Yo! Check out what was in my mailbox!

A bunny bracelet I purchased from Love Erin Designs on Etsy. :)

I really love this bracelet! It's tiny, delicate, and cute.

Thank you, Erin~!

I'm never one for yellow, but I made an exception for this splendid Cathie Filian pendant.

welcome to the sixties. oh, oh, oh, oh....

In last Friday's SJ Merc, there was an article about the current crop of Emmy nominations. Featured in this article was a photo of the cast of Mad Men. In this photo, the women have their arms crossed.

I don't even watch that show, but I loved how Christina Hendricks and Elisabeth Moss looked in that photo.

So, this first shot was inspired by that cast photo.

The combination of this snug sweater and this particular grey skirt made me look curvier than usual. An outrageously huge updo would have most definitely completed the look.

I still can't get over how this pendant is diy because it is so, je ne sais pas, clean? But then again, I shouldn't be surprised since it was made by Cathie Filian. I love her show, Creative Juice.

This brushed silver concave ring was definitely worth getting from hsn.com. I adore the simple design, and it fits right. The creator of this line was Kristian Alfonso, who plays "Hope" on Days Of Our Lives. Unfortunately, this line was discontinued.
