Fingerprint Jewelry


Love the idea of fingerprint jewelry.  Have you seen it?  So cute for a mom, bride-to-be, etc.
When you order, you are sent a "mold kit" that is easy to use and you send back in a pre-paid envelope.  it's imprinted in silver and your keepsake is made! 


There are different versions available, multiple charm necklaces, monogrammed charms, etc.  There's even a mold for an imprint of your dog's nose!
Available through these two great Etsy sights:

So cute!  Put a little one-of-a-kind charm in your back pocket.

A Dash of Paprika

So it's really kinda burnt orange...paprika sounds more decorator-y.  That being said, a little goes a long way toward warm and cozy fall decor.

It's Baaaack


The J. Crew "Bubble" necklace is back. Now, I have some history with this necklace.  When it came out a couple of years ago it was one of the first "bib" necklaces around.  I flip-flopped daily wondering whether to buy it or not.  Would I wear it?  Is $150 too much?  Should I go in half-sies with Jen and share it (ergo my ability to justify purchases.)?  Alas, I did not become an owner of the bubble necklace.  (Although I must admit that I checked out the stock on E-Bay a time or two.)



Well my friends...It's back.  Is it a sign?  The good (or bad) news is it only comes in RED or BLACK. Not really feeling those two colors.  

So for now, I will keep some extra $ in my back pocket.

The Ol' Denim shirt

We stil love the ol'denim shirt...or maybe do we love it again?  Either way it's a definite staple in our full-of-basics wardrobe.  
I own this one from Madwell.  I wanted it to be a bit more rugged this time.

J Crew has a couple of styles and fabric weights to choose from...




They even have them at H&M for $19.50


or Target for $22.99

There are a million ways to wear it...






Polyvore

This is how you wear it with denim..

Unlike this...


I crack myself up...:)

Get yourself a new denim shirt this fall...

Love/Hate: Ikea

I took a little trip to Ikea to buy a Billy Bookcase for my closet.  My wired shelving came right out of the wall last week...which I didn't really like anyway cuz things fall through it. 
I was hoping my closet will now look a little like this...well, ok, at least more organized

I'm expecting to feel a little "celebrity-ish" when I put my purses
handbags on a shelf... 

This is how my visit went....

The store was under construction-like it isn't a maze ANYWAY! 


I had to tackle this, which is hard enough without any construction!


Couldn't find one of these guys to help me....



...and my sentiments exactly when I finally got home and had to put the darn thing together...

I'll keep you posted on my snazzy new closet addition.
