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!

Michelle Obama’s Take on the Double-Strand

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.

Happy Beads from A.V. Max

Leslie — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 12:15:13 +0000

I keep this long necklace on my dresser, not because I wear it often, but because I love to look at it.

I busted it out last weekend to put a little pep in my step.

Happy Beads (my name, not theirs), 2007 A.V. Max sample sale. $15?
