I accidentally came across this Paraphernalia name necklace via Poppytalk this afternoon and cannot stop thinking about how badly I need to own it. Of course I’d probably end up putting something snarky on it – like Devilish – instead of my real name. What can I say – I love words. Paraphernalia also has other equally interesting necklaces: care for a heart, brain or molar?
Last weekend at The Girlie Show one of my purchases was this Simple Halo necklace from Freshie & Zero. Their hammered jewelry is incredible and I had a tough time choosing between a few of the different pieces. It strikes me as really ironic that something as forceful as hammering can have an end result so delicate. I also had a chance to meet and chat with “Freshie” who’s a real doll. I’ve mentioned before how I wear about five necklaces on a regular basis and I knew the moment I picked this one up that it was going to be part of the rotation.
imogene is a lovely little online shop out of Baltimore run by Annie, Steve and Joey their pitbull. the coolest thing is that they deal directly with imogene’s featured designers, maintain their own site and ship everything to you themselves. it’s literally a two-and-a-half man studio. Definitely stpo by and check out the goods. I especially dig their paper selection and jewelry.
I’m drooling over these vintage-inspired Flower Rings by designer Jane Diaz at Garnet Hill. The jeweled flower is placed on a tiny, thin rose gold band which is so, so pretty. (And I’m almost always a non-gold kinda gal.) The rings are available in three combos: Labradorite/Rhodolite Garnet, Amethyst/Peridot or Ruby/Hessonite Garnet.
This shirt is fantastic because it’s so, so true. I love that type can be so deceptive.
Shirt reads: This paragraph could be talking about poop and pee but at first glance you wouldn’t know because it’s executed in the beautiful Bickham Script. If you didn’t know any better, you would think I’m talking about girly stuff like butterflies or flowers. Lame.

Posted In wear itI came across Liquid Sky Arts by way of Kathleen Rossi-Howell’s blog – Senseless Acts of Beauty. And just the other day in my post about PaPaYa I unknowingly posted a Christmas card that she had designed for them. Kathleen has just released her own Christmas card collection and is a very talented jeweler as well, her pendants are amazing. Visit her site to see even more of her talent.
I’m such a jewelry junkie.

One of my very favorite necklaces in my jewlery box is in the shape of a teardrop. There’s something very chic and modern about it.
This Dew Drop Necklace ($35) at Modishoppe is going on my Wish List. It’s actually a piece of copper with layers of robin’s egg blue glass enamel fused onto it. Basically a two-for-one since the backside is the copper itself. Completely reversible.
I love jewelry – silver please, thankyouverymuch – especially rings and necklaces. I have a few unique pieces that tend to be my favorites, like my Thoreau quote necklace and the ring my friend, Aaron, made for me as a Christmas present a few years ago. I can completely see this Ruler Ring by Fancy falling into just that category. For $60.
I would find an occassion to wear this.
Like a Monday.
(It’s at the Curiosity Shoppe.)
