As an accessories addict, it's hard for me to miss the latest trends in jewelry.
For the past year or so, midi rings (aka "over the knuckle rings") have been a huge trend in the fashion world. Believe it or not, I was a fan of this particular look before it was a trend.
I bought my first midi ring while I was in college, from a woman who was selling sterling silver jewelry on campus under a tent near the student center. I fell in love with the many designs she had, and eventually settled on a ring with a zig-zag pattern, and one with a squarish up and down "U" pattern. She came over to me with a tiny Ankh ring and showed me how awesome it looked perched just above the middle knuckle of my left ring finger. I was instantly enamored. Finally a ring that I could wear on even my knobbiest of fingers!
Since then, I've purchased a few other little rings, most of them from etsy. I've gotten a few sterling rings for around $10 each. (Check out Kriya's adorable pieces; she creates each ring, so you can get whatever size you want.)
With so many options to choose from, I can see why this look has been so big. I can't wait to see what jewelry trends become big this Spring.

Spring Cleaning
It's been almost a year! As usual, I got so caught up in everything else, I neglected my writing. Even my journal is looking kind of dusty.
Anywho... I'm sick of Winter. Sooooo through. I'm tired of wearing a pair of socks on top of my sweater tights, tired of squinting in the wind, tired of dreading every little errand that I have to run out in the cold.
Needless to say, my shopping habits haven't changed much; they've just shifted. Instead of making my monthly runs to Georgetown or the huge Forever 21 on F street or Pentagon City, I've been looking high and low for the things I want online.
Etsy has been getting a portion of almost every paycheck for the past few months. Ever since I got my second earlobe piercing, I have been scouring sites, looking for cool mismatched earring studs. I'm always excited for a new excuse to buy jewelry!
