A week’s worth of giving: Sister Style

Back for more, I see! Today is round three of my ultimate, last minute, way-too-specific gift guide! Thanks for coming! Do you have a little sister in your life? If so, she probably wishes she was as cool as you are. And, as a younger sister, she will never stop feeling this way. Like, ever. Crazy, right? The holidays are a time to throw her a bone, already. Give her something cool to make up for being so much cooler! Something fun that won’t break the bank because, hey, she’s probably gonna lose it at a house party anyway. Moving on…

 Little sister who wishes she was as cool as you


Left to right: Cluster pendant, Nervous System, $67 @ Manifesto; Gold spine earrings, Besy + Iya (local!) $58 @ Manifesto; Aubrey clutch (also in yellow,) Shiraleah, $45 @ Manifesto.

Also good gifts for: Older sisters who wish they were as cool as you, lady babysitters.

Fun idea

: include a subscription to an awesome fashion magazine in the gift- ya know, the one she’s always stealing your copies of?

Tomorrow, we’re still keeping it in the family- hope to see you then!

Jingle Jangle: Designer Spotlight Part 2

Hello again, jewelry fans! At least I hope you’re jewelry fans, because as I told you yesterday, we just got a whole ton of it. Every day this week I’m going to feature the latest and greatest from our new arrivals, one designer at a time!
Oh, and if we’re getting super-technical, I scrapped that whole alphabetical idea. I do what I want! ;)

Nervous System: Nature Lovers in a Digital World

At first glance, the jewelry made by oh-so-hip jewelers Nervous System might look familiar. It might look like something you have seen under a microscope. This is because their jewelry comes from a very avante garde design process: the Massachusetts design team describes it as “using a novel process that employs computer simulation to generate designs and digital fabrication to realize products. Drawing inspiration from natural phenomena, we write computer programs mimicking processes and patterns found in nature and use those programs to create unique and affordable art, jewelry, and housewares.” Basically, they design using patterns from nature as interpreted by machines. Would you expect anything less from a Biology major and a math major, respectively? And they put their money where thier nature lovin’ mouths are too: everything is made ethically and eco-friendly.
Nervous System is bridging the gap between geek and chic faster than Tina Fey!

See you tomorrow for more accessory adoration!
