I hear there’s some big sporting event today that involves jewelry, guys in tight pants … and Madonna. Ha! I’ve always thought that football had homoerotic undertones. Clearly, everyone’s about to come out of the closet en masse, as I first anticipated in October. I’m going to celebrate this happy occasion by offering a serious…
Valentine’s Day Countdown, Day 4: Squirrel Necklace
Nuts about her? Let her know on Valentine’s Day by giving her my dainty silver squirrel necklace. (The little guy is holding a teeny-weeny acorn.)
Minx Manicure and Valentine’s Day Countdown, Day 3
Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival came up with a Minx manicure for me that’s so heavenly we named it “The Divine.” She layered gold lace-patterned Minx — designed by her manicurist friend Naja — over a burgundy layer for a stained-glass effect. Stained glass made us think of cathedrals, which made me think of one of…
Valentine’s Day Countdown, Day 2: Vampire Diana Ring
If you’re in the Los Angeles area, you’re in luck! You can go to Broken English Jewelry in Santa Monica and try on the one and only gold Vampire Diana heart ring I’ve made so far. The design of the heart pierced by a “wooden” stake was inspired by my love for the television show…
Valentine’s Day Countdown, Day 1: Pink Opal Earrings
Valentine’s Day is coming right up. Time to buy something for your Valentine, email your Valentine a very specific “hint,” or just treat yourself! (That last option is very popular among my independent-minded customers.) Pink gems are romantic, so my first Valentine’s suggestion is a luxurious pair of shoulder-brushing earrings featuring pink opal drops and…
Jewel of the Month: WTF Rings (on a Good Girl Gone Bad)

My previous ones are: Red legs Leopard print Maxis Mullet (high/low) hemlines Snake print and color blocking Houndstooth Peplums My new theme is button-down denim shirts. I’m seeing them on all of you! If you want your picture to…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Black Mesh
When I saw a mesh-topped Hervé L. Leroux dress in US Magazine, I flashed back to a bodysuit I wore in the summer of 1993. Check out those mom jeans! That’s how we rolled back then. I also had no knowledge of flat irons, as you can tell from my hair. Flat irons are very…
My Best Dressed at the SAG Awards: Rose Byrne
I started watching the red-carpet coverage of the Screen Actors Guild Awards yesterday, but nothing caught my eye, so I moved on. Too many of the same pale shades we saw at the Golden Globes for me. I did see actress Rose Byrne being interviewed, but close-up only, so I just gave her bangs the…
Recap: Rising Star, Lookbook Photo, Small (& Big) Biz
I know lot of people aren’t online on the weekends. So, now that you’re all back at work and looking to be unproductive, I figured I’d do a recap of my weekend posts. If you followed my tweets about my lookbook shoot last Wednesday, you can’t miss the first of photographer Shane LaVancher’s stunning pictures…
