Real-Life Rumpelstiltskins

Discovered alkemie at this great little garden decor shop called Pigment, in my beloved North Park.  Ashley Lowengrub and Dara Gerson, the husband-and-wife design duo, capture nature's whimsy with these little treasures.  Forged from 100% reclaimed metal, in true alchemist fashion, they have cleverly turned the common into something quite magical...straw into gold.

Perfect for the urban hippie in me.  The Heart Attack pendant needs to be on my neck like...now.

I'm amused...

I found this necklace by jewelry designer, Tom Binns, on Style.com's Most Wanted List today. I love the humor in it. I love pieces that make me smile...sometimes laugh, even. Fashion is fashion and shouldn't be taken too seriously. I'm all about designers who feel the same way!
