Neon NOW

I'm not a big jewelry person but I saw this piece by Dannijo and fell in love. I love the neon colored stones mixed with the big more traditional center piece. So cool and unique!

I love neon in general. It's so fun to be so loud and obnoxious! Is it Spring yet?? And can I have pink hair!? 

XOX,

The Time Has Come

It's almost Fashion Week again and time to go to New York. To celebrate I've decided to finally nut up and buy my first piece, or in this case pieces, of Wendy Brandes Jewelry! I just need your help deciding which ones to go with!

There's the original swear rings...

seen here in print. So cool

The new and amazing OMG rings...

and of course, the NYC rings that would be perfect for the occasion though they may not be as well received on my home coast. ;) I don't want to start an East Coast West Coast shoe rivalry or anything.
On second thought, that could be fun.

"Get the Gaga rings!!" you say?? Well They aren't for sale. So help me pick between the others! ;)

Check out Wendy's other pieces too. She's really great at making beautiful super original and always thoughtful pieces. There's always a story behind all her work and it's so inspiring to see the passion that goes into it.
On top of being a fabulous jewelry designer Wendy is also spectacularly beautiful and sweet as can be. Check her out if you haven't already.  She and her blog are hilarious! www.wendybrandes.com/blog

You Can't Spell Jewelry Without a Jew...

Hello and happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish friends!

Last night my friend and across-the-street neighbor Gigi hosted a jewelry party at her house, so I decided to pop over and take a peek!

I really loved a lot of Rachel May's pieces and bought a bracelet and necklace for myself. Hanukkah presents to me from me! ;)

Our lovely hostess, Gigi...

The big black monsters...
Yes, I got them (sorry Sister Wolf) and they are indeed big scary shoes. I think I love them but to be honest, looking at this picture makes me wonder if I'm smoking crack. They're about a size too big but I got them anyway because I'm a total fashion victim I guess. I'm thinking of selling them and getting the right size from my friend who designed them.

Doi. I should have just waited.

Oh well.

On a side note- I met my husband 4 years last night! I love you Benjamin!! Thank you for putting up with my crap and being such a sweetie pie.

Skeleton Arm and a Leg

OMG. When I blogged about that amazing piece yesterday I had NO idea it could ever cost so much!

Thanks to reader Amanda for sending me the link to this:

First of all- It's even more beautiful than I originally thought. It's amazing! But still, at an almost $30,000 I can't even imagine ever owning it.

It does however, make this amazing (100% more wearable) skull and bone themed necklace by Wendy Brandes seem much more attainable!

I WILL own this someday. I will I will...

Oh wait... what's that you say? Import fees and shipping are INCLUDED in the price???

Well then, that's a different story! How kind of you Luisaviaroma!! I'll take two!

What's the most you've ever paid for an amazing piece of jewelry??
