B@@B Jewelry - Yes, You Read that Correctly!
Monday, May 4th, 2009
I a jewelry fanatic. I always tell people that if I hadn't gone to Fashion school, I would have taken a silversmithing course or attended FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) for Jewelry Design. I still plan to have a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) career around jewelry at some point of my life. Yup, I am THAT passionate about it.
For my 40th birthday, I bought myself a jewelry armoire (that's it to the right) so that I could more readily view and enjoy and WEAR my collection that had until that point, lived in various boxes and as a result didn't get worn and loved as much as it should have.
I absolutely LOVE this armoire! You can find this one and others like it at Armoire Gallery. I shouldn't have waited for my 40th to buy it that's for sure!
So the other morning @TheBoobLady followed me on Twitter and I promptly visited her site and blog (I visit the sites of every new follower by the way). It was there that I saw the next addition to my jewelry collection... drool!
You've heard it is Barbie's 50th this year right? Well, an amazing New York jewelry designer by the name of Margaux Lange is making jewelry out of Barbie parts! Sounds weird? Perhaps... but take a look and make your own decision - I think you will be pleasantly surprised! I am not-so-secretly coveting the Have a Heart Bust Pendant. L-O-V-E the tie-in with breastfeeding. Now I just have to decide which color to get...
What piece of Margaux's jewelry do you like? Drop a comment below and let me know!

I really like the 'Busted Heart Pendant' with all the silver-nippled boobies. Nipples are a significant part of breast feeding. :)

Lourie - I really like how that one forms a flower or star in the center. And the nipples are great - Barbie never had nipples, so now she gets them for her 50th birthday!
