****Jeweled Obsession 001****

Beaded Phoenix Necklace $698

Its pretty late and I'm sitting here, bundled up in front of the AC thinking about winter.  More specifically the fuzzy knits I plan on wearing this winter and the fun jewels I can't wait to accessorize with.  Although way out of my price range, this lovely piece from Anthropologie is pretty much my wants ripped out of my head, packaged up and presented for purchase.  I can just see this beauty layered over a heather grey sweater...can't you.

****Maria Maria - Brand Musings****

 Move slightly over Pamela Love, an new jewelry designer has stolen a piece of my heart.  With its good girl gone naughty vibe, Maria Francesca Pepe's Fall 2012 collection has just the right amount of armor and beauty mixed together.

And as you can imagine the wishlist is a lengthy one....

****New In Shop****

Took some time this weekend to make a few new pieces.  All three are now up for grabs on NaughtyBaubles and I am working on a few more for later on this week. Despite the warm weather just kicking in, I'm already working on my Fall pieces.  Think heavier chains, richer colors and texture to go along with all our new sheath dresses, fur accented and glitter infused pieces.  

On another note for those of you who used Picnik to edit your photos for free. After the close of the site I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do.  Although learning Photoshop is definitely something that I need to do, when it comes to listing items on Etsy, I really just want something quick and easy.  Thankfully I ran into PicMonkey.  It operates pretty similar to Picnik but offers an easy to use collage option...just click and drag.  I will definitely being using this for outfit posts in the near future.
