SHOPPING FROM HOME

Holy Crap! These Roberta Chiarella jewels are under $50 on hsn.com. There are pieces as low as $14.95. Yes, $14.95!! I'm dying! Why haven't I checked out the home shopping site sooner?

Me likey HSN.

VMan

I normally wouldn't post a men's editorial, especially one that has nothing to do with accessories -- but I've become obsessed with Adam Lambert! I'm crazy for his theatrical costumes, guyliner and individuality. These candid portraits were shot by Mark Abrahams for VMAN magazine. Enjoy!

BEACHY KEEN

I loooove Cynthia Rowley, always have! Recently I learned that she's an avid surfer, which makes sense when you consider her latest collaboration. She designed a beachy (yet chic) line for Roxy's spring 2010 collection. Check out some of the duds -- I think I'm ready to become a surfer chick!

Life's a beach, in cute accessories!

SPINNING A YARN (BANGLE)

There's no excuse for my lack of posts this week, but I've been very busy. I apologize dearly.

Over the years, bangles have become a staple in my arsenal of accessories. Because they're constantly being reinvented, I have drawers full of them crafted from various materials, like wood, Lucite, plastic, metal, Bakelite, etc...

While I've been M.I.A., I came across these bangles from The Accessory Lady. Handmade with a yarn blend of mohair and cotton, they're a perfect addition to your wooly winter wardrobe!

I'd also like to take the time to thank Carly from Chic Steals for the Beautiful Blogger award. Carly's blog is chuck full of great fashion, and the award means a lot coming from her.

With the honor, I'm required to list 7 factoids about myself -- here you go!

1. Clothing was my first love, accessories came later.

2. I'm named after my grandmother. 

3. Molly Ringwald was my style icon as a young girl.

4. I live for road trips.

5. Twizzlers are my favorite candy.

6. I'm currently obsessed with Mad Men.

7. When I was in kindergarten, I didn't know my ABC's so I copied them off the girl next to me. Along with the ABC's, I also copied her name. Ha! I saved the best one for last!

I'd like to pass the award onto:

Piper from My mom, The Style Icon

MAK from Life. Love. Couture

Violet from Violet is so Vain

THE NEW BIB

I just previewed these stunners by R.J. Graziano (available in spring), and I'm actually giddy. Being constructed completely of beads, they're unlike other bibs I've seen this season. I think they have a Bohemian feel, perfect for earthy ensembles.

What do you think?

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY...

I love this fashion piece photographed by Terry Richardson for V Magazine. In addition to being visually stunning, it truly illustrates how fashion can flatter all figures. And look at those bold baubles -- accessories know no dress size!

I ♥ NY

The inspiration behind H Williams' spring 2010 collection:

The outcome: Killer pumps.

Using the Brooklyn Bridge, the Chrysler Building and other NYC landmarks as muses, designer Heather Williams has created a collection that's both edgy and elegant. In the words of Frank Sinatra, "Start spreading the news!"
