Charmed
When I was pregnant with MM, I was gifted this pretty gold bar with my initials on one side- “MVM”- and “Maddie” on the other.
And I’ve worn it pretty much every day since- initials side out until she came; then “Maddie” from that day forward.
Since then, I’ve collected several sweet charms that I layer as daily reminders of a few of my loves.
Here’s what they mean to me:
charm Details from top to bottom
“Lila” Script Diamond : My mama gifted me this delicate diamond necklace after our second girl was born.
“MADDIE” Gold Bar Nameplate {above}
“M” : One of my first purchases at my favorite local jewelry spot
Celestial Orb: Because she’s pretty
“L” : Phil gifted my this initial this past Mother’s Day, when I was pregnant with our Lila
Gold Cross {similar}: A gift from my First Communion
Gemini Charm: For my MM, and both her personalities heehee
“I Love Us”: I received this one as part of one of the first collaborations I did; this tiny charm stands for my little family of four and how far this blog has come
Maui Charm: I got this on one of my trips to Maui with my mama- a place we visited often when I lived on the west coast. It used to live on a bracelet but fell off the chain, so I added it to my other favorites on this necklace
Carlotta Pendant: Another one from my local favorite. Again, because it’s just so pretty

I’ve been spending the last few weeks scouring the internets in search of a few pieces for a much anticipated Nantucket wedding at the end of the summer. All the research has wedding guest dresses on my brain, and I thought ya’ll might be in need of some inspo, too.
