Vintage Monday: vintage necklaces

My favorite vintage necklaces I've collected in the past few years

Working hard or hardly working

As per my new year's resolution, some items I've been working on lately...

Vintage Monday: Fox bangle

I was admiring the cover of the April Lucky magazine of Zooey Dechanel (so cute!) when her bracelet caught my eye:

This adorable fox bangle from Moss Mills reminded me of a similar vintage one I found at a little store in Tallahassee last summer.  Here he is!

Almost identical right?  I guess what goes around comes around, especially in fashion!  And speaking of fashion, I've been thinking of posting a bit more about this other interest of mine, especially vintage clothing that I adore.  I just have to work the nerve up to post pictures of myself online, as well as figure out how to get B to take relatively flattering pictures of me.  I swear it's his mission in life to take the most awkward shots he can get of me.  Probably because then he won't have to take pictures at all...hmmm...I'm catching on to his little game...

Obsession: Leighelena bracelets

Remember this lizard cuff I got from Chicago Renegade last year?  Well thanks to the Le Garage sale, I've added more of these great bracelets to my collection.  There was quite a bit of shrieking and hoarding when I discovered the Leighelena table at the sale and that these puppies were more than 75% off .  Thankfully only my friends were around to attest to my shameful behavior and they'll never tell...umm right guys?  I finally  narrowed it down to another single strap bracelet, this time in a cool stingray leather, a doublewrap python bracelet, and a large lizard skin cuff.  These make a great addition to any girl's jewelry collection and I plan on wearing them all summer (not all together of course, well maybe...)

Vintage Monday: porcupines and elephants and owls oh my!

My vintage jewelry obsession has now expanded to quirky animal jewelry.  Here are a few recent acquisitions:
