I love rings- the bigger the better! I was recently organizing my jewellery collection and I counted 30 rings (not including my sentimental rings) .  Here are the pictures of the aforementioned ring bling in all their splendour!

A fun twist on the cocktail ring is the nail ring, seen at the 2011 Spring/Summer Binetti show at NYC Fashion Week.  This trend makes me want to get off the couch and bejazzle my sparkly polsihed nails!

Helpful Hint: A great tip that a friend shared with me to prevent your affordable rings from turning your fingers green (we've all been there!); is to coat the inside of the ring band with a thin layer of clear nail polish.  This will prevent your fingers from taking on the colour of a moldy piece of bread!

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
