I’m a little (OK, a lot) in love with these glasses, in part because they are the “Anna” style. J Crew and Selima realized, after years of puffing on my part, that almost everyone, skin toned from dark to light, looks better in glasses that are *not* black. Colors more on the brown/green spectrum are more universally flattering. (I’ve worn glasses for 15 years, and have tested this theory with 15 different hair colors.)

So they decided to name these after me. Thank god someone finally listened.

In order to wear this necklace, you must be confident, and a little bit crazy. You know, to withstand all the inevitable “look! she’s wearing an octopus!” comments.

So this summer, if you see a girl with eight arms dangling around her neck, come say hello. I’m one of the few people you’ll ever meet who can say “octopussy” with a straight face.

A few years ago, I stumbled upon Alice’s site The Carrotbox while trying to replace a beloved jade flea market ring. I scored my ring, then another in Murano glass, and another in regular glass, and another in plastic…

She’s got a lot of goodies, and I’m particularly tempted because I only wear non-metal jewels on my right hand. (Curious, I know. But I like the juxtaposition of delicate wedding band on left hand, and chunky fun ring on the right. Not that wedding rings aren’t fun. But I digress.)

Like this wooden gem: so sculptural and low profile. She’s got limited quantities, so you better beat me there.

A perfect gift for Mother’s Day, so I can nestle the three of us next to my heart.

Thin gold bands worth wearing (we’re talking less than 2mm) are hard to find. They’re either too round, too fancy, or too ridiculously priced…and that’s *if* you can locate them at all. Enter Anne Kiel’s stacking rings: perfect for the days when you want to keep love simple. (Or not. They’re priced to stack 8 deep for more complicated romantic situations.)
