H&M Dress, Handmade Pink Druzy Agate Necklace, Vintage Belt, Foley + Corinna Bag, Korcula Ring, Seychelles Boots, Essie Status Symbol Pink Polish

Remember this ring that I professed my love for back in February?  After a bit of research, I decided that working with druzy agates (which are highly pigmented stones made up of tiny quartz crystals) would be the perfect idea for my Etsy shop. Not only can I decide the exact colors and shapes that I like most, but I can make and sell them for a lot less than something like this.  I just finished my first batch of necklaces and they’re unbelievably sparkly and unique. You can find the pink necklace that I’m wearing (among others) in my Etsy shop that officially opens on Monday!

Hey

Adore the look from head to toe. THe dress is perfect for spring , the belt and the boots. everything is wow! I would have never thought of pairing boots with a dress like this, but now looking at how fabulous they look on you. I think i would try to pull off something like this. N where do I start on the necklace, its just too too good. I am waiting for your etsy shop to open and just hoping that i can afford to buy it.

81 Tara { 04.17.09 at 12:46 pm }

So excited to see your shop next week. I recently opened an etsy shop, and it is great so far…

85 Danielle { 04.18.09 at 2:30 pm }

LOVE the dress and necklace. I’ve been obsessed with agate for some time and would LOVE to figure out how to make a necklace like this. Did you take classes on jewelry making?? It’s something I’ve always been keen to do, but am just not sure quite how :]
I did a post on agate a couple days ago and there are some gorgeous necklaces featured!

86 Fashion Prescription { 04.19.09 at 4:48 pm }

what a lovely, cute outfit!

Wow. I want those boots. Bad.

89 JJ { 04.23.09 at 5:11 am }

Your H&M seems to have so much better stuff than here in the UK – I’m sad about it! Perfect styling, as always.

90 Saba { 09.16.10 at 2:53 pm }
