Functional Jewelry Week (Maybe a Fortnight)

There are few things in life that really perk me up- jewelry is definitely one of them. I love the crazy stuff in magazines that only Gaga or Fergie can pull off, and classic aesthetic of something by Elsa Perretti.

However, nothing rocks my world harder then something that's a twofer. That's right something that can have more then one purpose really makes me happy. Really it can be anything, but I happen to love jewelry that can do this. I guess my love affair dates back to one of my all time favorite movies, The Client. Susan Sarandon shows a very cute (mind you I was 10 when this movie came out) Brad Renfro her compass necklace. A symbol of her sobriety "to keep her going in the right direction." I also love compasses because I am a woman of the sea- so it's all the better.

This week (and maybe next week too) I will be posting about functional jewelry. Stay tuned for the ridiculous, the must have, and the gorgeous pieces that I will be showcasing here!


Compass Necklace

Also available in a key chain, cuff links, bracelet, ring, and earrings go check them out!

Fantasy Friday- NavaHO

I am loving all of this tribal wear that is gracing our stores this year. Today's fantasty and a potential reality for all you big spenda's is from nOIR jewelry. This Kickapoo necklace had me with it's multi-strand multicolored wonderment. In LOVE! Only $195.00 smackers!

available here

Inspiration

I am in love with this print... I am about to move and I think it would look great in a kitchen or over a bed. Nice work K. Callaghan!

Rain

It's a rainy day here in the Chi. Check out these Rain Within Earrings from Anthropologie. I just discovered their "For the collector" section. Let's just say I am obsessed. Go check it out. Also my pal over at D&D is hosting a give away for a pair of my earrings! Enjoy the day

Rashing Out

The area around my armpits looks like this poor individuals back. It's balls hot here in the Chi and while I want to be outside enjoying every hot moment I can, my skin is scorned with this crap. So while I want to crawl out of my skin, and onto a giant float in the middle of a pool. Alas I am stuck with the AC rollin' on full blast trying not to pry my flesh off. So much for writing about killa jewels today... but have you been over to my Etsy page lately? Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Fantasy Friday

I've decided that in the spirit of my fellow bloggers, I am going to start a Friday Fantasy- it sounds so racy and ridiculous! This week's feature is of course by Tiffany. It's the kinda ring that can be worn with nothing else, and is so in-your-face gaudy you can't get enough. As sapphire is my birthday stone, I have a special attraction to it. For now it's on the list of things I will never be able to afford.

Holy Guac

I swear, my lack of posts is due to creating some killa pieces!
