I am still loving hair accessories line New York Nat!  I discovered Natalie Ann Griffith’s glamorous and unique headbands about a month ago when she was hosting a fabulous Sweepstakes for a reader to win six New York Nat headbands.

I absolutely love Roberto Cavalli shades. They’re typically so unique and stylish. So, I came across three fabulous pairs of white and gold sunglasses by RC that I just had to share.

The white is lovely, but you can order these in light ruthenium whith bordeaux lenses or you can snatch them in rose gold with green lenses. They are expensive, though. …read more

Since I seem to be on a ring kick this week – how about rings from the island of St. Thomas?
Jules Smith Designs is based in the US Virgin Islands and specializes in luxe jewelery with resort/Caribbean flavor.

This is their “Lifesaver” ring, in gold with a sterling silver detail.

This spectacular “Something You” ring holds a 3 karat peridot – I’d wear it!  Yummy

Amethyst & sterling silver make a stylish cocktail ring from the “Now & Zen” collection.

I just found out about thisisauto, an amazing webstore for the auto store in New York.  They’ve got some seriously yummy designs like…

This lovely ring is made from 18kt gold & diamonds, by designer Gretchen Julius.

This “reverse eternity” ring is by Natalie Uhl and is available in 18kt gold, platinum & palladium – with a full two karats tucked away inside the band!

I’ve had a challenging month… my grandmother passed away, and yesterday, I had to put my elderly, but much beloved mare to sleep.
I definitely need something to cheer me up!  I thought I’d concentrate on “happy accessories” today.
To start things off, here’s a purse that even has happy in it’s name!

This is the “Happy Polka Dot Bag” from Rimistyle.

I’ve had a soft spot for the Diorette collection since it was released – this ring includes yellow gold, diamonds & amethysts.
This last one is strictly for the cheer-up factor…
Presenting:

The Rubber Chicken necklace!

I just got my new email catalog from Anthropologie and thought some of their yummy jewelery fitted in perfectly with the last few posts.
They’ve got a gorgeous gold lotus ring:

An carved mother-of pearl ring that I am seriously lusting after:

And this charming “petite corsage” bracelet.  I think this one would go fantastically well with the porcelain pins.
