Once When I Was
my interwebs:
Here is where I share my fashion and beauty inspiration, my daily life as a fashion stylist and personal style blog. I have a major obsession for accessories and love discovering new designers.

There is something that feels so warrior woman to me about these pieces from Lillian Crowe’s Silk Road collection. It could be the arrowheads. Or that the pyramids make me think about Cleopatra. Whatever the imagery is that spins in my brain when I try these talisman on it is empowering. Isn’t that the one of the best things about jewelry?

Bones and Feathers
Here I go again, rambling on about another jewelry designer. But that’s ok, that’s what I am here for, right. (Please say yes, to validate my blogging existence.) If I see it and I love it; why wouldn’t I share it? Meet Bones and Feathers.
I got a chance to view the Spring ‘13 collection (in the blue boxes) that has an art deco influenced but balanced with an earthy sensibility filled with arrowheads and cosmic geometric patterns.
The Fall ‘12 pieces are a bit more literal to the brand name with vertebrae and bone castings and are available on their site. A major statement piece is the snake bone necklace. I especially loved the blue cylinder pieces with rattlesnake vertebrae bracelet (top left).
I was also pleased to hear that the jewelry is all made in LA. Since moving here from NY, I have to say, it is really refreshing to meet so many designers that are producing here in the US.
@ladygrey has such a fantastic #crystal black, white and grey collection. How can you pick just one?
Lifetime Collective was a brand I loved to shoot when I was at ANTENNA magazine. It was always a one of those brands that KG & I wanted to keep even though it was menswear. In the past few seasons they have started a women’s line and there are plenty of cute collabos to go around.
I think this Ritz cracker necklace from the Garnett Jewelry collection is so cute! If you want it, get it!
Layering colorful necklaces is a great way to up the ante on a simple white tee. I discovered Adesso Jewelry out of Santa Barbara when I was at the Bollare preview. To view and shop the full collection click right here.
I was quite taken with the precious gemstones clustered just so in the designs by Charme Silkiner that I viewed @Bollare for the #BollarePressDay. To browse similar styles of earrings that can be purchased here click here and for necklaces here.
I went bonkers when I stumbled upon the collection @GildaGrey @capsuleshow last week. Not only was there plenty of #neon everything has this fresh take on deco designs moving into the FW12 season. See for yourself here.
