cuff couture

i wonder if wearing a cuff is cop-out or a risk. i meant, for the former, you aren't required to create art from a montage of various pieces, but the latter, well, cuff's are quite the statement.

i've almost completely stopped from wearing a ring on my ring finger. i feel like people tend to jump far-too quickly to the wrong impression. but, for crying out loud, i only have ten fingers!! apropo flower child ring on shopflick.com; pyramid ring on ettika.com






i'm trying to convince myself that rings (and i suppose other jewelry, though i tend to wear rings far more often), unlike shoes and even bags are investment pieces. so, it's not a huge "gasp" if i should spend a lot on them. they're timeless, no? at least some of these are;-) better than the usual crap i scrounge from forever21...

always amazed that husband-to-be dont spring for the creative. i understand sticking with a classic, but there's something so touching (and delicious) about rings that are works of art!


peacock feathers make me shiver - not sure if it's having been bitten by one in my youth, or the amazing colors!

i've sworn of marriage (not out of any rainbow-solidarity - though, i fully support the cause), more or less out of a total lack of understanding why anyone would want to...
but i do love rings! and octopi never looked so lovely!

call me ego-centric, or the like, but i love wearing name-apropo charms...this is just lovely!
i often wonder, not just at the derivation of symbols and their usage and meaning, but of how they were originally conceived of. "fleur-de-lis" literally means lily flower, and has for thousands of years (think mesopotamia) stood as a symbol of royalty and nobility. the lily would be impossible to miss, but what possessed someone to denote it as a symbol of strength and royalty?
who knows? someone, i'm sure....

certainly couldn't hurt one in the pursuit of virtue...of course, not sure consumerism has ever been qualified as a virtue.
anyone up for a game of marbles? if you're anything like me, when you were younger, you horded marbles (more often than not, not to play with, because they were so damy perty!). with this new line from maleen-neel, we don't have to hide them in our sock drawers anymore!

i grew up in florida, and honestly, wasn't too fond of jacksonville. but, i've never stopped loving the charm of beach-inspired and beach-created fashion pieces. this coral necklace is just hot.
