Decorate My Life

I have a hard time finding and choosing the right jewelry. In the case of shoes and handbags, I know what I like and look for good quality. With clothing, I look for clothes that feel good to wear and fit well (although pants occasionally are still a problem). Accessorizing, however, seems to require some innate talent that I do not possess. Plus, I like to keep it simple, and picking out jewelry in the morning sounds as difficult to me as having to get dressed twice. So I throw my hands up, and don't wear any. But, as a result, I feel that I look unfinished. I recently bought a couple of bracelets, and am in serious need of some earrings - just a set of gold or silver posts to keep me from looking so plain. However, if I ever decide to amp it up, I may have to go for something like these pieces that I saw in last week's New York Times, in the "Sunday Styles" section (cocktail rings always seem so fun to me - they remind me of playing dress up as a kid):

I'm also really sad that House and Garden has gone. Living overseas, I mooched in the newsagent's for months, before I realised it was truly gone. Domino is a really poor substitute, and Architectural Digest obscure in a strangely shallow way. I can't imagine buying either. I looked forward to H & G every month. I hope Conde Nast wake up to themselves and republish, as they did before when HG folded.
