The "I do" Wedding Band -- Jewelry that Speaks to Us

When "conceptual jeweler" Sakurako Shimizu came up with the idea to capture the beauty of the waveforms and engrave them on simple but elegant jewelry pieces, she probably had no idea that she had just come up with the most awesome trend in wedding jewelry ever. But she had. Shimizu makes her distinctive jewelry by recording sounds, isolating certain words -- as she did with her "I do" ring shown to the right -- and carefully cuts the waveform into rings, brooches, whatever. Genius.

We love companies that really give back, and when it's a tiny mom & pop business working hard to make a difference, even better! Vivian Cheng and Eric Jean-Louis are a Canadian husband-and-wife design team who started their jewelry company, Blend Creations, in 2005.

Keeping it Simple

Simply put, Simple brand shoes have always ruled, but their ecoSNEAKS and GreenToe (Green Piggies for the kiddies) lines are so fantastic that we feel a bit guilty wearing anything else.

Simple started out as a "stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes." They claim to have learned a few things along the way, and we are inclined to believe them. They say the biggest lesson thus far is this: "HOW we make our shoes is just as important as WHY we make them."

Take the Spiegel signature style quiz

Email thisPosted Mar 31st 2008 at 2:36PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Style in the News, Vintage and Retro

Sometimes I think I'm a fashion schizophrenic. I like bright, bold prints and funky styles. But I also like soft, neutral, flowy looks. I like metallics and sexy black outfits, but I'm a sucker for a romantic sundress.

So, when I saw that Spiegel had a What's Your Signature Style quiz (with examples at the end for all but one style), I jumped right in (plus, who doesn't like quizzes?). It's haaard ... there were several questions for which I could have easily chosen two (or more) different answers. But, when I finished, my style was Natural Sophistication. Hmm, really?
