Display of custom pieces from the Laura James Jewelry collection.  Her gem collection is insane, and I love that you can customize which stone is applied to the copper cuff.   Display of custom pieces from the Laura James Jewelry collection.  Her gem collection is insane, and I love that you can customize which stone is applied to the copper cuff.

Thank you so much to everyone that stopped by the Shop Local Style event that I hosted last week at Laura Jame’s Jewelry boutique!  It was such a fun evening, and between the beautiful jewelry (Laura James Jewelry || Teal House Collection), custom clothing (Belles of Cotton), and fun chit chat, I felt like a kid in a candy store.  A handful of Charlotte bloggers and local ladies came out to our public event where we served hors d’oeuvres, wine, and gourmet cotton candy by the cities very own, Cotton Queen.  It was great event, and ended in me getting engaged to the love of my life… whatttt??!!!  Below are details of our event.
