Project Design: Prufrock Jewelry

By -
Project Design is our own friendly competition where we put together collection of independent designers for you to rate on your very own imaginary runway.

April is National Poetry month, and becca and I plan to spend the weekend at one of Chicago's big poetry bashes. Poetry tells us that April is also the cruelest month (so true). In honor of this April collision, this week's Project Design focuses on images from my favorite poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot.

"The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,"
Yellow cat stained glass brooch by Virginie
"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons"
Have a Coffee with Me ring by Sora Designs
"And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall"
Green lucite bracelet with real beetles by Kolos Studio
"I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas..."
I have heard the mermaids singing"
A Mermaid's Treasure by Jewels of Avallon
"Do I dare to eat a peach?"
Apricot gemstone necklace by Tefi
"Prufrock" Poetry Cufflinks by Tilly Bloom

I don't know, but the cat Brooch looks like he's saying something fantastic in a Pepe le Peu accent.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not?
