In the Shop - Hex Collection

Hematite is such a mysterious gemstone. It is thought to be a healing and grounding gemstone, that protects or shields the wearer from negative energy. It has a brilliant metallic shine that looks like liquid steel and a weighty feel that is super cool. While other gemstones contain some iron atoms, hematite is almost entirely made up of iron.

This hematite 'hex collection' is ultra cool and sexy. The earrings dangle down to your shoulders in a very alluring way and the necklace offers an ultra modern sexy edge to any outfit.

hexahedron is another word for cube.

New Arrival - Comet Necklace

Here is the second necklace from the 'Rock Hard' collection. I just added it to my shop.

A mix of crystal quartz and rose quartz gemstones plummet down a mix of white gold plated and sterling silver plated chain to create this modern drop necklace. I love the mixing of gemstones and metals in this necklace, it's so cool and clean.

We are having a sweltering day in the tower today. It's supposed to get up to 42 degrees in the city. As some of you may have guessed my tower is not equipped with AIR CON!!!, but we are surviving so far :)

Hope everyone is having a cool wednesday.

Mainstream Punk

Once the 3 musketeers were banished to sleepy-land friday night, the grumpy prince and I settled into the night; reading and cruising tv channels. We stumbled on a movie called SLC Punk (1999).

SLC Punk lead into a discussion on the influence of music on teen fashion/identity and that there seems to be no more politics in music - everything looks to be mainstream these days. Our discussion was mainly that since the death of grunge, kids all appear to look and dress the same.

We walked by my old high school the other day and all the kids looked like clones. Only one kid stood out as his look was sort of modern mod. There seems to be no music genre that's influencing the kids and how they dress anymore (imagine your daughter roaming the streets dressed like Lady Gaga!). The grumpy prince thinks this might be a sign of kids knowing who they are and what they stand for and not needing to wear it on their sleeves anymore.

As a pre-teen (sorry tween), I loved punk rockers, loved the fashion and some of the music (could never get into GBH) while the grumpy prince loved\loves 70's rock.

So this might be your only chance chics and dudes if you missed out on the punk movement of the late 70's early 80's; what's old is new again, so now you can be 'mainstream punk'....now where did I put my studded belt?
