Tweet I’ve already posted these pictures on a couple of my social-media outlets, but they’re so good I have to share them again here.

Tweet I’ve always had a passion for cherry prints. I got a Louis Vuitton Cerise cherry-print bag in 2005 in part because it reminded me of a satin-y Cynthia Rowley cherry-print dress that I wore in 1996. I got the dress at a sample sale and I was so happy with it. I wore it [...]

We didn’t see the First Couple — Beyonce and Jay-Z — in person, nor did we see Barack and Michelle Obama, but we still had a good time.

Tweet MrB says that ever since FitzRoy the cat came home with me in April, our apartment has been like a French farce, with doors constantly opening and closing. Animal traffic flow is the issue. Because I test allergic to cats, FitzRoy isn’t allowed in the master bedroom. But Gigi the dog eats and sleeps [...]

Tweet Animal-motif jewelry has been around since ancient times. Big cats are an enduring theme. When it comes to a universal concept like this, “‘Tain’t what you do (it’s the way that you do it),” as the song goes. Everyone can interpret the same idea differently. For instance, I made a tiger ring for my [...]

Tweet My Marie Antoinette earrings didn’t win an American Gem Trade Association Spectrum award, but I got positive feedback, so I feel proud anyway. Thanks to Cheryl Kremkow for including my design in her post about earring trends at the awards. READ CHERYL’S POST HERE. I already know which design I’m going to enter in [...]

Tweet Unlike this year’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Emmy Awards didn’t inspire me to bestow my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award upon anyone. Too much cement, too many safe looks. But there was one dress that made me think, “I would wear that”: Emilia Clarke’s (Daenerys Targaryen on Game of [...]

Tweet My latest Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips design — applied by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival — is called “Love Letter.” In this photo, I’m wearing it with my Hathor swivel-ring design, turquoise side up. The turquoise center of the ring flips over to reveal carnelian on the other side. Two rings in [...]
