I <3 Street Fairs – Wink + Flip Jewelry
New York City has some great street fairs. One of my favorites, the Hester Street Fair—between Hester and Essex streets, in the Lower East Side—is actually pretty small, but it has great quality food, clothes and jewelry. Not too long ago on a Saturday, after stopping for a goat cheese and tomato omelet, buying some [...]

Rubber Choker & Bracelet, by Marzio Fiorini
I first heard about Marzio Fiorini a few years ago during a trip to Paraty, while I still lived in Brazil. His jewelry work stroke me for the intricate designs and unusual choice rubber as the main material. What makes the Aros choker (shown here) even more original, is that it can be taken apart [...]

Compass (Tehya) Necklace, by All Saints Spitafields
“Compass Necklace” isn’t the official product name from this recently acquired favorite, All Saints Spitafields—a store that almost made me droll the first time I walked in— would rather call it the Tehya Necklace. Their new store in SoHo is phenomenal. The interior design is perfectly consistent with the collection, the steampunk aesthetic was meticulously applied [...]

Nixon Watch
Working on a project for a fashion brand is making my routine of digging through my closet a bit harder, I just can’t seem to think anything there is worthy of a post (sigh). As for the item on the picture, I just like watches a lot and I have a bunch of them in [...]

Valentina Bracelet
My apologies for the long hiatus, there have been many reasons why I haven’t been able to post, including lots of family happenings and visitors. I got the Valentina comic bracelet at Doc Dog, a multi-brands store in Brazil. I remember it wasn’t cheap for such a simple item—most imported items at Doc Dog tend [...]

Marc Jacobs + Maripol Bracelet
Last time I walked into a Marc Jacobs store I was very excited to see their new line of colorful, plastic and rubber jewelry created in collaboration with Maripol, the designer who was responsible for most Madonna’s jewelry in the mid 80′s and art director of everyone’s favorite brand at the time: Fiorucci. The 80′s [...]

Multi Strand Necklace
I like big necklaces, but I was never a huge fan of gold until about two years ago. This piece, bought at a fashion market in Williamsburg, has saved many outfits from boredom, including white tee shirt and jeans. So, designer, if you come across this post, please leave your name so I can give [...]

Acrylic Earrings
A classic ornament turns modern when it’s cut in acrylic. These are from the now (sadly) closed Scandinavian Details store, in San Francisco.

Lightning Bolt Earrings, from Urban Outfitters
Another cheap cheap cheap find from Urban Outfitters. I lost the first pair and ran to get another one before they were sold out.

Cartoon Necklace
One of my dearest pieces, I don’t even wear it a lot because I’d hate to see it getting old and scratched. It’s also a little uncomfortable to wear because people tend to stare at the artwork while talking to me.

Fork Bracelet & Spoon Ring
I bought these at a street market in London, many, many years ago. I thought it was such a smart idea to use forks and spoons to make jewelry! Since then I’ve seen these at a couple other fairs, not so original anymore.

Cohn Knuckle Ring
One of my everyday favorites. From: Cohn at Galeria Ouro Fino, in São Paulo. By the way, if you can’t make it to Brazil, OAK NYC carries a selection of really cool knuckle rings.

Nooka Purple Watch
I was never good with analogue watches, although, like most humans, I ended up getting used to them. Just in time to start learning how to read the time all over again, with the Nooka I got from the Poke. And it’s purple, like many of the things I own these days.
