Somebody Call the Shopping Shaman to Save Me!

Alexis — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 03:26:58 +0000

I have this awful shopping curse. Whenever I find a designer that I like, I choose the item that I like the best, then I look at the price tag. Without fail, the item that I like the best is ALWAYS the most expensive. Without fail. That’s exactly what happened when I met jewelry designer Karen Curtis [...]

Jewelry With a Lot of “Om”

Alexis — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 04:35:28 +0000

I was a shopper, desperate for a unique Christmas gift. They had a booth set up at Grand Central Station (in New York City) for the holidays. When we met it was magical. Dare I say… love at first sight. Satya produces a line of yoga inspired jewelry. Think Buddha and lotus pendants, natural bead work like amethyst [...]

A Rubber Dream

When I gazed upon the jewelry line at Nervous System my heart began to pitter-patter. Whatever IT is, they get IT. And I love the IT they’re oozing. Here you’ll find complex designs, that aren’t overstated. And both the necklace and bracelet (which they’ve dubbed the Radiolaria line) are made from silicon rubber. They’re flexible and [...]

Best Friend Stocking Stuffers

Fancy, gem studded baubles are nice. But let’s face it - it’s the simple stuff that gets worn everyday. And sadly, most women don’t splurge on a nice set of everyday jewelry. Be a hero… get an important Christmas gift out of the way… AND put a smile on your favorite gal pal’s face… with a [...]

Eclectic Eccentricity Eclectricity

Do you remember Schoolhouse Rock? If you do, congratulations. You are officially in the “where’s-my-antiaging-serum” club. Anyway, one of my favorite songs from Schoolhouse Rock was Electricity. And every time I see Eclectic Eccentricity, I start superimposing Eclectic Eccentricity over the Electricity song. I know some of you Generation X’ers are feeling my Saturday morning cartoon vibe. I [...]

Ssssh… One of the Best Kept Jewelry Secrets

Alexis — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 05:39:43 +0000

Is Stir Studios, run by one of the hardest working crafty girls out there, Leeann Hynes. Before she took the indie route, she worked for an established jewelry designer that sold to companies such as Anthropologie, J.Jill, and April Cornell. And it shows. Stir Studios creations have a simple, vintagey edge. Yet there’s an excited voice associated [...]

The Color Whisperer Revealed

Alexis — Wed, 23 May 2007 07:23:05 +0000

Some people are just born with an innate knack for matching colors and styles and textures. It’s kind of like a six sense of fashion. And like a sixth sense, it isn’t naturally honed in most people. But Lula Girl is one those blessed with “the gift.” I love checking her out on Flickr. She’s so beautiful and [...]

Wear Your Tattoo Around Your Neck

Alexis — Tue, 15 May 2007 05:32:35 +0000

Aaaah… thank goodness for the freelance life. Cause I love my skin art. I tell my mom that when I’m 90, I’ll be one of many great grandma’s jetting around town with my walker and saggy tattooed skin. I’ll be right next to the beauty queens who got too much sun, and we’ll all look like we’ve [...]

Big Kudos for smallthings

Alexis — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 04:24:01 +0000

I think girls who can throw a hot flame onto a piece of metal and transform it into jewelry, are some uber talented Betty’s. That automatically qualifies jewelry designer Teresa Robinson of smallthings. In fact, if you really want to know the truth, I think she’s in a league all her own. A Betty Beyond Belief, even. Her pieces are dreamy. And they’re all handmade. Take [...]
