Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival did a beauty shoot with fabulous photographer Anthony Friend, and a couple of my rings participated. I’m crazy about this photo of the model wearing my Clemence (18K gold with black spinel) and Nuit (sterling silver with 33-carat blue topaz) rings. The Clemence ring is available exclusively at Max & Chloe….

While I’m Waiting for Game of Thrones to Start …
… I’ll take the opportunity to brag that Julie Gerstein of The Frisky thinks my jewelry designs are “very reminiscent of Cersei, Sansa, Dany and the lot.” Woot! I’d love to see my jewelry on any of the Game of Thrones ladies, but let’s not forget about Peter Dinklage, who won an Emmy for playing…

In Dutch and InStyle
After looking over the list of English expressions that include the word “Dutch,” I feel like I have to give the Dutch a little leeway when they use English. At least, that’s what I decided after I saw a post that Dutch site Style Today did about my swear rings (and Topshop’s similar design). The…
Snakes on My Fingers, Snakes on My Lobes
April’s gold manicure — my third with Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips — didn’t last as long as my previous Sally Hansen manicures, so celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival gave me a new look sooner than expected. The “” strips are holding up nicely. Three out of four ain’t bad! I’m enjoying this look….

Beyonce Wins the 2012 Met Gala
My invitation to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art must have gotten lost in the mail — AGAIN! — and, as a result, I’m sitting at home tonight in the XXL “I Heart New York” t-shirt that I bought at JFK one fiendishly hot July day when my plane was delayed…
Nuthin’ But a “G” Ring

Gorgeous 50-something blogger Patti Gibbons — who blogs about “how to look authentic and beautiful in our middle years” — is the hostess with the mostest. If you’re a fashion blogger over 40, visit Not Dead Yet Style today to post, in Patti’s words, “an…
OMG! Tennille Is So Kinky!
I love this photo of my gorgeous body-painted friend, makeup artist/model Tennille Nielsen, rocking my OMG rings at crotch level. In case you don’t remember the rings from my recent Topshop post, here’s a closeup of them. I’ll share more pictures from Tennille’s shoot later. By the way, Tennille is my go-to girl for makeup…
Update on Topshop’s Version of My Swear Rings
I’m quote-happy today! One of MrB’s favorite quotes is, “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission.” That one is attributed to the late U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. Many of my jewelry designs are inspired by extraordinary women and I’m going to have to do a tribute to Hopper…
