Southwestern Style

I love Southwestern style.  Living in NYC I don't get to incorporate it into my wardrobe too often, but I have some jewelry that I occasionally wear.  I was at an event the other night and thought turquoise and silver would dress up my all black outfit and add some warmth to a freezing New York night.  I added a Verdura cuff bracelet for polish.

The necklace was a Christmas gift this year and the earrings were a gift a few years ago.  This Southwestern Indian catalog has an amazing variety of gifts for a great cause: http://www.southwestindian.com/.  I especially love the jewelry.  When my father's family first came to this country in the 1850's they settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico and stayed there for 30-40 years before moving East to NYC, so I think my love of Southwestern style is in my blood.  I've been out West a few times and next time I go I plan to buy an authentic concho belt and maybe some cowboy boots.
