Clothes shopping!
Not for me silly. I'm 7 months prego and big as a house! For my 4 1/2 year old son. Whooo hoo!
For those of you who don't know, let me tell you that everything looks good on 4 1/2 year olds. Even feather boas and skinny leg jeans. But I digress...
Buying clothes for boys stinks. They will wear practically anything at this age ("except skirts." mine says, "those are for girls." hmmmm. who is planting these ideas in his little head??). The reason it stinks is because boys clothing stinks.
Unless you are way into sports and enjoy dressing your son like an inner city basketball team player. Your other choices are the uber-snobby-expensive lines of boys clothing that will make my kid look like he belongs to a prep school polo team. *shudder*
So you have your choice between making your kid look like a sports nut or making him look like a WASP.
There is really only one store that is more helpful in dressing your kid like a cool kid without the team logos or 100% cashmere. It's H&M. My metrosexual husband and I agree that most of the time they toe the line between cute (because lets face it 4 year olds are still cute) and cool.
So here are my picks for my nerdy-chic kid...
And if he was a baby rockstar...
Time to get out the door and get shopping!

Fall 2009 Stylewatch... studs
I've been watching this trend grow over the past 2 years. Remember the bedazzler? Well now the faceted 'studded' look is finally hitting the runway.
It's a rocker punk type style from the 80's reinterpreted for the 00's. I scoured to find some of the greatest hits online and am bringing them to you.
P.S. As an 80's baby, this is one of my faves.
Studded Pelmet mini-skirt from TopShop. Super sexy and very wearable. Now where did I put those skinny legs?
This delicious bag is from Marc Jacobs. Uber expensive por moi but there are tons of similar options in all price points. Wear it and get funny looks from your mother-in-law. Oh wait, that's just me.
Now you're talkin' affordable AND adorable. Available at Forever 21 in stores only. When you want to get in touch with your inner punk princess. Or you can make your own using the fabulous bedazzler mentioned above.
Yeah, these are mine. Don't say I told you so... but you can buy them here.

I'm excited.
I realized today that I use way too many exclamation points when corresponding via e-mail with people. One of my lovely customers told me that I crack her up because I'm so energetic. I am? I'm pregnant (read: tired), entertain a 4-year-old all day long and work in between whenever I can. I'm exhausted. But I use a lot of exclamation points!! So it seems like I'm SO EXCITED!! ALL THE TIME!!! YEAH!!!
Right now I'm sitting, slumped, on the couch with my feet up on the coffee table (who really uses a coffee table for coffee anyway?) and the computer in my lap. I'm so excited I can barely keep my eyes open!!! Whoo Hoo!
Hee. hee. hee. That picture above is from 2 years ago and I was playing miniature golf. And I truly was excited.

A few of my favorite things...
I was browsing through my favorites on Etsy today, the talent on that site blows me away. As a Geminii I am entitled to change my favorites at will, but for today at this moment here are some of them...
If I had less boobs and a ballet-dancer's body (mind you I'm 5 months prego), then this is the dress I would wear. Seriously hot stuff from, who else but BlackVintageDress.
And wouldn't this bangle, or better yet a stack of them, look great on my model-dancer-actress-skinny wrist? Yeah, I think so, too. Rock 'em at GurlyGirl's shop.
Hmmm. I'd forgo the skinny bod for a truckful of these! It's like crack-wrapped-in-chocolate. Yummy deliciousness from SugarMohawk.
This is too flippin' cute. It's so cute I want to eat it, but in a good I-don't-have-pica kind of way, you know? You don't know. Look it up. And check out the other adorable sweeties at MoonsCreations.
Over and out.

Summertime finally
After a month and a half of rainy days we finally had some sunshine. I've been keeping busy (but how many block towers/cookies/books/roller coasters can a person build/bake/read/make with her 4 year old).
AND I also mean busy at the bench. I made a new piece that has the same curvy line as my Goddess set, but I set a gorgeous purple amethyst nestled into the curve. The end result is contemporary and sparkly. You can find out more about it in my Etsy shop.
And there's more to come!

Curvalicious
Another new addition to my bubble collection. These Goddess Earrings have been requested by my customers for 2 years and I finally was able to make them. They match my Goddess necklace . Thanks for such a great idea, my customers totally rock!
And they're in stock just in time for my weekend Bubble sale in my Etsy shop. June 26-28th you'll get 10% off any piece in my bubble section .
Fun and a little feisty, just like yours truly.
