Best Friends

Jewelry that celebrates friendship is so reminiscent of the fifth grade, sleepover parties and cat fights alike. stay nostalgic with THESE updated friendship accessories.

Omg. these are amazing! Doloris Petunia by Courtney Prince on Etsy. Swarovski crystal friendship bracelets. i can't believe these exist, i'm in love.

These free people oversized friendship bracelets are so hot!

This wild fox necklace on karmaloop also comes in a bracelet

Of course, Dannijo's Lindsay bracelet is such a bright, fresh take on the classic

These braided bracelets from Ettika each have a charm! including: evil eye, feather, star of david, and a ton of others. you can customize by picking color and the charm in either gold or silver!

Big Things

So today, i listed my first item on etsy which was as exciting as pressing a button could possibly be.

i also fell in love with this sickkkkk necklace made out of paper beads, which i'm obsessed with:

Love ya

Let's Bangle

Too lazy to get dressed and tame your afro in the morning before class? me too. So chunky, distracting arm jewelry is my way to say "hey, i'm not homeless, this look is intentional, i'm fashionable."

five hot bracelets that pack a punch:

gold textured bangle at Nordstrom

Vanessa Mooney Poppystar bracelet.. not a bangle, but still jingles like a pro

Printed Enamel Hermes in orange and black (so many cool designs)

Forever 21 Lacquered Bracelet

a motto of mine. Kate Spade at Nordstrom

YUM

today sucked, here's some fun shit on my computer

*tear*

An Early Shmalentines Day

Yup, i'm that girl whose never had a boyfriend on valentines day.  So you can imagine that I've had plenty of time to fantasize about the charming and miraculous valentines presents that I should have gotten by now, and dreaming up the most romantic ways for Mr. Right to surprise me with diamonds and pearls.  This is how someone should make me icy this year:

Yummy.

I can't not include this one. Double points because these pink sapphires represent my birthstone :)

Nothing like people coming together for a good cause. My imaginary boyfriend would be helping Haiti and my entire jewelry collection at the same time if he got me this Rachel Roy ring!

statement necklace! boys who know their fashionista girlfriend's style to a tee should get them something loud and proud like this pearl necklace.

For those few who have no boyfriend, no job and class all day like me you can spend your nights tediously crafting your own jewelry... like these cuffs a la me :)

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Maybe it's just me, but I feel a reallllllllly looming obligation to enjoy the winter since I live in New England.... I soooooo don't! So that's what i've been doing basically... not enjoying the winter and trying to totally enjoy everything that takes my mind of the shitty weather.... namely....

STELLA!! my new child who is my best friend and will be the best winter playmate this year!

Baked

Whoops I guess I haven't blogged in kind of a while....

but that's because I've been doing TONS OF SHIT ie. making ridiculous amounts of jewelry, building furniture, putting up a trellis and zen garden in my backyard, and B A K I N G. Baking is definitely the new love of my life.. even though i tend to be pretty finicky when it comes to life long love... or really anything longer than a couple months or so... but for now, baking is IT for me!

this is some of the sweet stuff i've been making:

yay for cupcakes!
