Dogeared Jewelry

I've had these Dogeared Jewelry necklaces on my "online wishlist" for the longest time and recently bit the bullet, using some of my graduation money to finally add them to my necklace wall. I've been really into dainty gold necklaces for the past few months -- as evidenced by my latest necklace purchases from minoux -- so I was incredibly pleased when I tried them on and found each to be perfectly simple and beautiful. Now, if only my birthday would come a little sooner so I could get this gold skull necklace... and this circle necklace in rose gold or silver or gold... and this gold karma necklace! Damnit. As usual, I want more than my bank balance will ever allow. False consciousness, baby! Sup Marx! Use your Ebates account and search for coupon codes on google if you ever buy from this store -- I did both and got a nice discount!

Minoux Tiny Bar Necklace

I was lucky enough to be given a gift certificate to Minoux by my Ryan's mom in honor of my graduation (apparently they had combed through this here blog for a place to get me a gift certificate to -- the "online wishlist" is working! lol). In true Chelsea fashion, I spent it on the online shop within minutes of returning home -- it's called a shopping addiction, thank you very much.

Since she had been so generous, I had enough to get TWO of the necklace that caught my eye, the tiny bar necklace. It actually made it a lot easier on me to not have to decide between gold or silver; ya know, the eternal jewelry debate. I like silver on my skintone because of my cool undertones -- sometimes gold just looks awful with my skin when it gets pink/reddish -- but at the same time, I love dainty gold necklaces.... first world problems here, people. Woe is me.

I ended up buying the 19 inch chain; which sits at just the right spot (there is also a 17 inch version available). I still have $2 left on my gift card, which I plan to one day spend on the tubits necklace in gold (there is just that whole messy business of finding a job first!). Thank you, Mrs. P!

WANT: Fiona Paxton on MYHABIT

Fiona Paxton jewelry is on sale (50% off, but still expensive) right now on MYHABIT. The sale ends Tuesday, act fast if you like anything! If I had the funds, there are a couple pieces that intrigue me and would definitely become additions to my personal collection. The three necklaces would look amazing with a strapless dress and could also act as a collar to a shirt or dress with the right neckline. The cuffs are just great for everyday wear (I think the gold is my favorite).

Babette Quartz Crystal Point Necklace

I love this crystal point necklace by Babette. So much so, in fact, I bought one for myself! I was nervous that I would get a weirdly cut crystal, since I can be so picky and you don't get the one that is pictured, but the one I was sent looks great. Additionally, the chain length is the perfect. Thanks to Veronica for posting this necklace on her wonderful blog, who found it through another wonderful gal, Jenny. Sharing is caring, y'all!

WANT: Need Supply Co.

Need Supply Co. is one of my go-to online shopping spots. I just checked out their new arrivals and found lots of great items I would love to have as a part of my wardrobe. Wishful thinking never hurt anyone, right??

Shop Spotlight: Maslo Jewelry

I really like the Mixed Metals collection by Maslo Jewelry. I've been on a quest for bracelets and arm accessories, since I now feel I own a sufficient exorbitant amount of necklaces and rings. On to the next accessory category, arm ho! Check out some of my bracelet favs (with maybe a necklace or two thrown in there. Okay, who am I kidding, it's mostly necklaces). All items can be found here.

Shop Spotlight: Stone & Honey

As I've mentioned before, I love crystal jewelry. These crystal point necklaces by Stone & Honey are  simple and small, while still being interesting and unique. They an extensive online shop with multiple collections of handmade jewelry (these are from the Crystal Palace collection, which also has rings and agate necklaces).

Shop Spotlight: Laura Lombardi Jewelry

Laura Lombari makes AMAZING jewelry. I am seriously in love with each and every piece I've seen in her online shop. If I could, I would buy every single last one of these pieces.... I want to be a millionaire!!!

 

DIY: Necklace Wall

Since we moved, I can never find the necklaces Im looking for -- they are all over the place. Last night I got a rush of inspiration and took my hammer and nails to the wall. What do you think?

Tibetan Beaded Necklace

While Dexter, Ryan, and I took a little stroll around town yesterday, I decided to finally go into a Tibetan jewelry store that has been catching my eye for a few weeks now. I originally went it looking at a very interesting metal piece, but it was FAR too expensive for our new budget. I fell in love with this beauty (thankfully it was 60% off) and had to make it mine!

Online Wishlist: Lady Grey Jewelry

I love the necklaces, bracelets, and rings I've seen by Lady Grey Jewelry. I am especially fond of the mix of geometric shapes with the jagged stones. It can be purchased on Totokaelo, but it's a little pricey for me! :(
