10 to 1 Convertible Jewelry


My friends at Spin Daily came across this Bazner jewelry and did a video about it. It is a great accessory that can be worn as a necklace or bracelet but also as a headband, pony holder, anklet, belt, and more ways that I can't even remember - 10 ways! It comes in a variety of color combinations. I'm thinking that this is a great travel accessory for my trip to Cabo during spring break. If I feel like doing my hair, I have a great necklace. If I don't I have a great solution - headband or pony tail or bun. Either way, I'll be more pulled together thanks to Shaune Bazner, Designer.

Button Up with Bosom Button


I found the Bosom Button when I was featured alongside them in Smart Woman Magazine's Gift Guide. The Bosom Button is a functional accessory to minimize bosom exposure. OK, so those of you with cleavage know that it can sure be nice to have cleavage to expose. Some of us actually work at this - but, another topic for another day! Well, it isn't always classy or practical to let it all hang out. The Bosom Button is a simple pin made of Swarovski crystals or decorative stones. It's very simply a pretty pin that you don't have to hide. You just put it through your clothing where you need the "help". It works great for low cut tops, but also for wrap dresses, scarves and even missing buttons. Bosom Buttons can be ordered individually or as a three piece set.

Wow, I'm up and running, er, writing?

I guess this Fashion meets Function blog came together because I like things to be functional. I'm not a real frilly over the top kind of gal. But as a gal we have a hard time not falling for pretty or sexy or cool fashions and accessories. I always try to remember the mantra of needs vs. wants and be reasonable. Of course, when the item I'm desiring has a specific purpose, it sure helps me to justify that the need is strong and it outweighs the mere want.
So Strappys Decorative Bra Straps was born out of necessity. I couldn't figure out how to wear tanks and spaghetti strap t's with my strapless bra AND keep strapless bra up.I am not one to just run around with ugly bra straps showing so I had to decorate them. That was fun! Then I looked around and found so many options available. I just had to have them all. I really needed them. Since then I have found so many cool fashion solutions on the market. I want to try them all and hear from people who have invented, designed , use, swear by and can't live without these products. I'm looking forward to the adventure...
