We
recently got some amazing news that AnnaSophia Robb will be wearing one
of our pieces in an upcoming episode of The Carrie Diaries. Here’s a
shot of her in our Luxe Lucite Neon Necklace
shooting for the new season. I was so excited when I got the news, I
might’ve done a happy dance 🙂 She looks so gorgeous and I can’t wait
to watch the episode!
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for behind the scenes and exclusive sales and discounts! Some recent photos our Instagram… Let me know if you have any questions about our jewelry and thank you so much for your support!
My shopping lately has consisted of mainly furniture and more house stuff but when I was in U Village this weekend I picked up this adorable lace top from Madewell in a neon yellow – it’s on sale in stores! But also noticed online that they are doing an additional 20% off on sale items. I’m eyeing this eyelet dress, this floral drop waist dress and this pretty navy beaded number.
I did squeeze in some “me” time a few weeks ago with a stop at Prada and fell in love with these beauties. I did bring one home but not going to reveal which one just yet 🙂 Which one do you like?
I haven’t been to Nordstrom Rack in months but decided to stop by since I was near one and when I walked in I instantly noticed a new shipment of Marc Jacobs bags including this little crossbody. I already have it in a burgundy and I LOVE that bag during the fall/winter so loved that I stumbled upon this bright pink version. It’s perfect for the summer and I’ve been using it daily. Plus it was 50% off! Score! Love Nordstrom Rack finds.
A more recent bump picture as I’ve seriously grown exponentially in the past two weeks. This is me at 28 weeks…
And on that note, we got brand new neon bubble necklaces that are GORGEOUS. They are a really pretty matte finish and come in neon pink, yellow and purple. We have them for a special price of $26 so go get them now (and check out the rest of our new arrivals while you are there!)
And lastly, we have a pinterest contest going on that I would love for you guys to join! Just repin 3 of our images and then enter for a chance to win all the jewelry in the photos (a $400 value!) or a $75 credit to our store. You can visit our board here (make sure to follow us) but fill out your entry form here.
Since I found such a great intern with my last posting, I thought I’d post again about a job position we have at my jewelry line. We are hiring for a full time Order Fulfillment position that would run the shipping operations out of our office. I would need somebody that is available to come in to our office during normal business hours (we do have some flexibility on hours though) and manage everything that has to do with our orders and shipping! Our offices are located in Kent, WA.
Just a few requirements:
Some office experience
Knows how to work with Microsoft Word and Excel
Can pick up tasks quickly and think on their feet
Please email me tiffany (at) tandjdesigns.com with your resume if you are interested and want more details of this position. We are in need ASAP so we need someone that can start right away!
It’s been such a crazy week here, hoping to be able to blog more next week! Hope you all have a great weekend!
Life has been super crazy lately and so posting on the blog will be sporadic but I’m still here and wanted to say hi! Just an update and sharing photos from my instagram. If you don’t follow me yet, you can follow me here!
Cherishing the moments of being able to take long walks with our dogs. (I’m almost 23 weeks here but I’m 24 weeks now!). Wearing a Forever 21 Dress
Last
week was a bit tough for me because of the pregnancy. Even though I
still don’t look very pregnant (you should see the surprised looks I
get all the time when people find out I’m 6 months pregnant). The
weight that I have gained has all gone to my boobs and my belly and all
that weight in front is killing my back. Sleep has been tough, sitting
on the couch has been tough, walking has been tough, etc… and I’ve
been a little unhappy about it all. My super sweet husband has been
giving me daily massages and putting up with my sh*t and he also got me a
little gift to cheer me up. I love the bow clutch that he picked out
for me. I just love that he went shopping on his own and picked it
out for me as I’ve never even seen or mentioned this clutch to him
before but when I saw it, it was so me, and I love that he knows that
about me. It doubles as a crossbody and has a bow print that you can see on the back.
I had a really great weekend celebrating mother’s day with my mom. Being pregnant has really made me appreciate everything that my mom has done for me and I’m so glad to be so close by and be able to see her whenever I want!
