Sequin Keeps it Real

Never heard of this brand and can’t find a company website. (Google “Sequin jewelry” and you’ll see what I mean.) Loved these bangles from Nordstrom:

Here’s the kicker: you can also buy their stuff from HSN! Way to bring it, Sequin.

Showstopping Spring Rings at Banana Republic

It’s vaguely annoying to have to ask a salesperson to take a $38 dollar ring out from a display case. But I’ve seen these guys in person, and they’re delicious. They only reason I didn’t buy one is because I couldn’t make up my mind: cherry, or pistachio?

Very Pink, Very Cute Betsey Johnson Bracelet

I tried this one on at Macy’s a few weeks ago. It snaps tightly on its hinge and feels snug around your wrist. And it’s pink!

Cuffs, Cuffs, Cuffs at Banana Republic

Leslie — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 00:33:32 +0000

Most of them prominently feature enamel — which is pretty, and colorful, but somehow is starting to seem slightly 5-minutes-ago.

This one piqued my interest:

Abigail Percy Earrings

Straightforward beauty.

Aventurine Earrings…, $30

Fun fact: if a gemstone exhibits Aventurine-like qualities, it is said to demonstrate aventurescence. I love that.

Extra party bonus fun fact: the name Aventurine comes from the Italian “a ventura,” or “by chance.” (Same link as above.)

Tack så mycket, Smosch : )
