Do you have any favoured pieces of jewelry that you keep returning to again and again?
Weekend Reading:
- This story on homes for unwed mothers in Ireland in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is fascinating and sad.
- Turns out Nazis are a) grammar Nazis and b) have a poor awareness of the English language.
- A video of people using a 3-D printer to recreate Henry VIII’s crown. Obviously I love this – the Tudors are my historical specialty!
- The top ten royal emeralds.
- When I read this Buzzfeed list of yearbook quotes I lost it laughing aloud on public transit. It was the cure for a long, aggravating day at work.
- Remember Jem? I was all about Jem when I was a kid. You guys, she was truly outrageous!
- Welcome to the future of fashion – or so they thought in the 1930s.
- Harvard has confirmed a book in its rare books collection is, in fact, contained within a human skin binding. That’s called anthropodermic bibliopegy (now you know).
- Sometimes fashion kills folks. Even in the Victorian age.

Just when i thought keeping an urn of ashes was creepy, some has to to and throw it out there that they would like the skin of their deceased loved one to bind a book.
Loved the fashion of the future... not really too far off.
I wish I had put a funny quote in my year book,
Wait... I don't think we even did quotes. Who can remember, it was 10 years ago and I haven't looked at it since.
Chic on the Cheap
Yes, me too!! I freakin loved Jem as a kid. I had all the Jem dolls and The Misfits. Haha, too funny! And that necklace is rad, happiest weekend love!! xoxo
I love this necklace. I've been coveting one for myself for a while now (probably because of you) but haven't found one that really calls out to me yet!
Vaguely creepy, perhaps, but also kind of awesome. And as for Jem... When I was five, my greatest ambition was to be her when I grew up!
xox,
Cee
Such a rad necklace.
I have a bird skull necklace too! I like wearing mine here and there and freaking people out :) but I wear my watch religiously every day. I've had to change out the band three times already because I wear it so much!
Any time i say the phrase, "Showtime, Synergy" and the person knows what I'm talking about, they are good ppl. I'm an 80s nostalgic!
