September Domino & Blueprint Jewelry Round-Up

Thursday, September 20, 2007

Aside from the occasional mid-pedicure peek, I don’t read fashion magazines. I almost said “women’s magazines,” but I wanted to be a little more selective with my genre-dissing.
Plus, saying I don’t read “women’s magazines” would be disingenuous, as there are a handful of home decorating pubs (as we say in tha biz) that I look [...]

Nifty Greek Bracelet by Mollie Dash

Sunday, September 16, 2007

Here’s one of my favorite pieces currently for sale.

Greek Bracelet, $55

Went back to Macy’s to find the name. (Saw it on my last trip.) Ended up taking it home.

A.V. Max: What I Bought

Monday, June 18, 2007

I almost exclusively wear jewelry with gold settings. For that reason, I usually grab gold stuff at A.V. Max’s sample sales. This time I bought a couple pieces in silver.
