    Nifty Nautical Finds For Vintage Fashionistas

    image

    You may remember from elementary school history that Magellan was the first person to circumnavigate the globe and it was quite the feat. He started his voyage with 280 men and five ships on September 1519 and arrived back in port almost three years later with only one ship and 18 crew members remaining. But does anyone know the name of the first woman to circumnavigate the globe? That distinction belongs to Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz, who completed her journey in 1976 in only 401 days. Oh, and she did it solo! Of course, not all of us have the drive for adventure and the bravery required for such daring-do. But if you don't see a personal yacht in your future, don't despair. You can still embrace the spirit of sailing with these nifty nautical finds. Just click the slideshow to see the selection!

    Diamonds may be forever but it could take what seems like forever before you can save enough to splurge on them, especially in today's economy. And with gold prices in the stratosphere, what's a fashionista to do? Turn to vintage costume jewelry! Instead of spending money on new clothes this season, why not try adding a handful of unique vintage jewelry pieces to punch up the items already hanging in your closet? By choosing rhinestones over diamonds, baked enamel over turquoise, and semi-precious stones over precious stones, you can razzle and dazzle on a much lower budget without sacrificing an ounce of style. Plus, if you select wisely, you might even see a 10-15% gain in value as the years pass by. Just click the slideshow for a hand-picked selection of great vintage costume jewelry choices.

The imaginative array of vintage key pendants were inspired by those from the Tiffany Archives and have been reworked from their original uses as keepsake box openers and diary keepers (who knows what secrets they once held!) and updated with a modern wearable chicness. From sterling silver and yellow and white gold to platinum and diamond-encrusted, the design possibilities are plentiful and it's difficult not to find something that fits with just about anyone's personal style among the variety of floral-inspired, medallion-like, heart-shaped, and classic-looking charms. Already spotted on the likes of Jessica Biel, it seems like these fanciful keys are sure to be a hot trend while still maintaining an air of uniqueness and mystery with so many styles to choose from.

    Give Back In Throwback Style With Trinkets By Double K Jewelry

    Recycling just got much more chic with Double K Jewelry! The line started when designer Kelleigh Kincaid was looking for some jewelry pieces that had a more personal touch and a tad more soul than what she could find in stores. Inspired by ages past, she draws on the art nouveau movement and the turn of the century for inspiration in creating her interesting pieces. Her ideas aren't the only thing that comes from the past, however; the necklaces and earrings are created using vintage and recycled items that are reworked into modern day wearable pieces. The Spring 2009 "Maltese Falcon" collection was inspired by the glamour of 1920s San Francisco. Vintage deco pendants, oxidized chains, and even vintage clock parts become long necklaces perfect for layering and pairing with delicate pendant earrings. Not only is the line eco-friendly and recycled, the designer also pledges to donate 10% of the proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Check out the slideshow to see some of my personal favorite styles, then take a look at their website DoubleKJewelry.com for a complete store listing!
