The Final Friday the 13th Earrings!
Friday the 13th is always my excuse to post this gif of my silver hockey mask and chainsaw earrings, created by the once-hyped shopping app Spring. Alas, Spring is no more … and my earrings will be gone as well once my last four pairs are sold. Whether you’re a horror-movie fan, an Eminem fan,…
Coachella 2018, Day 2: Lion Babe, Cardi B, Eminem
I could have squeezed my full Coachella 2018 story into yesterday’s post, but I wanted to give some extra love to Lion Babe, which was the first act I saw on Sunday. Lion Babe is a duo consisting of singer Jillian Hervey (Vanessa Williams’s daughter!) and producer Lucas Goodman, but during a live performance it’s…
The Waiting Is the Hardest Part of Coachella
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people currently nearing the end of their long wait at the front-stage barricades during Coachella’s second weekend. Last Sunday, I spent over 12 hours doing that — with no choice but to stand for about 10 of those hours — so I could be front row for…

What Wendy Wore Dress: Ossie Clark (purchased from eBay in 2008, first seen here) Boots: Prada (2008, probably first seen here) I didn’t realize that I had acquired my entire outfit — the vintage Ossie Clark dress and the Prada boots…
A South Sea Pearl to Welcome June
Picking out birthstone jewelry for people born in June is a Choose Your Own Adventure experience. The American Gem Society lists pearl and Alexandrite as June’s birthstones. The Gemological Institute of America opts for pearl, moonstone and Alexandrite. I’ve seen other sources that say pearl and moonstone are the two June gems, and others that…

Throwback Thursday: Killer Earrings for Halloween
A year ago today, I posted a highlarious gif that shopping app Spring created with my hockey mask and chainsaw stud earrings. You can still get the sterling silver earrings from my Spring store or my own website, and you can have them in time for Halloween if you order today. Thanks again to gorgeous…
