Christmas is over, but winter is still in full effect. Where should you head if you can’t get enough of glistening, white snow? We say: Snowmass Village, Colorado! This winter resort (grouped together with the more well-known Aspen) is a skier’s paradise and a total winter wonderland. It’s a place where you can enjoy winter sports, but also kick back and hang with friends over hot toddies. Valentina, one of our CEOs, recently spent some time there, and absolutely loved it! Here are a couple snapshots she took while on her winter getaway:

As most of us fashion-hungry women know, the fashion capitals of the world are Milan, New York, Paris, and London. However, Miami has been gaining traction on the fashion scene in the past few years. Miami hosts the annual Mercedes Benz Fashion Swimwear week, and Miami’s lush tropical backdrops are perfect for sizzling hot photo shoots. Not everyone recognizes Miami as the next budding fashion capital of the U.S., but Jewel Be Mine owners Natalie Mery and Valentina Osuna see all the potential in the world.

First and foremost, happy new year! We definitely wish you happiness, health, and success in 2014 and beyond. Here at Jewel Be Mine, we’re really excited about the New Year because we have so many fun surprises ahead for you! We’re talking tons of new arrivals and styles, we’re talking fun events, and perhaps most exciting of all, we are talking exclusive jewelry lines designed by celebrities! We can’t give too much away right now, but expect really awesome collaborations in the New Year! We cannot wait to share with you all that we have in store for 2014!

By now, it’s no secret that Christmas is the Jewel Be Mine team’s favorite time of year! In honor of the season, we decided to host a Christmas toast at our bejeweled Lounge in Miami. This toast was a chance to share love, drinks, and (naturally) some jewels. This toast was the perfect way to bring together friends and celebrate the spirit of the season. We’re also celebrating a year of bringing you the trendiest jewelry out there, which we look forward to doing in the New Year as well! Here are some photo snippets of some of our favorite moments from our lovely little holiday get-together:
