Tom Binns.

When I stumbled upon Tom Binn’s gorgeous jewelry for the first time it quite literally took my breath away. The depth of his collections amazed me as well the candy-colored jewels each piece revolves around. However, his Faux Real line is my absolute favorite. I could find a reason to purchase each and every piece if I wanted to and create entire ensembles around them. Hell, I’d even wear them with my pajamas. My unsexy pajamas!

Renewable Clothing.

Fernando Brizio is on the cutting edge of design with his renewable clothing. By placing colored felt-tip markers into the pockets of his dresses their appearance changes over time. Within an hour or so the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each wearing of the ensemble. The dress can then be washed and colored a different way for the next time!

Fallon BFF Lyric Necklaces.

Remember those best friend necklaces from junior high? The ones with two necklaces that were usually a heart of something split into two halves? Yeah, those. These Fallon BFF Lyric Necklaces are so much better. Each half has a half line of song lyrics on it, so only together do the necklaces make any real sense.

Cartier LOVE Bracelet.

I’m not at all the type of girl who has a penchant for high dollar jewelry. I’m just not. I much prefer vintage pieces or pieces that are destined to become vintage over most else. Brand names just don’t mean that much to me in this category.

But then I saw the Cartier LOVE bracelet. And I want it. At the moment I don’t have anyone to give it to me. Actually, let me rephrase: I don’t think I’ve ever dated anyone I would allow to literally lock me into a piece of jewelry before. Oh, I know He’s out there somewhere. Just hopefully when he finally shows up he’ll be toting this bracelet (in silver please) and a screwdriver.

Breath Palette.

Breath Palette carries toothpaste and mouthwash in 18 different flavors, and I’m not talking cinnamon or mint. Try Monkey Banana, White Peach and Pumpkin Pudding – just to name a few. Every flavor is guaranteed to leave your mouth feeling clean and fresh with a menthol finish. The flavors are created using infused oils so your grill won’t be left tasting like day old espresso.

Coil Rosette Dress.

When it comes to filling my closet I’m all over the place. I don’t really have a “go to” store or boutique. My wardrobe is best described as classic with a few trendy pieces thrown in for good measure. Those trendy pieces tend to be lower on the price scale than everything else because I know I’m most likely going to wear them for about a season and then that’ll be it. So long and see ya.

I was thrilled this past weekend when I trekked to the local mall for the first time in about three months and found a newly opened Forever 21. Overrated? Yes. But they always seems to have a few cute things that I just have to have and I drool over their cheapie accessories. My favorite purchase? This coil rosette dress. I wore it out to a swanky restaurant Saturday night and loved every minute of it.

bliss body butter.

Me and body butter generally don’t get along all that well. It always feels like I’m greasing myself up and never seems to sink into my skin. So when I got my birthday gift from Sephora last November – bliss body butter – I wasn’t all that excited about it.

And then I used it.

Holy cow. The name is misleading – it should be called ‘Heaven Masquerading as Lotion’. (Or something equally cheesy.) It’s light as a feather and melts into my skin immediately. It got me through the winter which is saying a lot. Now I’m wishing they made some sort of version with SPF for summer…
