Wristed Candy

I found a great new shop to share with you!

Wristed Candy is a new shop on etsy that mostly sells beautiful bracelets and a few other trinkets.

Wristed Candy bracelets are made with Czech glass beads!  The way the faceted beads reflect the light is sooooo pretty!  Mine came with a pretty white organza bag...

I love the aurora borealis effect of the stones with the blue color - it's soooo pretty!  I love the combo of gold and blue!  I also LOVE how detailed the skull is!

The blue is paired with a gold colored skull - sooo beautiful together!  The beads are a good size, too!  Not too small and not too big!  Bracelet is stretchy, so sure to fit most wrists =)

Expressions Bracelets

I've got another great shop find to share with you!

Expressions Bracelets has got a HUGE and gorgeous selection of stack elastic stretch gemstone bracelets!  I got this 'so-up-my-alley' chic lava bead with skull charm bracelet!

Came in a beautiful velvet black pouch with care care instructions

Here's a close-up of the charm and the crystal dragon ball.  Isn't it pretty?  I love the contrast of the sparkly skull and ball with the organic nature of the lava beads.

I couldn't decide which way to wear the charm, so I included a picture of both ways!  Either way, looks awesome!

It also came with a care card - which I love!  Advises against all the things you would normally do, which is great - don't we all want our things to last longer?

the beads are large and chunky!  I love it!  Here's how it looks from farther away - isn't it just the perfect combination of bling and organic?

Astrophe

FATHER'S DAY GIFT ALERT!

I found the coolest store...well, I should say stores!  It's got a little something for everyone!

Do you always have trouble finding a quirky friend or relative the perfect gift?!  Have I got the places for you!!!

I stumbled upon Astrophe on etsy and found out that Kat, the crafter behind it all, has got three other stores, too!  More about that, later!  But keep reading if you're a Harry Potter Fan or know someone who is!

Look what I found from Astrophe!  

Wouldn't this be PERFECT for a little boy (or not so little) who LOVES DINOSAURS?!    It's a T-Rex skull keychain!  I thought this was so unique!  Perfect gift for the dinosaur-loving dad?

It comes in a wonderful little pouch

Here's a close-up.  It's made from plastic and is very realistic.  Great for kids (well, it IS made from a children's toy), since there are no sharp edges.  I think this would look great on a special little man's backpack!

Here's the top view where the key chain is attached.  Very secure!  Wouldn't this look adorable attached to your child's backpack?  Or on your favorite guy's keys?

At $6, this is a great find and would be perfect for a child's graduation gift (end of school is almost upon us!) or just a little something to let them know you're thinking of them!  Kat's also got other dinos, too!  And not just keychains!  Check out her dino selection!

For the Harry Potter fan 

What's better than Harry Potter inspired jewelry?!

I thought this Malfoy snake necklace was creative and cool!

Very Harry Potter, but very subtle about it, too!

Bad Chihuahua Design

I got the coolest bracelet from the neatest little etsy shop - Bad Chihuahua Design

I know a lot of people don't like to shop international because of questionable shipping, but I highly recommend this one!

The shop is in Serbia, but shipping is only $1 and it was really fast!  I got my bracelet within a week!

I got her Selene leather bracelet in white:

Came in a gorgeous pouch!

5 rounded leather bands all slightly interwoven so that the pieces do not really separate.  The bracelet is made with pure white leather with silver curve tubes and an extender to adjust!

I think the white looks so chic against my dark clothes!  But not a problem if you don't like white!  This same bracelet comes in a variety of fabulous different colors!

Samanthaa332

Summer is just around the corner ladies and gentlemen!  I bet some of you can't wait to crack open your summer wardrobe!

What better way to accessorize your bare arms than with a beautiful bracelet ...or two...or three!

I've got another great shop to share with you!  I got this beautiful gemstone bracelet from Samanthaa332.  Yes, yes it's a skull bracelet, but she's got other beautiful things in her shop!

Here's her pretty pink packaging

And a pretty pink bag

It fits perfectly and I love how it's stretchy and oh so comfortable.  At under $20, it's within reach of every budget!

Here's a close-up of the bracelet - I love how plain the skull is in contrast to the rhinestone beads on either side of it.  The black rhinestone eyes give it just a tiny bit of bling, too!

Would make a PERFECT bracelet for a man!  In fact, I wore this to work one day and one of my male co-workers asked me where I got it and told me he had to have one.  Then he asked me if the bracelet cost over $60!

Now YOU can look like you spent a lot of money on your jewelry, too!

Beautiful Bracelets from MondayByMe

I just got another awesome bracelet to add to my skull collection.  It's from an etsy shop called Monday By Me and she's got beautifully elegant bracelets sure to please everyone!  Mother's Day is coming up...do you know a mom who loves arm candy?

This is the crystal skull and turquoise bracelet.  You can also choose turquoise and a silver colored skull, and at $18, it sooo affordable and looks sooo expensive!  You could easily spend way more for a far inferior product at a department store!

Came in a tiny little organza bag.  I love these little bags so much!  You can put a bunch of things in them and they're so light weight!  

A close up of the skull - note it has crystals all over, including black crystals for the eyes!  Lots of bling and a nice contrast to the earthy, organic turquoise colored stones

So you can see the proportion and how it will look on your wrist!  LOVE it! Not too big and not too small.  I'm thinking it would look divine for the upcoming summer season..paired with a white dress and gold sandals...

Here's the back, just in case you're wondering.  Nice and smooth and very comfy.  What I love about this bracelet is that it doesn't pinch (because the stones and a great size) and it stretches, so can fit just about anyone's hand

Check out her shop!  Right now she's running a special promotion!

Buy any two bracelets and get a free one!  Who doesn't love FREE?

Ayami Hiroshige Jewelry Designs

It's getting warm out on this side of the country!


With summer just around the corner (that means tank tops and bathing suits!), what better way to add that something extra to your outfit than with a beautiful bracelet?


Those of you that know me know that I LOVE accessories with skulls on them.  

I just wanted to share with you this gorgeous bracelet I just got from Ayami Hiroshige Jewelry Designs.  It's right up my alley!  They are stretchy and Ayami can custom size it for you!

The bracelets came in a very pretty (and reusable) organza drawstring bag and a very nice notecard!


I love how bling'd out the skull is!  It's a gunmetal color with black crystals on it.  The size is just right, too.  Not too big, but big enough that it will catch the eye, and small enough to still be considered dainty.  Ayami pairs it very well with just the right sized semi-preciuos stones!


It's sooooo beautiful!  It's made with hematite and a sparkly skull charm!  I love it!  It's so very sweet and blingy and edgy all at the same time!  I adore that it's made with hematite and at $16, is extremely affordable.

For those of you that don't know, hematite is a strong gemstone that grounds and protects the wearer.  It endows you with courage, strength and vitality.  It can dissolve negative energy and at the same time, boosts your self esteem and survivability.  Supposedly enhances your willpower and imparts confidence while stimulating concentration and focus.

Her shop's got a lot of beautiful and affordable stuff!  It only LOOKS expensive!

 Check it out here or click any of the photo's below.

I love that her jewelry is so wearable and you can wear one or a bunch and it would look great!  Can't you see yourself wearing one (or all!) of these at the pool?  I think a couple of bracelets would look great with a printed wrap that can easily transition you from day to night. 

A few other things from Ayami's shop that I love:


I love how these looked all stacked together...that and a little black dress would be all you need!

So sweet and simple...can you see yourself wearing this one every day?!

This is so simple yet so bling!  I love it!
