Today's Style Tip at Instyle

Each day InStyle.com features one of their Looks of the Day. Today they featured Ali Larter and we have to admit, yes, she looks great! What was so striking about her outfit is the minimal amount of jewelry she is wearing. We count two earrings, one bracelet and we think we can make out a ring. Nice job, Ali.

Sometimes when we go out on the town we don't have to be draped heavily with jewelry. A few pieces will suffice just as well.

At DociaLynn.com we carry bangles that will work for any outfit like our Antique Silver Metal Bracelet. The great thing is it's less than $20. You can't get any better than that!

The Mom Salon reviews a Docia Lynn necklace

The Mom Salon recently reviewed our Blue Zircon Acrylic Beads Necklace on their website. This was my first review, so I was very excited to see it. I am glad that moms across the country appreciate our jewelry. This necklace is very fashionable and will upgrade any outfit. Also, this necklace will make a beautiful gift for the holidays. This necklace is very affordable and all women would love to receive this necklace as a gift.

Penny Pinching During the Holidays

Although we saw streams of people and hordes of crowds shopping on Black Friday there are still throngs of other Americans who are keeping a tight watch on their spending this holiday season. With gas prices steadily going up and with the housing crisis not nearly out of our sights, families are spending less than usual this year. In fact, a recent survey says one-third of all Americans will indeed spend considerably less than they did last year.

Since today is Cyber Monday and since I know many people are watching their wallets, I wanted to give you a heads up on a holiday giveaway we're doing. If you sign up to our newsletter, you will be automatically entered to win a gift certificate from Docia Lynn. Now, nothing can be less expensive than a FREE gift certificate.

Memorable Gifts for the Holidays

If you are a small business owner like I am, or an aspiring business owner, you understand that the companies you do business with like to be shown a little appreciation at the end of the year, and that doesn't always mean getting a company mug -- boring!

According to an article I read on CNN.com, small businesses are now going the extra mile to give more personalized and meaningful gifts to their clients instead of the ubiquitous coffee mug or the age-old gift basket. Small businesses are going as far as handing out personalized stationary or even flowering bonsais.

In my opinion, I think in the long run, clients do like to be appreciated and a personal gift shows just that -- thought, value, sincerity. But what's in it for the small business? Isn't there some merit to giving away a holiday gift with the company logo stamped on it even if it will end up in the trash six months from now? After all, this is still business. Or, do you think a great (i.e. expensive) gift goes further in solidifying business ties?

By the way, (ahem) we have a ton of great gift ideas for the holidays that are quite affordable and lovely ideas for women who love jewelry.

Organize your Fashion Jewelry

We all love fashion jewelry! And, we all know that fashion jewelry and accessories are a great way to upgrade our wardrobe. Unfortunately, many of us stuff or cram our fashion finds in showboxes or toolboxes. As you collect fashion jewelry, you may find that you need more space to store your valuable finds. To ensure that your fashion jewelry lasts and doesn't get ruined, you should consider organizing and storing your jewelry in jewelry containers. Organizing your jewelry will prevent your jewelry from getting damaged, tangled or lost. Docia Lynn has found a great website for storing your jewelry that offers affordable, unique and beautiful jewelry boxes and storage options.
