Pink Rock Candy – Top fashion trends, news and shopping of 2010

It seems, starting a new year and new internship has left me nothing less than neglectful to PRC. I have to get better at balancing new activities with old activities. It’s like this song I learned in grade school, “make new friends, but keep the old…” I’ve always struggled with that concept, when I move I cut pretty much all ties, unfortunately or fortunately depending on the ties.

I also have an odd severing tendency when it comes to jewelry. For some odd reason, I can’t bring myself to obsess over more than one type of jewelry at a time. During my last years of high school, I love large chandelier earrings. Then, after making the move from the Mid-West to the East Coast, I canned the earring and draped myself in necklaces, but now I’m starting to lust after over-sized rings for the new year.

Perhaps that is my unconscious way of self-censoring. I’ve never liked delicate jewelry, only the big and bold— an assume repercussion of growing up in the “super-size it” glory days— and, without some sort of censoring mechanism I might end up looking like I was attacked by Claire’s.

When looking for original jewelry, Etsy seemed like the obvious place to head, and lucky I did because options were found and a new jewelry obsession was secured. For less than $20 each I could satiate my urge to either be extremely art nouveu (Glint) or sweet an girlie (Heatherly Designs) all while sporting a great cocktail ring.

Now the trick is to balance my long-time love of layered necklaces with my flavor of the week, cocktail rings. Tricky, tricky!
