    WhatsWear Has Discovered A Way To Tweet In Gold And Diamonds

    Twitter just became a whole lot more relevant to me. For today I learned that Twitter can now be something I wear around my neck... in gold.. and diamonds. Survival of the Hippest is a hot new accessories line inspired by the same social networking system that caused Miley Cyrus to rap and LL to fight even more publicly with Samantha Ronson. Using your TwitterName (or "hashtag" comment if you know what the hell this is), SOTH creates beautiful jewelry -- fairly reminiscent of the name necklaces made popular by Carrie Bradshaw. They are custom-made out of sterling silver, 14k gold and [drool] diamonds, and can be placed on a necklace, a key chain, a bracelet, an anklet or a pin. As SOTH pointed out, wearing your Twitter ID around a visible body part will helpfully point you out to your virtual friends, who they note "may not recognize you from your proper name or tiny Twitter picture"... seriously, a SOTH piece isn't just fashionable, it is your gilded token to making actual flesh-and-blood friends! Also, we must mention these necklaces and bracelets work perfectly as a fun layering piece or as a unique present for your friend who has everything. You can even show these Twitterific pieces to your grandchildren while explaining the Twitter phenomenon. Think about it, they'll most likely be vintage in just a couple decades! When you're not busy tweeting, don't forget to visit our friends at WhatsWear for more unique design finds!

    Forget picture frame magnets, mixed CDs, and those other gimmicky favors you've been considering doling out to your wedding attendees. Get on your guests' sweet side with a spread of sweet treats! Candy buffets are a fun, colorful reception trend nowadays that are used in place of favors (no, not in place of dinner!) and look gorgeously festive when matched with your wedding colors. With overflowing tiers of homemade goods, trays of colorful truffles, or decorative jars full of your everyday favorite goodies, you can arrange a beautiful table complete with cute candy scoops and personalized to-go boxes and part with guests on a sweet note! You can even ditch the color scheme and stick with a theme, like a fireside s'mores bar for a rustic reception! Check out Wedding Bee's Candy Buffet Wiki page for some advice on setting up your own, complete with example pictures and links to all the sugary supplies, and don't forget to take a look at the slideshow for some more cute ideas!

    Mother's Day is just around the corner and I've been thinking long and hard about the best gifts for her. After all, she is the woman who went through 12 hours of labor to bring me into the world! From fresh flowers to a spa getaway, they're all thoughtful gifts but aren't exactly the most personalized approach, so I've been on the lookout for personalized and creative ways to show your mom you care. One of my favorite picks is a personalized photo charm bracelet. Just send the artist a few memorable pictures or even some old artwork from your childhood, and she'll make a bracelet no one else will have! If your mom loves to entertain with parties for any occasion, then she'd appreciate a personalized set of preppy argyle plates. If you are thinking about getting a personalized gift for your mom, order soon because some stores can take 2-3 weeks to process and ship your order! Take a look at my slideshow for some personalized gift ideas for the #1 woman in your life.

    Finally -- the rush is over! You've sent the invites, carried the bouquet, and said the "I-do"s: all that's left are the thank yous! Don't worry, everyone knows you've been hard at work preparing the ceremony of the century, and they're not expecting your notes of gratitude anytime soon: you've got 365 days (well, less, if you've honeymooned) to write your guests for the Egyptian cotton linens, candlesticks, massage oils and a book on tantra from the wacky aunt -- yeah, yeah, you know what I'm talking about! While Hallmark's nice and all, why not treat those that have treated you with cards made to match your theme or are just simply crafted with a ravishing class and charm. Whatever your tastes, these paper-trade picks will please the eyes of your irreplaceable family and friends -- so let them know how much you appreciate them and send them something to gawk about with these slideshow tips!
