PS: I'd like a statement on my finger too please

I forgot to mention this ring, also by J. Crew. I think it deserves it's own post anyway.


It's a beautiful little bird's nest. The nest is gold and the eggs come in coral or cream colors.

Sadly, it is now sold out. It is however all over Ebay. It was $65, then marked down to $50. I missed my chance, I'll have to take some on Ebay.

Statement Necklaces

About a year ago I ripped a page from a J. Crew catalog because of a the shirt in the picture. I was looking at the picture a couple weeks ago and I fell deeply in love with the gigantic bib necklace in the picture. It was bobbley, huge, and colorful. I immediately cruised over to the J. Crew website to see if they had created similar necklaces for this season.

IN FACT THEY HAD!

Though I have scoured for statement (AKA Bib) necklaces elsewhere, I haven't found any worth mentioning aside from those by J. Crew (thought Anthropologie has a few). I like that the metals are simply what hold it together and aren't intended to contribute to the statement. The entire bib is just colored pieces.

Here are a few of their styles:


I think my favorite is this and I am counting the days and the dollars in my bank account until the day I can get it.

Perfect with a scoop neck or a crisp white oxford shirt. I am thinking the Bright Berry color, thoughts?

PS: Did you know that you can get %15 off at J. Crew when you present your student ID?!?! That brings the necklace down to $127.50!

If you give a girl a watch...

While I have always stuck with silver jewelry, I recently fell in love with a watch with gold accents and well if you give a mouse a cookie, he'll probably ask for milk -etc, etc. I now need a gold jewelry wardrobe. I built one, but I am not happy with it. The weights are all a little different and well, it just doesn't work for me. Here is what I am talking about. This is my silver jewelry wardrobe -simple, classic, a little boring(?) all the same weight.




Yes it is simple, some might say boring. I never really change my necklace and I have to have a watch. I will occasionally wear a fun cocktail ring but generally I think a lot of trend jewelry is a bad idea. It ends up looking cheap. I like heavier things because they also don't seem cheap.

Here are the new watch and the necklace.


Thought's on rings and earring? Like I said I usually like chunky -but not in gold. Obviously I am looking for something light weight. I'm not a nouveau riche rapper.

Anyone?
