Danielle Christine Jewelry & Fated to Be Hated Update

My shameless plug for the day. I'll probably post a jewelry post every once in a while to keep you updated on the latest happenings going on with Danielle Christine Jewelry.

I make some pretty great jewelry ass most of you know. I've been doing it for quite some time now and I love doing it because 1. It's fun 2. It let's me be creative and turn my inspirations into wearable art.  and 3. I get so excited when someone wants to wear it!

Any artist gets excited when a painting, or sculpture, or whatever you've worked so very hard on sells, because you someone wants it to hang in their living room or use it for whatever purpose, but jewelry and accessories are a little bit different in my eyes, because people get to really show it off. I wear my own jewelry often and it's amazing when someone compliments it and you get to say "I made it."

So anyway, I just wanted to show off my latest work and then also show off some photos of one of my favorite fashionistas Bebe Zeva, wearing one of my pieces.


 I haven't posted these on my Etsy Shop  yet, but they will be up today...Brand new!!




Check out my Up in Smoke blog post to see what inspired me to make this! 





Whats's your favorite new item? 

And heres Bebe!!





I just love how she puts together her outfits and accessories. The necklace really compliments this look and I think she did an amazing styling job with this shoot. See the rest of this look HERE.

Check out her many and very much "hyped" looks on Lookbook.nu

and her personal styling blog Fated to be Hated to see more of the lovely Bebe Zeva.

Creams&Browns/Warm Neutrals: Color Post

I'm usually more of a bright color kinda person, but seeing some of these neutral photos just made me feel so cozy I had to make a post! Sometimes a collection of colors can just make you feel good. I want to do a few posts that revolve around that idea. It's a little different than my other posts but I like to give some spice and variety to my blog :)


All images found on tumblr...I apologize for not having the original sources! One thing I don't like about Tumblr.























Don't you just feel all warm and fuzzy inside??

And just to keep up with my actual finds of the day, I found some lovely etsy items in these browns and creams that I think you will just love. Heres my Browns and Creams Etsy Treasury!

Handmade Etsy Finds: Summer Camp

This post is dedicated to my summer camp memories. While coming across two new trends, adult friendship bracelets and tie dye..and I mean tie dye EVERYTHING, I started thinking about all the fun things we would make during arts and crafts at camp. And then it just got me going and I made an etsy treasury with all things summer camp! Here's my finds of the day:

Adult Friendship Bracelets. They're basically you're average friendship bracelet, but blinged out to the max.


This one mixed chains and crystals and even has a leather backing...super fancy.


These ones are really crazy. I like them a lot!

Tie Dye. Now that summer is just around the corner...although it doesn't feel like it in Chicago right now 
*sadface* I'm starting to see a lot of tie dye even in stores around here. And summer camp was the perfect place to learn!


Heres some of my favorite tie dye Etsy finds:



These are a bit different that your classic tie dye tee-shirt, but thats why I love them!

And heres a few more finds that are just fun.



Nope you can't eat it, but you can clean up your sticky mess afterwards with it!



Who didn't make a crown of flowers during Summercamp?? Or in your backyard at least...This one is just gorgeous.



I may have to purchase this. Least favorite part about camp? The bugs. YUCK and I always hate the smell of bug spray so I never wanna use it. Maybe something natural might be a better option! 


Omg this thing was just so cute...I want it. It's a handmade felted chipmunk. Looks just like the real thing and I thought it was the perfect addition to my treasury!

Well here's the treasury itself if you wanna see the rest of my finds. Take a look at my other ones and of course check out my etsy shop while your there!!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/daniglamour
