With an anti-sleep toddler, I barely have time to get a shower, let alone match jewelry to an outfit. But that doesn't mean I'm willing to sacrifice my stylish tendencies. It just means that I need pieces that can multitask as competently as I try to.

Enter Tam Aura Designs, the studio of artist Tami Brooks, which features the most amazing collection of dress it up/dress it down wooden jewelry I've seen in a long time. She combines simplicity and earthy style along with affordability--her pieces are in the very modest $30-50 range. I'm in love with her sensual Gerry necklace (pictured), as well as her Nicole earrings, both of which will go with almost everything I own.

These are the perfect fall season baubles for me--with baby number two on the way, my coordination brain cells will be lacking. But at least my fashion sense will be spot on.  -Kristen
