Jewel Be Mine could not be more excited to announce that new Maaji swimwear is in and available online now! This colorful, comfortable Colombian brand is known for its sweet prints and perfect fit. And although it may be winter, we guarantee you’re either dreaming about your next tropical getaway or counting down to spring (we’re doing both!). Let’s take a look at a couple of our favorite new arrivals, shall we?

Christmas (also known as the most wonderful time of the year) is almost here, and us Jewel Be Mine girls could not be more excited! We have totally Christmas-ified the office in anticipation of our favorite holiday. Here are a few snippets of our office, Christmas-bedazzled edition:

Here at Jewel Be Mine, we are so excited that it’s finally the holiday season. We’ve decorated the office in sparkle-and-feather mini Christmas trees, we have Mariah Carey’s Christmas album playing, and we just held a fabulous event called We Love Christmas Market this past Sunday! We had a great time, we raised money for a good cause, and the market was truly a shopper’s dream come true.

Our updated wish list includes lots of pink, girly goodies…

For those of you that have already started making the rounds of holiday parties, you know that it can be exhausting. No, not the getting to bed late on a work night; not even drinking one too many eggnogs. It’s exhausting to come up with different party-perfect outfits for weeks on end. There’s the work parties, the out-of-town family dinners, the drinks with old high school friends, and perhaps a charity event or two. The list of celebrations just goes on and on. What to wear? We suggest pairing some basic accessories with a more holiday-appropriate garment. Here’s one holiday look we love:

One of our favorite things about the holidays? The smell of delicious holiday treats wafting in the air. We’re talking hot apple cider, pecan pies, and of course, a holiday staple, the gingerbread cookie. We love gingerbread cookies so much that we found an amazing (and fast!) recipe that we wanted to share with you. This easy recipe only takes 15 minutes to prep, and makes 8 servings. Read on for that spicy yet sweet deliciousness that we all love.

It’s finally here! Art Basel Miami Beach officially kicks off on Thursday, December 5^th, but dozens of events are already underway. This event, attracting 50,000 visitors from all over the world, features both up-and-coming and established artists, and celebrates their contributions to the art world with viewings, displays, and of course, lots of parties (it is, after all, Miami). And why not celebrate? Contemporary art and perfect weather have us Jewel Be Mine girls ohh so excited for the coming days.

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, we think it’s safe to say that us ladies are focused on what really matters this holiday season: your New Year’s Eve outfit (well, second most important, after love & holiday spirit). You may have already scored a great dress during Black Friday craziness, or you may still be on the prowl for that perfect look to say goodbye to 2013 in. Either way, here’s a little NYE eye candy to get you inspired:
