Tweet I sure do love leopard print, and one of my major fashion regrets is that I missed out on a two-toned leopard-print dress by Dolce & Gabbana in 2010. After I saw this bit of perfection on Rihanna I searched for it everywhere but to no avail. It was sold out in my size. [...]

Tweet Last year, I wrote a story for the Huffington Post called “The Agony and Ecstasy of a Small Business.” It dealt with economies of scale, which is something I’ve also discussed on this blog here, here and here. In manufacturing, economies of scale means that the bigger the order (of widgets, iPhones, pens or [...]

Tweet I generally don’t covet anyone else’s exact career path. You have to take the bad with the good, and I wind up thinking that one or more aspects of that other person’s experience wouldn’t be ideal for me. Like having to be Donald Trump’s daughter, for instance. But I’ve finally found my fantasy job [...]

Tweet I’m happy to say that the very apologetic and gracious peeps at Patricia Field have pulled the copy of my swear rings from the website after a chat with my gorgeous publicist, Sakita Holley.

Tweet Thanks to Ruth Graham at The Grindstone for interviewing me about all the things that weren’t in my business plan when I started designing jewelry! As you’ll see, I’m as plain-spoken as always — another taste of what you’ll get in The Bitchtastic Guide to Business™ that I’m writing. Check out the story here.

Tweet As I said in a recent post, I have worn neon-colored clothes since the 1980s. IF YOU MISSED MY HUFFINGTON POST PIECE ON NEON, CLICK HERE. When I saw this neon-pink-and-black Spring 2012 dress by designer Chris Benz last fall, I took a chance and ordered it. I don’t usually go for blousy tops, [...]

Tweet People often ask me if it’s okay to mix yellow and white metals. My answer? “Hell, yes!” I didn’t always have that mindset, though. I too grew up thinking jewelry had to be matchy-matchy.

Tweet On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal ran a story by Heidi Mitchell called “Jewelry Style Waits for No Man: Buy It for Yourself.” Here’s the lede: “For jewelers, a market is emerging for their baubles: the women who actually wear them.” I’m not sure how to react to this. Since I launched my jewelry [...]

Tweet Recently, I met with gorgeous blogger Kate of The Styley. Kate launched The Styley in March and was looking for some blogging tips. Like a lot of other new bloggers, she wondered if it made sense to start a blog now, when there are so many big bloggers already out there. In our discussion, [...]
