I have been hearing a lot of good things about the iPhone 5. Sadly, I doubt I will be upgrading my phone any time soon. They are just so expensive and they always seem to become outdated the second you take it out of the box. Oh well, I still like looking at all the fun iPhone cases out there. Marc by Marc Jacobs is always coming out with interesting ones. Some are quirky and some, like the one you see here, are gothic. Introducing the Marc by Marc Jacobs Skulls iPhone 5 Case!

I really like the simple hard plastic shell-style cases. They snap on without adding a lot of bulk. Just because they are simple doesn’t mean they are boring though! That is why I am loving this particular case. The sketched skulls are abstract and somewhat playful. I like how the white lines stand out against the black background. They create such a powerful impact without going over the top.

Has anyone heard of Lulu Frost? I recently stumbled upon this designer while browsing Shopbop.com and I will admit I became instantly obsessed! Everything about this designer is intriguing. Lisa Salzer named her line after her grandmother, who worked in the estate and antique jewelry business. She uses found objects to create one-of-a-kind pieces and her designs carry with them a great vintage vibe. Interestingly, some of her most recent pieces appear to have a bit of ancient Egyptian influence. Just check out the Lulu Frost Insight Necklace!

Is the warm weather calling you? It is definitely calling me! After this winter that never wanted to end, I could really use a healthy dose of fun in the sun. Let’s see, what will I need? Sunscreen.

I have just the solution too. Introducing the Jonathan Adler Specs Cases!

I don’t know why, but I feel the urge to buy a new pair of sunglasses every year around this time. I guess nothing makes things feel more like summer than a brand new pair of sunnies! Normally I tend to lean towards brown ones (black always seems so harsh). This year though, I keep looking at more colorful styles. I am really liking the greens and the blues. That’s probably why I instantly fell in love with the pair you see here. Meet the Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses in Green Mirror!

Ballet flats are super popular right now. I love them because I really can’t wear heels. They hurt my feet so bad! So I am really glad ballet flats are “in”. However, I have noticed a bit of a problem as warm weather approaches. I like the look of ballet flats without socks or hosiery when worn with a skirt or a pair of shorts. I see so many people walking around with nothing inside their shoes except their feet. See the problem here? Not wearing socks just makes my feet feel yucky. I just can’t do it. So how do I get the look without feeling gross? Introducing the Falke Invisible Step Socks!

It seems like I have always had this thing for long and skinny necklaces. Chains are okay, but what I really like are bead necklaces. For the longest time, I was gravitating toward those little seed bead strands. But the trends have been changing and it seems chunky beads are much more popular now. That’s a shame because I still really like long necklaces. I think I may have found a happy medium though. Meet the Chan Luu Graduated Bead Necklace!

This is going to sound awful, but I have always seen clip-on earrings as an “old lady” sort of thing. Not having pierced ears was certainly more common among the older generations. I am pretty sure my grandma wore clip-on earrings. Therefore, the clip-on earrings I am familiar with have a very vintage feeling about them. Most of the ones I have seen are large, button styles. They are meant to conceal the fact they have a clip without being too heavy. So you can probably imagine my surprise when I came across the earrings you see here. Introducing the Alexis Bittar New Wave Earrings.

As you already know, I have this thing for bracelets. Right now, they are my favorite kind of jewelry. Sure I like my necklaces, earrings, and rings. But there is just something about bracelets that I find irresistible. Sweet and dainty or big and bold, I love them all! I am even liking these vintage-inspired styles I see popping up everywhere. Take, for example, the Aurelie Bidermann Miki Dora Tassel Bracelet!
