Quick! Run to the newsstand and buy the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine — the one with Miley Cyrus looking fabulous on the cover. My emoji earrings are mentioned under “Emoji Mania” on the “What We’re Into This Month” page. Here’s a closer look. And here’s something interesting: Of the two earrings shown, only the…

Halloween Is Coming and My Skull Rings Are Hot
Thank you to gorgeous Marissa Stempien.com of JustLuxe.com for including my Memento Mori skull ring in her story on “dark and sinister” jewelry! I’m in exceptionally good company, considering an Alexander McQueen design is also on Marissa’s list of “the creepiest, most hauntingly beautiful jewelry.” Click the photo to read the story. In addition, my…
Three Lovely Ladies in Thongs (Thong Sandals, That Is)
In June, I saw lots of wimmins in Paris wearing flat, leather, thong sandals everywhere … even though it was raining and the high temperature was in the low 60s. (I was wearing a trench coat and boots.) I thought, “Damn, these ladies are so excited to wear these sandals they’re risking frostbite!” That interested…
My Sixth Blogversary and a New Huffington Post Story
Time flies when you’re having fun — and even when you’re not having fun! It’s my sixth blogversary today. To celebrate, I will be lazy: Instead of writing a big post here, allow me to direct you to my latest piece on the Huffington Post, featuring a fashion-blogger slideshow. For a while, I was bummed…
Another Fashion Blogger Casting Call for the Huffington Post
Thanks to everyone who submitted photos for the trend story I’m working on for the Huffington Post. Keep an eye on my blog and Twitter, and I’ll let you know when it is live. It will either be the end of this week or the beginning of next week, because I still have some interviews…
Pimm’s Fest 2013 and Other London Adventures
A week ago today, I was enjoying my annual Pimm’s Fest with my gorgeous London blogger friends. The fest started in 2008, when I met up with Sharon of Thrift My Style and the lovely lady behind the since-abandoned Times of Glory blog to shop Trudie Styler’s castoffs (why didn’t I buy more?! I’ve got…

Customer of the Day: Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams
Gorgeous jewelry blogger Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams has been one of my clients since 2008. My silver Diana heart ring is among her past purchases. More recently, she acquired my bunny stud earrings in sterling silver. You can buy those (or their 18K-gold siblings) singly … … or in pairs. As I mentioned in…
Jewelry Can Make You Strong, Part II
I met gorgeous blogger Mardel of Resting Motion in 2011, when a group of bloggers gathered for drinks during Fashion Week. If she didn’t have to leave a little early that night, I might have never have gotten around to talking to anyone else. Mardel and I just happened to sit next to each other…
Customer of the Day: Susan of Une Femme d’un Certain Age
I need to start a Customer Hall of Fame because it seems like a bit of an understatement to describe gorgeous blogger Susan of Une femme d’un certain age as a “customer of the day.” Susan has been a customer of mine since 2008, when she bid on the Diana heart necklace I was auctioning…
