When I got an invitation from Jaye at Curvatude to attend a special event at a jewelry store in Wicker Park, I squealed in delight, but my credit cards let out a whimper. lol. I just knew that I would find something gorgeous that I had to have and would overspend my budget! But only half of my assumption came true!

I found an incredible pair of jade quartz drop earrings and a fantastic Swarovski crystal bracelet at Love and Pieces…and spent under $70! Go to Love and Pieces, y’all…I’m serious. I’m already planning to buy more bracelets as gifts for all the ladies in my family. 🙂

Jaye puts on a classy event. 🙂 We had wine and appetizers, gift bags (even though I forgot mine!), and had amazing vegan cupcakes and cake-pops. Delish is an understatement!

Jaye looks fantastic! I love the sequin skirt she picked up at Lane Bryant!

Jenny Lawson from The Mixing Bowl Bakery bakes these unbelievable vegan cupcakes. These were peanut butter and banana-I think they’re called the Elvis Special. 🙂 She also has a cute blog called A Cupcake Chronicle. Check it out! The wine was sponsored by Gene Stephens from GSC Consulting. It was so nice of her!

Yummy Appetizers, sponsored by one of the local restaurants.

If you’ve never had a Cake Pop…click this link immediately! The Sweetest Thang owner, Brooke Michele is a goddess!

Jaye, Me, and Cha’rron 🙂

I love Cha’rron from CChicChicago! I run into her at all the best fashion events. 🙂

Gene Stephens looks fabulous!

Is this not stunningly beautiful? I could wear this with a burlap sack and still look fabulous. lol

Love, thy name is smoky quartz!

Hello, gorgeous!

Michelle Rubin, the owner of Love and Pieces. Go see her and buy gorgeous things!

Thanks, Jaye for organizing the Fall into Fab event! 🙂
