Erica Weiner jewelry

I love these pieces by Erica Weiner. The first is a hand-cast replication of a cocktail pick used in the 1930s-50s at the Waldof Astoria Hotel ($85). The second one is called the Pretzel Knot necklace, which is matte brass and clasp-free ($30). There are more intriguing designs on the site, such as the Vertebrae, the Birdcall, Gold Letterpress, the Alcoholics necklace to name just a few.

This video that a fan made for Trader Joe's makes me happy. There's so much sweet affection and humor in it..and I totally feel that wistfulness for certain discontinued items. Gotta love TJs.

Tempting.

"Always a classic and perfectly polished in cotton with a hint of stretch. Our pencil skirt boasts a lean, leg-lengthening silhouette and pieced waistband with zip fly (an ideal waistline for tucked-in tops). We love it paired with a pretty blouse and sky-high heels."
