What I'm Wearing Wednesday


I'm doing that "Where's Wally" but in Jewelry.

These earrings are cute sterling silver and agate drops modern not vintage. I didn't realize it blends right into my hair.

What I'm Wearing Wednesday



This is my newest confetti collection piece. Pink. I've enjoyed pink every now and then growing up to wear but in truth I think the last time may have been in the 80's and it was a day glo sweatshirt and this lipstick called Moonglow. Which would be atrocious to wear now as it was baby pink with a blue shimmer to it.

I find it better just to wear this necklace as a compliment to the sweater.

What I'm Wearing Wednesday

I can across this adorable little pin on Ebay. Here how I came by it. I've started reading again which I love to do and choose Dark Angels taking place in the Restoration court of England's King Charles II by Karleen Koen. A prequel to another book I've read by her.

So I start looking for vintage jewelry on Ebay. Not having the funds for anything that old, I started moving forward in time to Victorian and came across this pin. Now it seems to be plastic it could be bakalite and it's not that old, I simply don't know, the pin however was too cute to pass by and so today wanting to wear it it ended up in my hair.

Remember I've said before why not wear a pin or brooch in your hair. And so that's what I did. Oh and it's rediculiously hard to take a picture with your iPhone, holding it behind your back not knowing if you succeded in getting anything.

What I'm Wearing Wednesday

All I have on is my wedding band for jewelry it was a running late and lazy day. So today's post instead will be about one of my favorite artists and one of my favorite lines of jewelry.

I've collected Patrick Nagel images since I got into Duran Duran in the 80's. For the images that Nagel did he did stay up on the current fashion and accessories during the 80's. He also passed away in that era and so I always ponder what his art would be like today.

I also know that his estate is going to be creating Patrick Nagel jewelry, luxury and fashion accessories brand to be released in early 2011. I hope it is not like the following with image. This is a scrabble tile made into a necklace currently on Ebay. This would be something you'd see in Forever 21 for the young crowd I'm guessing.



It's not something I would wear to work if it images like above. I can only hope that it more unique jewelry that the Nagel woman would wear. In the 80's she wore the following which was what everyone was wearing.



I do believe that if Nagel was alive today he would definitely like Kenneth Cole and his line of jewelry. Below is some current Kenneth Cole. Enjoy.
