Fashion Friday- Lupus Awareness Jewelry

May is Lupus Awareness Month.

I happen to love purple- the color used to signify Lupus awareness and I have Lupus, so I thought this would be a great Fashion Friday topic. Here are some great handmade sellers that are raising money for Lupus organizations.

Fo-Shizzle Design Studios donates 100% of the proceeds of this "Lilies" bracelet to the Lupus Foundation of America. Plus she donates the proceeds from every 50th item to LFA.

Vanity Designs donates 10% of all purchases for Lupus related tiles to the Gulf Coast Lupus Foundation. This one is my favorite. It gives people a warning not to say that you look fine. :)

Human Touch Designs offers this sparkly bracelet with 30% going to the charity of the buyer's choice.

Rock 'n' Bauble's Tears of Lupus Awareness Necklace has 10% donated to Lupus research.

Jodi's Craft Emporium gives $4 to LFA for each $5 Lupus Awareness Ribbon she sells. The butterfly is really cute!
Karen's Creations has a cute butterfly too. Half of the price of this keychain go to LFA.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can effect many body systems. I plan to share my personal story later in the month, but you can find out more about Lupus at The Lupus Foundation of America's website at lupus.org.

The Fashion Friday that wasn't

Yes, I did miss Friday's Fashion Friday. There are some things going on in my family that I had to take care of, so I'm not going to apologize. But I am going to bring you a special treat. :)

This beautiful Stained Glass bracelet is the newest creation from Grandma Marilyn's on Etsy.

I wonder if Noah's Ark Collection felt obligated to put me in her treasury because of my name?! :)

I think because it's only a couple of days until Easter, these cute bunny beads from Noah's Ark Collection caught my attention.

Fashion Friday- Sunny Days Ahead

Sunny yellow is hot in fashion for summer. Bright yellow just radiates fun. It can be a kind of difficult color to pull off- I know I would look awful in a bright yellow dress with my barely darker than albino skin. However, a touch of this color would be great.
