Scales, Fangs, and Venom... Yes Please!

They say you should face your fears, whether it's heights, commitment, or broccoli. Since I can't really emulate big bodies of water with accessories (besides the obvious blue tones), let's go with my second biggest fear... snakes. I think it started in that scene from Indiana Jones and escalated. Below are a few snake-inspired pieces of jewelry, but a variety of providers (I'm talking Iosselliani to Target). Now all I have to do is conquer the water thing, but I'll save that for another day when I can think of a good excuse not to.


I love Ankasa's latest jewelry, especially this slithering and scale-full necklace that will easily become the center of attention. Look through the other jewelry pieces on the website when you get a chance too; don't worry, this is the only one that bites.

Iosselliani Silver Necklace


Play like Medusa and have snakes coming from everywhere! This snake ring wraps around your fingers... let's just hope it doesn't squeeze too tight.

Sterling Silver Snake Ring


Last in the sequence is a set of earrings I found on Etsy. They aren't quite as obviously snake-ish as the last items, but I can definitely see it.

Artisan Earring Posts


Snakes definitely aren't new to fashion, but they still give me chills if I see a too-realistic armband and the like.

Gloomy Me...

Not in the mood for butterflies and cherries on top today. I'm looking at dark and edgy pieces, with attitude. I'm usually a cheery and colorful person, but for today, we're going dark and dramatic on this post. I love the following pieces. They are for the fashion forward and courageous; today I feel like I could almost pull them off. Check them out (especially the ring) and let me know if you are also feeling like dark colors, ice-cold stones, and a few spikes here and there this evening.

I'm feeling like adding a good pop of color to my life. Bright colors really can brighten a day. I love this maxi dress, mostly because of the fun print. Do you use color to brighten your day and your mood?

Etsy Find: The Ardent Sparrow

Lately, I have been really interested in all of the Victorian inspired jewelry I have seen in stores, online, and especially in blogs. I love the layers of flowers and colors that go into these beautiful pieces. I was searching through Etsy for some of this jewelry and I came across The Ardent Sparrow. I immediately fell in love with their flower rings (and they all come at a very good price!). What do you think? Here are a few I really like...
