Ever since making these necklaces for some friends I’ve been flat-out obsessed with embroidery thread. My only tryst with it in the past was short-lived, in the form of 6th grade bracelet making. In fact, some of the thread I used on my necklaces was from the 6th grade. (No joke. It’s in a box with my name on it.) All of a sudden the possibilities seem limitless.

Clever 18K gold and enamel chinese zodiac rings and pendants from Solange Azagury-Partidge. I learned long ago from a placemat that I’m a goat, what are you?
Posted In jewelry, wear itThe summer after high school graduation I started wearing shades that were way too big for my face, and I’ve never looked back. I started with an oval pair that had tortoise shell frames (very Jackie O.), and made my way through until I landed on my favorite a few years ago. A pair of sunglasses that were black framed, almost square, and cost $5. They broke last December as I walked into an Office Depot to buy a cordless mouse for my aunt. Memories are funny, replacing sunglasses is not. Now that the temps are on the up and up – at least here – I need to find a new pair.

It’s safe to say that I’ve followed Sarah Fox’s shop, cursive design, for some time now because I honestly can’t recall when her work first popped up on my radar. The spring/sumer 2011 lookbook was just released and I’m loving it all, Sarah has such talent when it comes to juxtaposing materials and colors. (I also like her blog lots.)
Posted In jewelry, wear itThe wedding season is almost upon us, and I have three very different weddings to attend this summer. I already purchased this dress for the first in May, but still need to get my wardrobe up to speed for the others. Here’s just a little about the events and the sort of look I’m going to attempt for each one. Do you have a go-to outfit for nuptials?
The first a late morning event, followed by a low-key reception and after-party.
Dress: Mondrian Print Dress, Calypso St. Barth
Shoes: Bonneville Wedges, Anthropologie
The second in the evening, held at an upscale location full of pomp and circumstance.
Dress: Oversize Sequin Shift Dress, ASOS (check out the back!)
Shoes: Two-Tone Sequin Pump, BCBG/Max Azria
And the third, a ceremony that remains shrouded in mystery.
Dress: Camilla silk-crepe dress, Temperley London
Shoes: Marguertie, Nine West
As in the earrings, not the dudes.
Five years ago for Christmas my stepdad gave me a set of diamond studs set in white gold, and I think I can just about count the number of times I’ve taken them off on my fingers and toes. I have small ears and they’re the perfect size, nothing too flashy, and they go with absolutely everything. In other words, perfection.
I have plenty of longer earrings, but I’m realizing I’m not really a dangley earring kind of girl. I am however hoping to get a few more pairs of classic studs to mix things up at bit.
