We can attest (from past and current experience) that a pregnant woman's favorite things to wear are shoes and jewelry...accessories are key when nothing else seems to fit quite the way it used to!  We were overjoyed that the editors at Pregnancy and Newborn magazine agreed...AND deemed one of our Fall 2010 Collection earrings worthy of a style maven like Sarah Jessica Parker!  

Though the necklace pictured isn't available until next month, snag your own statement-making bauble from Elva Fields when your wardrobe feels lacking...baby bump or not!

What a whirlwind buying trip this week!  We found LOTS of fantastic materials for upcoming collections and can't wait to share them all with you through some great new jewelry designs over the coming months.  After two solid days of scouring vendors' offerings for beads, clasps, and wire, we decided to head home the long way…and just when we began to question the scenic route, we came across two signs that made the winding road and extra hours completely worth it! 

And the group below isn't even half of the fun jewelry finds from this fortuitous stop...but lots of fabulous flowers...and a load of other goodies, too.  You'll see them soon in our jewels!

We'll always have a soft spot for the North Shore of Chicago--family ties are often strong, right?  Now we have another reason to celebrate the area, with some fun features in this month's issue of Sheridan Road magazine, a luxury lifestyle publication covering the best of fashion, food, style, and culture in the area.

Whether your style is "Preppy Nautical" or "Boho Chic" or anywhere in-between, we love that Elva Fields fits the bill when it comes to fashionable accessories.  (No matter where you live!)

We love life in Southern California...that beautiful weather!  That laid-back attitude!  Our family! (Hi, Slug and Zoba!)  And though we only occasionally visit (so fun!) we love to live vicariously whenever we can...and Genlux Magazine shows the best in beauty and fashion of SoCal that makes it the happening and luxuriously sunny spot it is.  

With a bit of Elva Fields Deb Collection necklaces in the mix for a fashion spread in the latest issue, we love how the glam/rock/beach babe look turned out!  And for those of you who live the SoCal life non-vicariously, our jewels are available in two stores in the L.A. area--check out Cami; and House of Honey.

One of our dear friends likes to say "Once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker," and we're definitely feeling its truth this week with the latest issue of New York Magazine. The editors selected 110 Jewelry Finds in boutiques and shops around New York, and two necklaces from Elva Fields are featured on the list! Check out the Shop-a-Matic slideshow online or in the latest issue.  (And hugs to Legier for reminding us that even though we're immersed in the Bluegrass, we'll always be welcome back in the Big Apple!)
