pierced.

Even though I associate getting my ears pierced with being 10 years old and hanging out anxiously at Claire's in the mall, I can't help but wondering if it's worth adding to my four-gem collection 20 years later.  Lately I've been loving these pierced ears that have a smattering of dainty gold and diamond accents - both ladylike and cool at the same time.  Maybe I'll just start with one... or two... or three...

damn you leif, for continually adding new products that tempt my wallet and challenge me to find room for yet another box, trinket, or colorful doodah in my home.  but how can i resist when everything they have is so lovely?  perhaps i don't have to...

a good day for some marble.

i still have marble on the brain and this time it's manifesting itself in jewelry, specifically that of the extremely talented ms. kathryn blackmore, aka the vamoose.  i have long appreciated the delicate and sophisticated touch she has with her design, and i love that even with an unusual (for jewelry) and rugged material like marble she is able to create pieces that still feel quite feminine and new.  i'm struggling not to order it all!  see more from her collection here.
