Jewelry Feature of the Week: Double Mint Quartz

Double Mint Green Quartz Ring

The Jewelry Box Challenge

After rummaging through a jewelry box from a childhood friend of mine I struck “GOLD,” literally!  She had so many lost pieces of jewelry that my creative juices started flowing as I picked out all the odd pieces one by one.  Promising to her a special custom piece of jewelry, I tasked myself with the ultimate jewelry challenge of the month. Oh and by the way I actually organized all of her jewelry while another one of my childhood friends shook her head in disbelief.  Stay tuned until next month and I’ll reveal what I concocted from all of these pieces.  Who knows my next adventure might lead me to your very own jewelry box

Digital Fashionista

We hear other women say all the time, “I can’t live without my blackberry,” or
“Damn—I forgot my cell phone at home—what am I going to do.”  Fashionista have become so equipped and dependent upon cell phones, PDAs, iPhones and etc;  I was surfing on my Touch the other day and downloaded an application from Lucky! magazine that I thought was so useful and ingenious.  This application allows the fellow fashionista to surf the picture archives of the many accessories, apparel and shoes that is featured in the current issue of Lucky! magazine and gives the location, price and availability of the product.  You can even reserve the merchandise and just pick up at the store.  I was even able to make a purchase right on my Touch.  Digital devices just make it so convenient for one to get what they want when they want.

Even Sony unveiled the cute and clever “clutch,” which I thought was a clever idea indeed.  In fact if I didn’t have a Mac I probably would have broken down and purchased one just because of its cuteness.  Adding the cherry to the top of the sundae, Sony stores nationwide sent out a e-letter to fellow fashionistas invited them to their stores for a “Girls Night Out,” to test out the little clutch device.  Also if you haven’t seen Vivienne Tam’s clutch design from HP, it’s also definitely a plus.

Let’s also not forget about social networking sites like Twitter which is also a trend among the digitally savvy fashionista.  My newest fix however is stylehive.com.

Shoe Fetish

Lela Rose $38

I have to admit I have inherited a shoe fetish gene from my mother.  There’s nothing I love more than buying shoes.  My husband can admit it drives him crazy.  I was flipping through the pages of my new Lucky magazine the other day and spotted these adorable heels.  Now, I didn’t realize they were from Payless until I read the fine print.  They are very cute and also a very nice price.  Made by Lela Rose they retail at only $38.  Kind of high for Payless shoes—I know, but they are very adorable.
