Weapons of Fashion: copperhead strikes

What is my obsession with weapons this week?! Brass knuckles, guns and now copperhead snakes? I am not a violent person. These are just the things I thought about as I was designing in different metals. I am loving the new long necklaces. They are so simple, affordable, trendy, and beautiful.

Garnet Theme Songs
I made this necklace for a friend's birthday this week. My friend already had the Stefania Mou earrings (purchased for her birthday) and I figured she needed something to match. The next day I made one for myself. It also matches well with the tri-color stacked hoops. The 36 inch length is perfect. And has a nice jingle. So people know when you're coming. It's like your own special theme song as you walk into a room. Don't even get me going on theme songs. Everyone should have a theme song. Every. One.


Peridot Boots
I would like some lime green boots. Some tall boots. Some tall, lime green boots. Just because. They'd be cool. In the meantime, I'll settle for a necklace with lime green in it. This peridot and copper necklace is the perfect balance of color. It is lightweight and again, very jingly. Press play and strut your stuff.

Theme song? Anyone?

All The Single Men

"Excuse me, do you have a girlfriend?"
Trivia night at Margarita's is always a good time. Endless chips and salsa, a sea of useless trivia and lots of...single men?! I have never looked at men in the way I did Wednesday night. With my business card in hand, I planned to lure them in, hand them my information and hope to make a sale for Valentine's day. I hoped, as I approached each group of men, and asked, "Excuse me, do you have a girlfriend?" that they would reply "yes." This is the first time in my life that I've been so bold. This is the first time I've HOPED for unavailable men. My next words would have been, "Well, you should buy her some jewelry for Valentine's day," as I handed my business card over.

"No"....What do you mean, no?!
I talked to 9 men. Not one of them had a girlfriend.

A Win-Win situation
If I ever want to find out if a man is single, I can use this line. If he's single, at least I know he's single. If he's unavailable, well, then perhaps I gain a sale. Either way, the outcome is a positive one for me and I leave still feeling confident...even if my friends are completely embarrassed by my actions.
