Sunday Afternoon with Me....
I receive many emails asking about me... so... I took a page from a favorite blogger of mine and am going to give you my low down... (via HER questions!!)
Personal
I have Five tattoos, four of them make up a "sleeve" on my right arm. My style icons are Kate Hudson (for laid back rocker), P!NK (for edgy, fun, adverturous) and Donna Karan (for sensible bohemian). In my shower: Neutrogena Rain Bath shower gel, Murad AHA BHA exfoliating cleanser, Rusk shampoo and conditioner, St. Ives apricot scrub. Favorite song: Dessert Rose (Sting). I don’t know how to cook very well and am far from domestic but I am reading, The Art and Science of Keeping House and learning fast. I don't visit Thrift Shops nearly enough. The most expensive thing I’ve ever splurged on was jewelry from Jennifer Fisher NYC. I am the owner of a sweet children's clothing line, Buddha Belly NYC. My favorite designers are Opening Ceremony, Prada, Free People.
-Where did you go to college and what did you study?
I went to Penn State and studied journalism. Theeeeeen I went to Studio Jewelers in NYC to learn wax modeling, casting, molds, diamond setting, renderings, etc. So, although I do not put too use the jewelry making skills I have learned, I do know how to spot good jewelry and construction when I see it.

-What kind of music do you listen to?

-Do you have Twitter?
Yes! Follow me HERE.

-Why did you start a blog?

Inexpensive: Forever 21, Lulus.com, Etsy, Satya, Good Will
-What are five pieces of jewelry every woman should own?
1. Statement Necklace (Big, Colorful, Flashy)
2. A single diamond band (even the tiniest, thinnest, sparkly little band will do. Make it large enough to wear on at least your pointer and middle fingers. This always adds a bit of rich sparkle to your hand.)
3. Diamond Studs (work well with any other big piece of jewelry or headband/hair piece)
4. An oversized cocktail ring (try Rings Eclectic, Alexis Bittar, Sheila Fajl, October Anniversary)
5. A Great Watch (I prefer a Rolex or Tag)

-How can I find MY signature piece?
Why just one? Your signature pieces are the ones that move you as soon as you see them. They somehow fit with every outfit you out own (or you think so anyway).
Shopping

Spiked Turban Headband by Jennifer Behr

Retails for $475
You can shop at www.jenniferbehr.com
I heart me some Jennifer Behr. However, I also have DIY for this. I bought a satin Prada (yes, real Prada) turban headband on eBay for $200. Aaaaaand then I bought a pack of studs and pyramids from eBay for $5 dollars and made a very similar headband to the one pictured. (I will post my photos later, once the piece is worn or styled in a manner comparable to the one shown here.) For those of you who do not have time or patience to create this look yourself, buy from Jennifer, her pieces are heart stopping.
