I’m driving down to LA tomorrow for another little filming session with Tide & BlogHer, and while I have a million and one other things to do, I’m pulling red carpet looks from my closet to translate into wearable Spring style. Here are a few closeup shots of my {messy} closet {at the moment} and …
This and That… on Christmas
I have to admit that I’m not having the easiest time getting back to work after the holidays. And being that we just moved, I wish I could just take a few weeks off and say See ya after the new year! But I feel the pressure mounting. It’s lame really. I’m lucky that I …

DIY Idea: Prada Spring 2013 RTW Bracelets…
Yet another DIY idea I’ve had lingering on my desktop since September; these gorgeous bracelets from the Prada Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection. I recently saw the necklace featured in Bazaar’s December issue, which I love as well, but maybe something smaller would be a bit easier to re-create. The circles are the easy part… but …

Completely Gratuitous JEWELRY Post…
If you’re a long-time reader of my blog, this post title may sound a little familiar to you… for those of you in the dark, back in the beginning, when I first began posting my outfits here {in late 2008}, I was a little embarrassed about the narcissistic nature of the whole thing. So to …
Monday Must Have: Midsummer Collection Necklace
Handmade in Texas by Alyson Fox, I love these beaded necklaces strung on long leather cording… the fabulous vintage deadstock beads are both surprising in shape and color combinations as is the choice of white leather and brass and copper contrasts. I really just love them. I personally, would want to wear mine short, but …
Just In: Joseph Mimi Stacking Rings…

I chose the gold Chloe stackable rings from the The Jolie Collection, because they are my favorites. They are available as 1, 2, or 3 rings …
Bohemian Wedding // The Ceremonial Collection at Bona Drag
A few days ago my monthly Bona Drag email subscription arrived in my inbox and I was immediately captured by their gorgeously bohemian wedding gowns and jewelry. I clicked through, as I usually do but instead of taking me directly to their online retail site {which is amazing, if you’ve never checked it out, you …
DIY Bracelets & Anklets: Rose Gold Chain & Wire Initials & Hearts
On a hunt for some chunky curb chain to use for another DIY project I had in mind, I found and bought this very thin copper chain of the same shape but very tiny in size. While it’s not right for the original project I had in mind, I think it’s lovely all the same …
Dare to Wear: Anklets, Ankle Bracelets
via Karla’s Closet Like seed bead jewelry and friendship bracelets, I wore an anklet for much of the late 80’s and through the mid 90’s. Sometimes made from either handmade seed beads or friendship bracelets but also sometimes from leather or shells or even ethnic bells, and occasionally, a simple and delicate gold or silver …
DIY Hinge Bracelet w/ Gold Chains
I originally created this fun gold chain and hinge bracelet for SHIFT on BuzzFeed last week wherein I dueled with Geneva from A Pair and a Spare {one of my favorite fellow DIYers}. We weren’t told who we were matched up against but really, it’s more fun and creative than competition. Our only rule was …
New Acquisitions: Handbags + Shoes
Just a quick little post filled with materialism and opulence… because pretty bags and shoes make for such pretty photos, and I know you’re just dying to know what I got for my birthday, no?
