Blingers

I've wanted a nameplate necklace for a really long time, and it has nothing to do with a certain Carrie Bradshaw. In fact I didn't even want my name, in part because there's too many jerkfaces in the sea of millions here that would abuse that. I guess I wanted something more, er, "clever"? I forget where I saw it, probably some recent editorial, but the model had a nameplate necklace that said "Nobody." That was my AHA moment, so as soon as I had the chance, I headed down to Chinatown, and ordered up "Somebody." I'm kind of a smartass so it suits me well!

While i'm on this topic of shiny bold lady jewelry, I've been coming across some pretty sweet big earrings lately. I'm usually more of a tiny stud person myself (I have these silver cubes that have not left my ears), but look at these hoops...nothing but net!

Then there's this amazing piece from Ann-Sofie Back I spotted at Daily Projects that I don't remember seeing in her Fall collection. I don't even understand how this stays on your ear but it's totally badass! Instant sci-fi elf status.

For the gold

I'm not much of a clutch person but look at this thing Matt Bernson made! It's a gold bar that unhinges to store anything you might need on a night out- pretty conceptual for a guy that mainly makes shoes, and just in time for New Years. Get yer swag on!

Fool me once

My love of crystals and chunky mineral rock jewelry is still very strong and I've been scoping out the perfect fool's gold/pyrite piece for my growing jewelry collection. Of course I turned to Etsy as it never fails to produce, and found this pyrite rock necklace which was just what I had hoped to find. I can't wait to ROCK it!!

I roll with the devil

I mostly wear silver but I'll change my mind if it's an epic piece of jewelry like this golden hand giving the devil horns. Adeline Affre makes tons of other fun pieces so go have a look.

Everything I touch turns to gold

So it's friday, the end of my first week at my new job, and I'm feeling golden. Here is some inspiration from Karmaloop. (ps. they are having a huge sale)
