Sugar on a budget

I have been absolutely obsessing over 2 pieces of exquisite jewelry since I got the June Lucky a week ago....both pieces are completely different from each other...I guess it just shows how much of a fashion schizo I am. I have been trying, and have been 50% successful, in finding budget versions of both pieces...
Pink Spinel Swivel Ring
22k gold
$2,820

My version:

(okay so it isn't as shiny and it doesn't swivel, but its the same effect)
Gray Gaia
$21

And this is truly my favorite, my absolute obsession-probably because I can't find anything else like it...anywhere.
"Blossom" Pendant, $192-218 (depends on chain length)

Bringing back the Bomber

On a recent vintage trek with my pal Emily, I stumbled across the most amazing, ahead of the curve item: a nylon bomber jacket.

The jacket is perfect for unpredictable Southern Spring/Summer nights...I threw it in the car this past weekend as an afterthought...so relieved when a monsoon hit Birmingham around 8:30!
I got my gently used version at The Clothing Warehouse in Virginia Highland for $34.95.
