. Why is this jewelry so afforable especially when containing Swarovski Crystals? Swarovski wanted to start a direct selling market that caters to the everyday woman. The reason for their comfortable prices are stemmed from the different plating process of the stones. I spoke with two women from the marketing team and they have pride in working for a company where women support women. Schedule a consultation party or view their website to purchase these beautiful crystal stones at affordable prices.
