Pretty cool pretty things
I may be a Metalchik, but that doesn't mean I'm not also a CHICK at heart. And even when I'm schlepping acetylene tanks around lower Manhattan and forging in my studio - never mind strolling the streets of the Diamond District in search of stones - I want to look good!
Jewelry is my thing and I can usually figure THAT part out, but I can sometimes use help with my other accessories and coordinating my look. Somehow the logger boots that I wear to weld just don't go with my Louis handbag and Dior sunglasses. Wonder why?! Could it be those nasty yellow laces?
Well, luckily for the clutch-challenged likes of me, salvation is right at hand...er, excuse the pun. Enter Kimmie Smith, creator of one the best accessories sites around, Seeprettythings. A sharp blogger with an even sharper eye for style, Kimmie's daily blog is filled with super selections of fun shoes, purses, belts, and, of course, jewelry! I love it that Kimmie makes it easy for a busy Metalchik and Mom like me to find cool accent pieces to spice up a look. Seeprettythings is a playful, fun but totally informative destination with a ton of pics to whet the accessorizing appetite. And more, Seeprettythings supports the DIYers, the indies, the grrls...like Metalchik!!!
For example, Kimmie recently featured awesome boots by Victoria's Secret...who even knew VC HAD boots? But the real kicker? Lots of entries about Indie designers and profiles of sites that celebrate independent designers like Styleprodigy. Kimmie also takes takes time to talk up designers who do work for charities and causes. I guess responsible accessorizing doesn't mean just matching the right shoes with right bag!
With all this wonderfulness, it's no wonder Elle Magazine rated Seeprettythingsthe best accessories blog of 2006! If Metalchik has any say in it, Kimmie will be a hot contender this year as well. Thanks Kimmie!!
