indie prom: for the romantics

Lockets are truly romantic, so if you’ve found yourself a girly, frilly dress, add to it with a gorgeous faux abalone locket from ColieArt.
There is space for two pictures, so you can plop one of your beau in there to surprise him and then change it out with your prom picture to remember the night.
18″ […]

what i’m buying: very vintage necklace

(image: Very Vintage)
I just bought this mere minutes ago. Very Vintage pointed her shop out to me in the etsy forums and I love all the kitsch she’s got going on in the form of earrings, necklaces, brooches and hair accessories.
So, you can’t get my little wide-eyed deer, how about a Super Mario Bros mushroom […]

There is a girl at work who is the cupcake mistress. They’re wonderful and beautiful and so so tasty. When I saw this necklace, I thought of her.
It’s got real sprinkles in it! How can you go wrong? Plus, it’s made by Lunaricsales, who is based in Iowa, where I grew up. I have […]

birthday wish: balloon dress

It’s my birthday today. I’ve officially been on earth for a quarter of a century, which really isn’t that long, but it seems like it. In honor of my birthday I’ve put together a little outfit I’d like, but will probably never have.

This isn’t a dress I’d wear every day, but it’s so cute and […]

vine necklace

Contagious is a great little shop that has simple and gorgeous jewelry. I was particularly stricken by this vine necklace, which is a significant — but not overpowering — addition to your jewelry collection. The necklace features hammered sterling silver and a carnelian bead.

red heart and crystal necklace

A long necklace with a big crystal to accent. Big necklaces are best with a simple outfit and this one would definitely stand out with a black dress or something similarly simple. ($18)

lockets from bearhead factory

When I was in the grade school, I begged and pleaded my parents for a locket. I think it was because I had just finished seeing “A Little Princess” and I think she has a locket of her dad in that movie. Anyway, begging ensued. In my head, you see, they should have naturally already […]

spoon fed art necklaces

Karin Collins is a spoon lover. She makes lots of gorgeous jewelry by filling spoons with al sorts of craziness. The result is a big pendant people would be silly not to notice. They’re great and Karin has all sorts of colors and style. They’re a little bit psychedelic, a little bit punk, and definitely […]
