Recently I worked the SHOP.COM table at the Shecky’s Girl’s Night Out mega shopping event in Los Angeles. It was soooo much fun. There was shopping and free cocktails and amazing deals on some of the coolest stuff in clothes , shoes, jewelry, handbags, accessories, cosmetics and more. They’re really on to something with the concept. Bring your very best friends, have a couple of drinks and shop ‘til you drop! A trend that caught my eye because it was ALL OVER Shecky’s GNO and seemingly everywhere else I seem to look is SPIRITUAL JEWELRY. When I say that, I don’t mean actual rosaries and mala beads – I’m talking more like bracelets made FROM mala beads or earrings made FROM rosary beads. Yoga jewelry, or sacred symbols like the OM symbol, which stands for inner peace and tranquility. Birthstones , crystals and other healing stones are also popping up on the wrists, necks and earlobes of almost everyone.  So what’s the point of all this spiritual bling, you wonder? It’s pretty and all but what does it all really mean? It can best be summed up by one designer who says:  “my pieces are all carefully designed to enhance, energize, and inspire inner beauty and spirituality to reflect the natural beauty that surrounds us.”  Makes me want to breathe a little deeper. OM !
