Apparently all you have to do to make me want something is make it look like candy, especially when it comes to jewelry. These pieces from Portland-based Sticks and Stones are mesmerizing.{via Poppytalk}
Note to self: I really need a dual finger ring…

Posted In wear itOne of my favorite parts of the design blogging community is the rampant creativity that gets shared. A lot of this shines through in do-it-yourself projects that people take the time to figure out, organize, and explain. And lately? Just wow. The past week alone has been a minefield of amazing ideas that I can’t wait to bring into my own home and wardrobe.

A few weeks ago I undertook the task of purging/organizing my jewelry box. It had been living in my closet, but I tend to only wear what’s out and accessible so that didn’t seem very smart. I pulled together a few little white bowls and dishes for rings and bracelets, got out my necklace tree, and moved it all to my dresser. I even found a few earring displays I had squirreled away somewhere. Now I can see all of my favorite pieces and accessorize accordingly.
I really like these jewelry stands from Polli, both are made from salvaged wood and look like pieces of miniature folding art.

Each of these leather bangles from Mariebelle Campa’s shop is made from ultra soft Greek leather cord and plated tubing. They come in sets of twelve in tons of colors. (The turquoise reminded me of my friend, Karey.)

I’ve seen quite a few artists reaching out and donating proceeds from heartfelt goods being sold since last Friday’s disaster in Japan. This is the first piece of jewelry I’ve come across. wsake created this spray painted copper pendant hung from silk, reminiscent of the country’s rising sun emblem.

Let’s face it, Target has changed the way stores of its ilk work. One of the very biggest changes is fashion. As in I can now afford these huge designer labels. This month marks five years of their GO International Designer Collective, featuring every single name you see above. To celebrate they’ve brought back all the best-sellers for (of course) a limited time. I have no shame in admitting that I spent a solid half hour in the dressing room yesterday trying on no less than ten frocks. And at the end of that half hour I emerged triumphant, with this dress that I’ll be wearing to one of three weddings this summer – and it only set me back $40!
I never did the Girl Scout thing, but I remember how satisfying it felt to get a sticker on my homework or a gold star on my chore chart for a job well done. There’s something to be said about positive reinforcement, and I doubt it’s only me thinking adulthood really isn’t all that easy. Check out these merit badges from Disorderly Goods, twelve embroidered badges for things like “using your powers for good, not evil” and “giving a shit”. Super smart.

I’m crazy about these silk scarves from Liberty of London, they remind me of looking through a kaleidoscope. {via Greedy Girl}
