Day 8 in the life of: A real live Fashion Designer-cum-blogger.





I love vintage jewelry. I recently got this amazing necklace I'm wearing today off e-bay. I had to have it, so I paid the buy now price of $24.99. Well worth it! The online pictures did not do it justice, I mean it looked cool and all, but when I laid my eyes on the actual thing...WOW! Once I opened up the package, I realized it was so much prettier in person and I could not wait to wear it. The artist who designed this hand-made piece might have been inspired by some sort of hammered Moroccan chandelier. Another love of mine is this African-esque bracelet I have on. I believe it is made from horn and bone...I haggled with the vendor at the Rose Bowl and ended up only paying $8 for it. I've had it for about 5 years now, and I always find an opportunity to mix it into my wardrobe. Great investment piece. I love getting a good price for vintage jewelry because it always turns out to be a worthy investment. The quality is superb and you have the piece of mind that it will last for years to come. Even better, its a near guarantee that no one else in the office will have the same thing!
