This goldtone bracelet is so (sorry!) charming. There’s a teeny taxi, pretzel, apple, subway token, and more. Even if you’ve never been to NYC, it’s a colorful addition to your ensem. Plus it’s 100% brass, so it should stand up to my less-than-delicate treatment. (I’m not so graceful.)

If you’re tired of accessorizing with chandelier earrings that weigh more than a small child, try these bitty bows on for a change. Since they’re white gold, they won’t tarnish like silver, and since they’re made for an actual small child they come with a screw back post so they stay put. (I […]

Back in the days when my to-do list consisted of playing in the turtle-shaped sandbox and making sure to be back home in time for a PB and Banana sandwich and some afternoon Gem cartoons, I rocked a sweet plastic chain necklace like this one. Mine had colorful little charms shaped like ponies and […]

I’m instantly drawn to the contrasting shapes and bold colors of this unique and lovely charm necklace. My guess is that in a sea of chunky beads and layers of strands, this delicate jumble will get lots of attention. Wear it with a basic boy-beater and wait for it to catch the […]
