Happy {Spring} Weekend.

Spring officially makes its debut this weekend! Today we’re experiencing 70º weather, but tomorrow is promising somewhere between 6 and 14 inches of snow and a high of 39º. File that under Things That Make You Go Hmm. I plan on visiting a good dive bar tonight with some friends, then pending the snowstorm possibly hitting up a roller derby bout tomorrow among other things. Happy Weekend!

nashelle.




I would happily add any of these pieces from nashelle to my wear every day arsenal of go-to jewelry. Jeweler Heather Beeson creates them all using recycled silver and gold along with semiprecious stones. My absolute favorite is the first chain, I’m loving the mixture of chain finishes an textures – a beautiful Frankenstein of a necklace.

Covet Jewelry.

I’ve said again and again and again how I don’t like yellow gold. But lately I find myself being drawn to just that. Are my tastes changing or am I just seeing it done the right way? The W 10TH Gemstones collection from Covet Jewellry is designed to perfection. Especially the teeny delicate rings.

Symmetry.


I’m sort of kind of in love with Symmetry. Ted Byrnes and Gena Tuso are launching their accessory line that focuses on scarves this coming fall and I can hardly wait. The hardware pieces on each one make my heart flutter. {via Shiny Squirrel}

PS: Does it feel a wee bit Irish to you, too?

Falling Whistles.

Let’s bring back the whistle in a big way. And let’s look cute while doing it by wearing one of these pendant necklaces. One hundred percent of the sales from Falling Whistles goes to advocating for the freedom and rehabilitation of child soldiers in the Congo.

Snoozer Loser NY.

Spring is about being flirty, being outside and wearing flowing fabrics. Snoozer Loser NY captured it all in their spring collection this year. Here are just a few of the pieces I’d like to add to my wardrobe.

spinthread.

spinthread has been making its rounds for a few months now, but it wasn’t until I saw Erin’s necklace in person at the Alt Summit that I really fell for Lorena’s work. And wow, have I fallen hard. I love her attention to detail and all the vibrant color combinations she uses.
