Jewelry
Three Bloggers, Two Hats, One Ring
One of my jewelers has developed a passion for taking videos with his iPhone. Here I am looking dubious about it. I’m wearing the hat gorgeous blogger Jennine got for me at Tar-Jay. I think it’s a lot better than this chicken hat that I tried on while out on the town with another gorgeous…

Epic Outfit Post: Electric Lady Gaga Land
I saw Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday and she kicked so much ass that I’m traumatized … traumatized that I didn’t get tickets for a second night. What was I thinking? I should have known once wasn’t enough! I realized that about Madonna years ago and now I always buy tickets…
Help a Blogger in Need
I’ve got bad news for you. Blogger Janet of Je Ne Sais Quoi (also known by her blogging identity, iheartfashion) suffered a tragic loss this week when her husband took his own life. He had been unemployed for a period of time. Janet has two children, ages 7 and 9. She needs some financial help….
Minx Manicure #3: J.Lo, Beyonce and WendyB*
I don’t get manicures as often as I should, considering that wearing large rings is a requirement for my business and people are always looking at my hands. I get so bored during manicures that I delay until I realize that broken-off nails of varying lengths are distracting people from the beauty of, for instance,…
Jewel of the Month: Susan Earrings
Centuries ago in blog years — or 16 months ago, according to the calendar — I held an online auction to raise money for NieNie, a blogger who had been severely injured in a plane crash. The highest bidder won blue topaz earrings, a specially engraved silver Diana necklace and immortality in the form of…
Be Pretty in Pink for Less
As I’ve said before, I’m discontinuing my Mignonette earring style in order to focus on new designs. I have just a few Mignonettes remaining, including my all-time favorite pair in 18K white gold, diamonds and beautiful pink-striped rhodochrosite. This is the only pair I made with rhodochrosite so it is one-of-a-kind! These earrings are normally…
We Are Amused by Undead Royals on Twitter
People who haven’t tried Twitter assume that it’s nothing but dull announcements of intake and output: “Making lemon bars…yum!” “I need to go pee.”*A There’s a lot of that, but Twitter also can be very interactive and I’ve had great conversations there. Some of my favorite dialogues have been with a Twitterer who isn’t online…
Ringing in 2010, Two by Two
Twenty-four of our closest friends joined me and MrB for my traditional New Year’s Eve/belated birthday celebration on Thursday night. We had dinner at Balthazar, which has also become a tradition. I already gave you a glimpse of the Zang Toi gown I wore. Here’s the whole look. My gorgeous friend Stacy — who, as…
