When Glamour and Kitsch Collide

Jan 13.10 / Lindsay

I was browsing last month’s Lucky Magazine this morning, and came across the most beautiful, delicate necklace on one of the “I’m Loving This” pages. It was almost a broken tulip shape, with the bud at the chain, and a very elegant, curvy stem. I discovered that it came from Demitasse Jewelry, who I’d never [...]

I’m Outta Here!

Dec 23.09 / Lindsay

Ahh, Christmas Eve Eve. A notorious day, commonly spent in a fit of anxiety, rushing from grocer to grocer looking for that damned mustard, or frantically organizing sleeping situations for house guests… Rushing from in-law-home to in-law-home wishing you could just relax before the craziness (at least 200% worse) tomorrow… The magic of the holidays. [...]

ECIG: A Cut Above Coins

Sep 30.09 / Lindsay

Long time no see for ECIG, am I right? Well, let me offer my most sincere apologies. I’ve definitely been neglecting this ace category, and that’s gotta stop! Our “Welcome Back” edition of ECIG goes to a Seattle artist named Wally. He runs his Etsy site, A Cut Above Coins, by actually cutting old, foreign [...]

ECIG: Carpe Draco

Apr 13.09 / Lindsay

This is a very special and very fancy edition of Eye Candy/Indie Genius because… there’s a video review! Oh yes! I’ve evolved! I actually discovered this jewelry designer via Birdie @ Bonne Vie, but couldn’t resist testing it out for myself. The store is called Carpe Draco on Etsy, and I warn you now, it’s [...]

ECIG: Fatally Feminine

Mar 16.09 / Lindsay

Every (-ish) Monday, I’ve been featuring independent clothing from designers everywhere. Laura Dawson, Erika Hendrix and M641 being some of my favorites. However, when sitting down at my computer this morning (as it precariously teeters on two ancient collapsable TV tray tables we found behind the refrigerator when we moved in), I realized that it’s [...]

Indie Genius: Indipendance

Jan 12.09 / Lindsay

Coffee fits don’t usually send me to interesting, life-enhancing places. Typically, they send me anywhere that a) smells like coffee, b) has actual coffee for sale and c) isn’t a Starbucks. Inside of these places – a number of things: people on laptops, jittery coffee-swindlers, too cool for school baristas… But rarely an amazing, creative [...]

Engagements: Out of curiousity…

Sep 28.08 / Lindsay

This may just be a silly question that my silly head came up with at 1am after a long day, but… Are there any ladies out there that would rather receive a pair of really expensive, exquisite shoes as a replacement for a diamond engagement ring? I was thinking about it, and I’m… actually torn! [...]

Monochromatic Cocktail Rings

Sep 15.08 / Lindsay

It’s shaping up to be a pretty intense fall/winter, fashion-wise. The runways displayed deep, dark hues of black and brown mixes with whites, creams, and warmer neutrals. So that means dark jewelry, simple with an edge, will be the perfect accessory to accompany the chilly season’s trends. FUN & FLIRTY Black & Clear Flower Burst [...]

Focusing On: Stone Soup Jewelry

Sep 10.08 / Lindsay

I just discovered the most amazing website, Smashing Darling, as a product of a Twitter friendship and – I have to say – this may be the best site I’ve been introduced to in a long time. It’s claims to be “Leading the Indie Fashion Revolution”, and I totally agree – it’s like Etsy on [...]
