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.

Links
I am a big believer in the power of charms and hidden messages. In God We Trust understands it as well. Since the beginning of the brand’s inception Shana has been etching out hearts with phrases like “let’s make out”, “balls to the wall” and “in it to win it”. It’s like being in a secret club, whenever I have run into another girl with a carved heart in the wobbly scrawl on her neck I know I am meeting a kindred spirit.
In it to win it.
Really f*ckin cute.
Balls to the wall.
Cage cuff.
Pippa cuff.
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.
What is wrong with me?! I can’t get enough jewelry. Every time I visit a showroom there is another amazing jewelry collection I instantly want to wear. I came across JNB (Jaqueline Nicole Brown) and was charmed by the the raw druzys, vintage vibes and sweet elephants.
The styles show above are coming out in the spring but here is the link to shop her current collection which has lots of druzy rings and earrings and enough crystal beaded bracelets you will be up to your elbows before you know it.
And she is a girl after my heart with this rad tumblr.

In love with these rad yarn cuffs by Erin Considine. She does all her own dying with natural ingredients. Check out her blog for inspirations and go here to see her collections and here to buy.
Wrist Obsession! Springtime means no more heavy coats. Bare arms means more room to show off your latest arm candy. One of my favorite #stealfromtheboys designers is MIANSAI by Michael Saiger. What started off as a menswear accessories brand a few years ago has blown up to a full fledged jewelry collection. Check out the latest colors in these nautical anchor wrap bracelets that I am sure you will want to rock all the way through summer. Get them here.
#armparty in full effect with @Samantha_Wills beaded baubles I peeped @capsuleshow. I went crazy with all the color combos and hard / soft effect of the fabrics and sharp edges.
