Queen Bee — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 04:05:40 +0000

It’s Saturday! Who’s going out tonight? Hopefully, you’re in a nice sunny area where you can get all glamed up for the night. Nothing is more fun than going out in a cute dress with your girls that a special someone.

Bracelets, Baby

A jewelry post was requested by @eowyn2122, so darling, this post is for you!

I don’t know about you, but I love wearing lots of bracelets. All of mine are from different stores, different, countries, and different times of my life. It’s like a little scrapbook on my wrist. I wish I could take a picture of them, but I left most of my jewelry back at home this summer. So here are some other bracelets instead!

Love these vintage style ones. The variety of sizes and textures makes it an interesting blend.

Knots are one of my favorite jewelry trends. You hay have seen pics of my knotted bracelet from time to time. Here is a dressy one that has a bollywood feel to it in my opinion.

For our rocker girl side, this set is awesome. No one will mess with you when they see those spikes! lol.

And this one is my favorite. I don’t know why, maybe because I’ve never seen anything like it.

Are you a bracelet gal too?

Tous (pronounced tow-s)

Queen Bee — Fri, 07 May 2010 18:15:25 +0000

I can’t believe I’ve never posted about Tous before. I love Tous and by love I mean the crazy fanatical kind. Never heard of it? I bet you will soon.

Tous is a 75 year old jewelry and handbag line from Spain and they are making their way to the US. When I discovered the store in Spain a few years back, I did some research and found out they had one store in the US in NYC. Well now there are 40 stores in a variety of states, including the mall near me!

On my first visit to Tous in Spain, I went a little crazy and bought these adorable bracelets:

And this wallet in their Kaos bear pattern. This wallet, by the way, has held up for 2.5 years so far and still looks great. That is definitely the longest a wallet has ever lasted for me. I guess I’m pretty rough with them.

So on my trip to Tous this past weekend, I picked up this fabulous watch. It is actually a kids watch, which means it cost 50% less than an adult watch!

And of course it has the Tous bear on it. I love it!

What do you think of Tous?

A Charming Charm Bracelet

Art Decadence — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:55:40 +0000

Okay so everyone knows I am guilty of two things: browsing any and every shopping website and a huge love for David Bowie. (Alright, I admit, I do have more guilty pleasures than that – but they’re currently irrelevant.) This love also includes the film Labyrinth – I’m guessing a lot of you have probably seen it! It’s very magical and I don’t see how any can not fall in love with it.

When I was browsing Etsy the other day (something I’m sure will make Queen Bee proud of me) I typed in ‘Labyrinth’ to see what would come up. I was absolutely astounded. There’s so many amazing things, but I’m not going to tell you about all of them! My favourite was this charm bracelet:

The only problem was, it was $45.95 plus $5.00 postage seeing as I live all the way across the pond. I did debate over quite a few days but I came into a bit of money in the form of my EMA bonus (for going to school – google it if you’re really that curious) and found that I just couldn’t resist.

Considering the distance it had to travel, it arrived incredibly quickly and it looks so gorgeous in person – even more so than the pictures. A few people have already told me how amazing they think it looks and I’ve only worn it once!

The image charms are handmade and every charm on it was put there due to some sort of meaning – the owl, the dancing figures. And the fun doesn’t stop there – the seller, ImaginationEmporium has a load of other, similar products.

For example, this a-may-zing Wizard of Oz bracelet:

Or, a wonderfully magical “It’s A Small World” glass tile pendant:

I think everything she makes is absolutely incredible; how about you guys? Do you think I was right in spending so much money on my bracelet? (I do!)

Bad Habits

Queen Bee — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:08:49 +0000

We all have them. They are what make you you. But perhaps you could do without one or two of them. As for me, I’m a nail biter. I’ve been biting my nails since I had teeth. I managed to stop for the last couple years, but recently I’ve had a major relapse.

Gross, right? Nothing fashionable about that. Plus it is bad for your teeth and bad for your health- sticking your fingers in your mouth makes you more likely to get sick.

So, it is time to stop. Easier said than done.

If you’ve had your bad habit as long as me, you do it without even thinking about it. So my solution was to use a physical and visible tool to help me stop, and I came up with this:

I made it out of some beads I found in my room. With this bracelet as a constant reminder on my wrist, I will see it as I start to nibble and be reminded to stop.

And this could work for anything. Say you want to eat healthier. As you reach for that soda, you’ll see the bracelet and be reminded to drink water instead.

What do you think? Want to try this out with me?
