			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aside from the occasional mid-pedicure peek, I don&#8217;t read fashion magazines. I almost said &#8220;women&#8217;s magazines,&#8221; but I wanted to be a little more selective with my genre-dissing.</p>
<p>Plus, saying I don&#8217;t read &#8220;women&#8217;s magazines&#8221; would be disingenuous, as there are a handful of home decorating pubs (as we say in tha biz) that I look forward to every month.</p>
<p>I have noticed, however, that <a href="http://www.dominomag.com/">Domino</a> and <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/blueprint">Blueprint</a> are coyly calling my bluff by dropping in passing references to fashion inbetween wallpaper-hanging tips. They know I <em>think</em> I&#8217;m too cool for InStyle, etc., but that I secretly enjoy it when they tell me where to buy, I don&#8217;t know, <a href="http://www.jansdotter.com/">Lotta Jansdotter</a>&#8217;s earrings.</p>
<p>Anyway: here&#8217;s the post where I let you know what jewelry Domino &amp; Blueprint think upwardly-mobile DIY hipster types should be into. And, yes, I did use those annoying Conde Nast sticker tabs to mark the pages.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.baubleandchain.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/domino_logo.gif" alt="domino_logo.gif" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.baubleandchain.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/haydenharnett_cuff_billyidol.jpg" alt="haydenharnett_cuff_billyidol.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://haydenharnett.com/index.cgi?action=detail&amp;style=RAMONECBLK&amp;back=http%3A%2F%2Fhaydenharnett.com%2Findex.cgi%3Faction%3Dsearch%26search%3Dramone%26ok.x%3D0%26ok.y%3D0">Hayden-Harnett Ramone Studded Slim Cuff</a>, Black, $90 (page 32)<br />
<a href="http://haydenharnett.com">Hayden-Harnett</a></strong><br />
<strong>Likelihood I will purchase: </strong>0/5. If I&#8217;m buying Hayden-Harnett leather, I&#8217;m getting a bag.</p>
<p><a href="http://haydenharnett.com"><img src="http://www.baubleandchain.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/celestina_cuff.jpg" alt="celestina_cuff.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.vivre.com/control/product/~category_id=40028/~product_id=39877;jsessionid=335B138AD2E035A11DB56A42C8C14C69.vvprod1">Celestina Cuff</a>, $2990 (page 137)<br />
<a href="http://www.vivre.com/control/main">Vivre</a> and Kirna Zabete<br />
Likelihood I will purchase: </strong>0/5. I love it, but it&#8217;s too freaking expensive. Come on.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.baubleandchain.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/ccsky_bridgetsnake.jpg" alt="ccsky_bridgetsnake.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://secure.activeendeavors.com/product/1/2/1818/">Bridget Snake Earrings</a>, $134 (page 162)<br />
<a href="http://www.ccskye.com/">CC SKYE</a> at <a href="http://secure.activeendeavors.com/index.php">Active Endeavors</a></strong><br />
<strong>Likelihood I will purchase:</strong> 0/5. My ears aren&#8217;t pierced, and the snakes remind me of a ring I bought at the Jax Brewery on my eighth grade field trip. I don&#8217;t mean that in a good way.<br />
<img src="http://www.baubleandchain.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/mesi-jilly_ring.jpg" alt="mesi-jilly_ring.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.vivre.com/control/product/~category_id=9001/~product_id=37265">Mesi Jilly Ring</a>, $300 (page 164)<br />
<a href="http://www.mesijilly.net/">Mesi Jilly</a> at <a href="http://www.vivre.com">Vivre</a></strong><br />
<strong>Likelihood I will purchase: </strong>3/5.  One of the most beautiful rings I&#8217;ve seen in a very long time. Love it. But not night now.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT I WISH DOMINO HAD TIPPED ME OFF ABOUT</strong>: Cindy Greene&#8217;s chunky two-strand yellow necklace on the cover.</p>

<a href="http://www.forever21.com">Forever 21</a><br />
Likelihood I will purchase: </strong>1/5. There is a Forever 21 close to my office, but it&#8217;s a disaster. And this necklace isn&#8217;t very tempting.</p>
<p>+ a pair of earrings and a necklace from Banana Republic that I can&#8217;t find anywhere on their site;</p>
<p>+ some cute bangles from Leekan Design, an NYC boutique that is Web presence-less;</p>
<p>+</p>
<p><img src="http://www.baubleandchain.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/himatsingka_ring.jpg" alt="himatsingka_ring.jpg" height="203" width="203" /><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.shoppersimmon.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=8&amp;products_id=239">Square Outline Ring (similar)</a>, $2,040 (page 114)<br />
<a href="http://www.shoppersimmon.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=8">Priya Himatsingka at Persimmon</a></strong><strong><br />
Likelihood I will purchase: </strong>0/5. I love it almost as much as the shell ring above&#8230;but I can&#8217;t see myself forking over the big bucks.</p>
<p>+ a vintage gold feather pin by &#8220;Ruby Lola.&#8221;</p>
<p>And there you have it.</p>
