I’m a Scorpio by birth and wouldn’t want to be any other astrological sign. Although the fact that these vintage pendant horoscope necklaces are only available for Capricorn, Aquarius, Leo, Virgo, or Gemini makes me consider going back on that. But only for a minute. Here’s hoping that you fit in under one of the above!
Today I was reminded once again of what an awesome design shop I’m a part of. This afternoon we had our holiday gift exchange and I have to say how floored I am. My awesome co-worker, Chris, gave me Helvetica the movie which I’ve been pining over since it’s release. And my incredible boss, Jeff, gave us each a Swatch that matched our individual personality. An incredible shop and great people. I really do have it good.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s in one of my all time favorite movies and I’m a huge Audrey Hepburn fan, so when I saw this Miss Golightly necklace posted at design is mine yesterday it immediately went on my ever-expanding Christmas list. So sweet!
This hand-stamped ring is 100% diggable. It’s handcrafted, stamped and personalized with whatvever word, date, name, or whatever you decide upon. Anywhere between 20-25 characters will fit depending on the ring size. Me likey. Me likey a lot.

Not to rant or anything, but there’s so much peer pressure these days to tie the knot that I absolutely adore the idea of the Unwedding Ring. Wear it as a couple or as a singleton and make two different social statements.
I love this unusual Door Knocker necklace by Wren Eleven. A little bit quirky. A little bit vintage.
Like a lot of people, my grandmother and I used to have a tradition every Thanksgiving and Christmas where the two of us would break the wishbone. In retrospect it’s a little disgusting (breaking animal bones for luck??). But none the less great memories indeed.
Maybe that’s one reason I’m so infatuated with the Lucky Half necklace by designer Alexis Canter. Who doesn’t want to be a perpetual winner? Although I do hope Alexis decides to create a white gold or platinum version for those of us who don’t wear yellow gold.

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.
