In the past week, I received a number of emails and tweets from gorgeous readers who are concerned about my situation with Topshop, so I realized I should give you an update. But first I’m going to go way back to the beginning for the sake of those of you who don’t know the story,…

With Age Comes Wisdom … and IDGAF Style
I’m amused by the many people on my Twitter timeline who think that old age begins at 30. That doesn’t surprise me; I felt the same way. (Now 30 is the good old days to me. Oh, if only I knew then what I know now, etc.) It’s human nature. In 1827, the almost-49-year-old English…
Fifth Blogversary
I started this blog five years ago today. In my initial post, I warned that I wouldn’t be blogging much. Two days later, I discovered Britney Spears had “borrowed” one of my rings without permission. Of course, I had to share that online, and after that, I couldn’t stop. Since then, I’ve changed the name…

London Bloggers, the Queen and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Cobbler
Tomorrow is the 4th of July. Normally, I’d be packing to go to London to visit my peeps there. Then I’d go on to Paris for Bastille Day. But my summer travel got pushed up to June this year. I didn’t have time to blog about the trip as it was happening because I spent…
Jewels of the Month: Sulky and IDGAF Necklaces
I’m constantly working on new jewelry. I have three 18K gold pieces in the works, as well as one silver ring. I also have wax models made for two other 18K gold pieces and I’ve got ideas for dozens of other designs that I’ll do when I can afford them. Getting started on a new…
The More Rings, the Merrier
One of the definitions of “minimal” is “barely adequate,” so I can’t condone minimalism when it comes to jewelry, especially rings. Rings are my favorite jewels because the wearer can easily look at them the whole day unlike, say, earrings, which require a mirror. The more rings, the merrier. The most rings I’ve worn simultaneously…

Surrender to Pink
Studded and spiked shoes have been done to death, and I thought the look would never appeal to me again. Well, you know what I say about the word “never”; I might as well replace it with “definitely” when it comes to fashion. Gorgeous blogger Poochie of Shoe Daydreams posted these shoes by Ruthie Davis,…
