Shit We Like



Lady and Fluff “heart” vintage jewelry, and we’re also huge proponents of recycling and re-purposing baubles from by-gone eras….which is why we are featuring a great jewelry designer this week who does just that: Sheryl Pang from Boheme Jewelry. Some of her pieces feature true vintage components, and all of them are sure to be as unique as they look….so that girl at work who looks like she’s been sifting through your closet will have NO idea where you got your accessories. You know how Lady and Fluff “hate” posers.

YAY for distinctive vintage trinkets!

Craft of the Week: Lady Chavez's Revamped Vintage Rings


Here's a tutorial on how I make my fabulous and super easy rings made from vintage clip-on earrings. If you're a girl, you'll be the flyest bird anywhere you go and if you're a dude, Valentine's Day is coming up and these rings = guranteed ass.

Oh and I went all artsy with the photos, hope you like (don't pay attention to my ashy hands and my busted fingernail polish-damn now you're going to pay attention)

1) Go thrifting or to yard/estate sales and get some clip-on earrings. You can use any earrings that are hot and retro looking and snip off the "clip-on" part so the back is just flat and nothing is attached.


2) You'll need to purchase some ring bases like the one below. I got mine from Oriental Trading but its better to get them through Etsy. Nothing sexual in the picture below....(Ok...Damn! You guys know me too well!)
3) Glue the earring to the ring with your trusty glue gun (y'all are really diggin' the artsyiness, I can tell)
4) And, Voila! There you have epic trendsetting in 4 easy steps. You're welcome