Our business is really taking off, so much so that we got a new office and are in the process of moving! It’s such exciting times to see our little business turn into everything we’ve envisioned (I mean we are not there quite yet but in less than 2 years, we’ve had amazing growth.) and having a team of people work for us. We’re also growing so rapidly that we’ve just hired two more people on our shipping team along with the merchandising intern that my sister is hiring. Such crazy fun times and I’m loving every minute of it!
We added watches to our designs and I LOVE them!! The Gold Link & Tortoise watch is my favorite and is selling like crazy. The colored watches will be on our site in a little bit. We are still perfecting a few things with the designs on those but get excited because they will be gorgeous!
And then, my husband and I bought a house! We just closed yesterday and am so in love with our new home. It’s so us and will be perfect for when the baby is here. So now along with the move for the new office, I have to move our old house into our new house which is quite a daunting task especially because oh yeah, I’m 6 months pregnant and will be 7 months by the time we move everything all in. Yikes! So all in all, it’s quite an exciting few months for us and I’m sure will be for the next few months and then before I know it the baby will be here. I’m actually more scared for that part than anything else! LOL! I hope you all are having a great week!
I’m headed back home today after spending time in Chicago with my family for my nephew’s first birthday. It was so much fun to hang out with my family and especially to see my adorable nephew turn one and see him eat his first bite of cake!
Just a few random bits from my instagram that I wanted to share with you. I’ve been loving this crossbody bag from Target. I just can’t get enough! My husband laughed in my face when I bought it and he (sarcastically) said that was so sure that I was going to use this bag over all my designer bags but I really have been using it a lot! It’s actually nice to have a bag that I don’t have to worry about it getting wet, dirty, scuffed, etc… And it looks small but it carries a lot.
In all honesty though, if I had the funds to buy another bag, it would probably be this Saint Laurent bag! I’m so in love with it but… out of the budget for now.
At Barneys I spotted this gorgeous orange Celine Nano tote. It’s so cute! I’m so loving the mini bags these days.
Another OOTD. I had thought that I could put away my boots but the rain came back with a vengeance. When I was in Chicago it actually snowed so I was very glad that I packed boots!
Over at my jewelry line we launched a few new pieces including this yellow flower necklace which is my favorite! I’ve been wearing it so much. It also comes in turquoise and for a limited time, we are offering it at a special price so if you like it, get it now!
Hope you all have a great Monday and the rest of your week!
On another note… I wanted to thank all my readers who have been such great supporters of my jewelry line. It’s been such an exciting ride since the time we started until now and I can hardly believe that it’s only been a year and half! I love getting emails from readers sharing how they wear our pieces to sharing in our excitement when they’ve seen us featured in a magazine or elsewhere. I truly appreciate all the love and support, I couldn’t have grown t+j Designs without all your help!
Update: Thanks for everyone who applied! I got some really great candidates and am now in the process of interviewing. I’m no longer taking resumes but thank you all for your interest!
Because of our rapid growth, I’m getting a bit overwhelmed in everything that we’ve got going on so I’ve decided to hire an intern. I thought I’d put it out on the blog first to see if any of my readers would be interested in working with us! I would love to find someone who loves fashion and of course loves jewelry, who’s very familiar with all aspects of social media – blogging, facebook, twitter, instagram, etc… and who is eager to learn more about starting, running and growing an e-commerce business! Experience with photography and Photoshop would be a major bonus. This is a great opportunity for someone who would love to be a part of our company from the ground up. You will mainly be assisting me with running the day to day operations of the business with an emphasis on the social media aspect. This position will be part time and unpaid to start with (if in school, we’d be happy to work with you to get you school credit) but definite potential for a long term paid position in the future. I do prefer the intern to be local – in the Seattle area or able to get to Seattle on a weekly basis but because most of the time, this position will be working from home, I’m open to finding an intern that is not local if the fit is right. Please email your cover letter and resume to tiffany (at) tandjdesigns.com with the subject “Intern” and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can. Feel free to also email me with any questions or to get more information about the position if you are interested. Thanks!
These are the second set of photos that my sister and I did with Jen last month (see the first set here). It was so cold that day by the second outfit we were all ready to be out of the cold and done with it. I think we shot these in 15 mins compared to the 30-45 mins for the first set! Jen captured some fantastic photos and I so appreciate her willingness to shoot in the freezing temps!
