Why don't you...

Put fruit on a cake stand.

Make your food do double duty as decor.

Wishful thinking

This weather has me thinking about spring.
I liked the idea of lady-like ruffles with some fun details. The necklace has a little elephant charm and the tiny hoop earrings (on chest) are made of little hearts.



Oh, and obviously I have a new camera! Thanks, mom! Now I can post pictures again. Like this outfit with my framed portraits of MLK, JFK and RFK. As always, you can click on the pictures to make them larger.

New Year...

New Earrings.

I just picked up these beauties for 50% off at Swarovski.
Love them! They were featured in the January Lucky Magazine. The thing that makes them unusual is that they're clip ons!

Clip ons are coming back. The good thing about clip on earrings is that your ears can hold more weighty earrings without getting that saggy earlobe look.

Check out these beauties by Siman Tu:


You can buy similar ones at Vivre.

In addition to awesome clip on earrings, another trend I foresee for 2010 is:

Friendship bracelets!!!

You can buy them, like this gorgeous one from Etsy (here), but you should break out your stash of embroidery floss and make your own.

Trends should be fun and these two definitely are. Happy New Year!
