I saw this prenhite and sterling silver ring featured on Etsy’s homepage Sunday. McFarland Designs‘ store features many gorgeous semi-precious gemstones set in silver. If you’re into cocktail rings like I am — wow. Look at those facets!

Michelle Obama’s Take on the Double-Strand

Images via Barack Obama’s Flickr stream.
Michelle Obama gives us some middle ground between stodgy and skanky. It’s the old power necklace, the double-strand, but not in pearls.
My best guess is blue chalcedony? Or maybe jade? Love it.

JCrew Spring Stuff Out Now. Cue the Dancing Sailors!

On the one hand, it’s your typical “resort” collection — the one that comes out while there’s still slush on the ground that makes you wonder who the hell can afford to take a trip to Bermuda in late January. (Besides Michael R. Bloomberg.)
On the other hand, how can you argue with how happy, Spring-y, [...]
