Trend Spotting: Bug Jewelry

Spring showers bring May flowers...and bugs and insects and pests! Flower inspired jewelry has dominated jewelry trends this spring but I've started to notice a fierce competitor - bugs!  There is something cute and edgy about wearing a bee on your finger (instead of running from them) making insect trinkets fun to wear.  I was inspired by a gold bee ring that I saw in a Glamour Mag article (here) and decided to dig up a few more buzz worthy friends for you.

Spring Wishlist

As I was thinking about today's post I sort of scratched my head and didn't know where to begin. My Spring Wishlist...it could be miles long if I wasn't careful.  I knew there were hundreds of swoon-worthy items that I have been wanting and filing away for another date but I felt overwhelmed at starting the search over and combing through the back of my brain for each item was and where I could locate it. Then I remembered Pinterest. Problem solved. All of my jewelry and wish-listed items in one place and easily linked to the source. Are you on Pinterest yet? Follow me here, if you'd like!

DIY Friday: Double Bead Necklace

Spring is in the air! Time for a pretty spring time DIY project.  I whipped together this pretty greeny-blue necklace and thought it was perfect for the season. Doesn't it look like something you'd see in Anthropologie?
You're just a few steps away from your own one of a kind necklace!

 (I totally forgot to use the silver spacers - so that's why they're optional! ;) I was going to put one between each bead.)
