Sunday, January 27, 2008

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:

Power to the Peacock

Peacock Hoop Earrings, £6
Accessorize

A certain someone came to the office wearing these last week. She picked them up on a weekend trip to London to visit her beau.
These lovely earrings are also quite light. They look substantial but won’t yank your lobes.

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 [...]

Sunday, May 27, 2007

The patch of land next to the Eckerd on Smith Street in Carroll Gardens is now officially the weekend home of the Brooklyn Indie Market. On my way home from grabbing some Mrs. Meyer’s from Environment 337 (expect posts on their lovely jewelry in the future), I walked through the tent.
