Jewelery: Aussie Style!

Check out Oye Modern

This Sydney based online jewelery store is putting the fun in funky with is kooky selection. All the jewelry sold comes from emerging independent designers so you know you'll be getting truly unique pieces. Not exactly recession friendly, but definitely worth the splurge!

**Note: Change to USD at the top of the page for US dollar prices**

Will ship to USA for under $13 bucks! That's cheaper than shipping domestically with some stores!

Some of my faves:



Depth of field cuff, by re:vision (made with recycled camera components!)



Focus cuff, by re:vision



Pencil shaving necklace (blue) by Vic Mason



Married metal earrings by Melanie Ihnen



Whimsy ring by Kristina Brenke



Prism necklace by Eli

Happy Birthday Rachel Bilson!

J'Adore Charlize!

Charlize Theron is continuing her role as the face of J'Adore Dior. The scent will be celebrating it's 10th anniversary in September with a limited edition launch. A couple outtake pics from the shoot:

Fall Trends from InStyle

City

Animal prints, studded accessories and touches of leather add edge to an autumnal ensemble. Claire Danes (right) gave a rock and roll spin to a Burberry Prorsum dress with a tough black cuff and harness belt. Gweyneth Paltrow (center) urbanized her blazer and tank with leather shorts and a studded belt. And Rachel Bilson (left) went all out, adding sleek gloves and a studded cincher to her leopard-print Temperley London design.

Country

Plush knits, tweeds and fur-trimmed boots are made for fall, even for fashionistas far afield from the farm. City girl Diane Kruger (center) layered a Shetland cardigan over distressed jeans and rugged kicks, while Joy Bryant (left) hit the front row at Fashion Week in a Missoni cardigan and rolled-up boyfriend jeans. The consummate cosmopolitan, Claudia Schiffer (right), gave skinny denim a rural spin with a camel peacoat and lace-up moccasins.

Hidden Gem

I was perusing craigslist the other day, and I came across this post advertising gently used designer handbags. At first I thought it was some kind of scam (I've been burned by craigslist recently). But I checked out the website (where there is a feedback section) and I think it might actually be legit! Apparently the story is, this lady buys these purses, wears them a few times, then sells them and buys new ones. Again, could be a scam, but the bags look great! The highlight for me was a black studded Miu Miu number:

New Obsession

I want a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers #2140. Must get a pair before summer is over and the sun goes away from Seattle.

Random Celebs

Here's some summer celebs to get us going

Well, I'm back

It's been a while people... But I guess it will be like riding a bike, which is still kinda hard.

This time around I'm getting a little more street. I feel like most people just want to be inspired.

Don't tell me how to shop. I just want some ideas, I'll figure it out, adapt it, and some days improve! This time it's going to be about my style, the style of Seattle and the west coat, and what inspires us.

Maybe with some random thoughts thrown in.
