Things I love: Melissa

Melissa is our resident stacking aficionado, nail art enthusiast, and reincarnated mermaid.  She has Lady Godiva length hair, can draw a very cute cat (on paper and on nails!), and can instagram the hell outta jewelry.  Here are a few things she loves:

• Mermaids (i am convinced that i was one in my past life)
• My teeny tiny princess, Jet
• A good DIY glitzy mani (my go-to's include DL Boom Boom Pow or Happy Birthday layered over a dark base)
• Snake inspired jewels (Oli + Me snake rings are one of my favorites)
• Red-tinted lip balm, not to be confused with cherry chapstick
• Black on black on black on black
• Fancy (and inexpensive!) bar soaps - i am an avid user of Saipua white grapefruit for body and Victoria egg white for face
• Mismatched studs for multiple ear piercings - Catbird's 2mm dia ctmh, 14k shoot the moon studs, and 14k ear cuff mixed with Satomi's diamond bar and Nan's small 14k disc - all in yellow gold
• Ashley Lyn Clinton - what a dream boat
• Instagramming EVERYTHING

How We Wear It : New Year's Eve!

I've never been a huge fan of wearing sparkles on New Years Eve BUT I am a huge fan of wearing loads of sparklies on my fingers. So when I was tasked with building a stack worthy of a New Years Eve celebration I loaded up on colors, textures and shapes - you can see the full look dancing around on our homepage.

A few of the goodies include the following: Odette New York Klaia Triangle Ring, $280, Teardrop Opal Ring, $198, Jezebel Evil Eye Ring, $288, Oli & Me Snake Ring, $385, Twisted Stackers, $64, Turquoise Baguette, $220, Mignon Memory Rings, $48 in gold.

So here's to sparkling our way into 2013 and thank you all for making 2012 such an incredible year. xoxoxo
