Ever since I wrote about leather shorts in April, I’ve been getting blog traffic from people searching for the phrase “where can I buy leather shorts.” I like to be helpful so I’ve been keeping an eye out for interesting vintage options.

Jewels of the Month: New Swear Rings for Pre-Order
Due to popular demand, I’ve created two new swear-ring sets. The “OMG” and “LOLZ” rings are August’s Jewels of the Month and you can pre-order them for fall delivery now. Just like my original “F@#!” swear rings and their asterisk sidekick, the new rings are solid sterling silver — these aren’t bubblegum-machine rings that are…

Commenters ranged from…

It cheapens them.” — said to MrB by our handsome friend Barney. “I’m going to retweet the hell out of this!” — comedian Baratunde Thurston. “I got this dress at a…
Adventures in Engagement Ring Redesigning
I do a lot of custom work in my jewelry business. A customer comes to me with an idea and I make it a reality. Sometimes I create a piece from scratch, like I did with these dog cufflinks. Other times, customers come to me with old jewelry that they don’t wear anymore and I…
What Wendy Wore: Amazing Belzer
Last night, our generous friends Barney and Kathryn took us out for a belated anniversary dinner at Ouest. I wanted to wear something I hadn’t worn yet this year and picked a purple Black Halo dress from 2008 (see the blue version on Debra Messing here). I was running late as usual, so by the…
