Well, Hello 2018!!! I will welcome you with open arms!
First, I want to bid a fond farewell to 2017. This past year has been one for the books. iCrave had the best sales of all years combined. We have the #1 Selling Necklace on Etsy. I will be honest and tell you that I still have to look in the mirror and say “How did this happen?”! Even though, I know deep down inside how it did. That old saying “Hard work pays off” it is VERY TRUE!! Since the first day I wore something I created and got a ton of compliments, my gut told me that I had something and I NEEDED TO RUN WITH IT!
I have said it before and I will continue to say it, I only create what I would wear. I understand Crave Girls, because I am one of you! We are all kind, fun, non-chalant, hard working, ambitious, loving, laid back and know how to have a good time! I have met many of you over the years and I wish I could move us all into the Crave Cave and drink wine and talk clothing & JEWELRY, trade clothes and have sleepovers! Our husbands and boyfriends can live across the street LOL…
SO my wish for 2018 is…
To continue to create jewels that bring you joy and make you feel gorgeous even on those days that we all feel like we would rather take a bath with a LUSH Bath Bomb, lay in bed and shut the door. Put that Crave Necklace on… It always makes me feel better!
Start my blog and make it a point to do posts 2x a week! I am a shopper & I am always looking for the best bargain or the cutest items to jazz up my wardrobe! I want to share my finds with you!
Go and meet people! I have mentioned before but Andrew and I have lived in 5 different states in 6 years. I have lived in Florida for 2 years and haven’t made an effort to meet new people, I will be honest, it gets lonely and makes me miss my friends from home! The older we get it is harder to make new friends.. but I am making an effort to go out and introduce my fabulous self to new girlfriends!
Drink more water!
Eat healthier, Goodbye HotPockets!
Watch less Dateline and more Forensic Files.
Surprise my family ONCE in Boston this year! I am horrible with surprises!
Travel this beautiful country, I am lucky I have a partner that enjoys it just as much I do!
Just be grateful! Any one can sit and wish they had this or that, I miss being around all my friends and feeling at home, but I would rather look at it as how many people can say they have lived in as many places as we have! Life is precious, fragile and ohhh so sweet!
Wishing every single one of you the most beautiful, safe and sparkling New Year! I will be getting dinner by the ocean & then ringing in the New Year with Andy and Anderson! I love you all lots! Cheers to lots more sparkling jewelry and even more COMPLIMENTS!!!!!!
Xx, Erin

Hope you all had a wonderful and peaceful Christmas. We stayed in Florida and had Our 1st Christmas just the two of us. It was relaxing and cozy! Andrew has a work event in Kansas City, MO soon and I am tagging along. I am excited because I love traveling to new places that I haven’t been before and exploring the shopping scene and small boutiques! I am bringing these items with me as the weather will be cold.
Clockwise:
Antonello Tedde Tote….has the cutest totes! I have had my eye on one for years and yes, they are an investment. I waited till this one went down to 40% Off! It goes with everything! Its different and I just love it.
Sequin Hat… It will be cold but that doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice my sparkle! This also comes in Black and Navy!
Luxe Velour Joggers….these are like butter! I also own them in the Midnight color! Best pair of joggers I own.
Splendid 1×1 White L/S Tee….. Hands down MY FAV WHITE TEE!!! I also have it in black.
Jack Rogers Rain Cold Weather Boots… well aren’t these adorable! I needed a pair of boots that aren’t bulky to travel with but also serve a purpose. They also come in a ton of other colors!
iCrave Jewels Bachelorette Sequin Necklace… I got soooooo many compliments on this necklace when I wear this. It is just sooooo fun! BEAT THE CLOCK SALE TONIGHT!!!!

Claude Dozorme Pizza Knife.. When I saw this I had to get it for Andrew. We love these knives and their functional as well as have the cutest handles. The “PIZZA” cut out on the blade just makes it even cuter!
Pixi Rose Flash Balm.. this balm is the BOMB!! Wakes up tired skin and is super hydrating!! A New Must in my daily routine!
La Mer Soft Cream.. I have said it before…I try new products and always go back to this! This week I used the wrong formula of Retinol. It was wayyyy to strong and I burned my face. Parts of my face started to scab. It was NOT pretty! I applied La Mer and within a day my skin looked much better. Phew!
Free People Large Retro Bag.. I have been on the hunt for a tote like this! My grandmother used to carry them all the time to the beach and I have always wanted something similar! For Only $18, you can bet I ordered one!
Thank you for stopping by! Happy Shopping!
