Why Did You Wear That: Put a Ring (or Two) On It

They say there is no such thing as too much of a good thing… and while that may be debatable in some instances like cologne, when it comes to jewelry, I simply must agree.  Beyonce told us, if you like, you should put a ring on it… and really, who’s going to argue with Beyonce?  So my thinking is the more you like it, the more rings you should put on it, right?  Right.  So, I have taken to stacking several rings on my right ring finger and as of late it would appear that one ring is just not enough for us, ladies.

above the knuckle ringsWe are doubling, tripling, and quadrupling the rings on our fingers from index to pinky to knuckle.  One especially popular place to put a ring is right above the knuckle in delicate bands.  Many jewelry designers are making this trend quite simple by crafting offerings with multiple pieces so you can let everyone know just how much you like it.  And by “it,” I mean you.

girl superbowl

I had to double check that the Super Bowl had not, in fact, already happened.  (It will happen on February 3rd- I Googled it).  That said, my pun stands.  Anyway, in the cold winter months, dressing can become a bit of a bore.  How many different ways can we wear jeans?  And since some of you can’t get it through your pretty little skulls that leggings are not pants, I have come up with yet another option for comfort without sacrificing style.  The maxi dress is often associated with balmy summer nights and backyard barbecues, but I have found the knit long sleeve, slinky maxi dress to be one of my new favorite winter time staples.  There are endless ways to style this look be it a fur (faux) vest over top, layered in gauzy scarves, with flat motorcycle boots or sky high ankle booties.  The maxi dress is as versatile as it is comfortable.

true love

I mean, just because I’ve basically become asexual doesn’t mean the rest of the world has.  It’s cuffing season, after all.  So while I’m happiest sitting home rubbing Smitty’s belly with one hand and holding a glass of pinot in the other, it would appear the rest of the world is falling truly, madly, deeply.

  • The moment we’ve all (okay, I’ve) been waiting for… Jess Biel’s wedding dress revealed (and it’s pink?). [NY Mag]
  • Eva Longoria dumped Mark Sanchez… and fortunately for him, I happen to be free on Friday. [Page Six]
  • Which means I will definitely need something snazzy to wear… thank heavens for Maison Martin Margiela collection for H&M (see entire collection here). [Fashionista]
  • And just in case everything sells out before I can peel myself from bed, here are a few other date outfit options. [Refinery29]
  • If he doesn’t watch it, I may just plant a big fat kiss on him like this little Romeo. [Gawker]
  • We could dance the night away in New York’s soon to be biggest dance party, Space. [Eater]
  • Perhaps you’re more of the stay at home type, Mark.  That’s cool. I’ll just whip up this pumpkin lasagna. NBD. [Food Network]
  • I may need to go ahead and stock up on Agent Provocatuer’s new diffusion line, L’Agent. [Refinery29]
  • And should things not pan out… Let’s throw in a little Ryan Gosling… just for good measure. [NY Mag]
