BESTeam: Fiery Red

This deep fire shawl comes from Joy's website

Joy lives in Ashland, OR (home of an awesome Shakespeare festival which my mom and I once road-tripped to as a sweet sixteen birthday present), and she is also the artisan behind Joy Flower on Etsy. I have long been enamored with Joy's many scarves other hand-painted silk items, and today I'd like to showcase my favorites in fire.

This ember ruana looks stunning against the black ensemble underneath.

This cayenne ruana is just a little lighter colored than the one above

These striking silk pieces are versatile and ready to be shown off. They can be worn as a statement piece or used to accent an outfit, and look beautiful just hanging up waiting to be worn. I encourage you to check out Joy's shop to see all the new things she's coming up with.

Joy can be found many places online. Check out her BLOG, ETSY, WEBSITE, FACEBOOK, and TWITTER accounts.

BESTeam Feature: Oscar Night!

Well, it's Oscar night tonight, and I think that anyone who's spent most of the day getting ready to walk the red carpet might have started with a little something like the Dead Sea Mud pictured below. It comes from Ancient Oils on Etsy. I know, it looks kind of dirty, but it's mud, right? And if it were white or pink, would you really trust it to be all-natural? If you're not walking down the red carpet, I think it looks like a super fun way to start a girls' night in!

Now that you're suitably pampered, what are you going to wear? I absolutely love this hand-painted silk chiffon ruana by Joyflower on Etsy. Can't you see yourself or one of the stars in this? What I think is great is the many ways it can be worn. Look at Joyflower's shop to see many other hand-painted silk pretties!

Oh, wow! Check out this beautiful bangle from Riorita on Etsy! I absolutely love the simplicity of the design, and yet there are so many dimensions that it isn't just the same old thing.
Keeping with Simple in Silver look, check out this lovely Tree of Life necklace by Blue White Wear on Etsy.
Coming to us from CK Silver is the beautiful pair of hand hammered earrings. I think the touch of carnelian dangle just sets the tone. Have I mentioned how much I love carnelian?
Okay, I know this last one isn't silver, but gold is pretty close, right? The versatility of this lovely gold scarf by Joy Flower on Etsy is amazing, and doesn't it just look luxurious?
