i, too have a hurricane in me!

let's just get facts sorted.  queen lizzie the 1st was the epitome of girl power, about 500 years before it was "cool".  to this day she is the most bad-ass chick EVER (along with Boudica - but that's a far more remote reference - check her out if you need a dose of female empowerment).  plus she got to live in a castle and have all the stuff that goes along with THAT.  just imagine all the shoes for the love of god.

anyhoo - back to business.  Temple St. Clair is an amazing,, GORGE jewelry line (they sell at Barneys).  the word "Renaissance" is often used to describe it, which is all well and good, but to be honest it just makes me feel all Elizabeth inside.  it's a bit on the costy side, not exactly the type of line you can collect... until now.  lo and behold, those purveyors of lower cost goods Target have swooped in a scooped up another designer.  (they actually grabbed this one a while back, it was announced in April but the line is not due out till August - so i kindly waited so that all of us would not forget.  we're very busy in our minds after all...)  yes indeedie - come end of August (i've heard the 29th) - Target's Temple St. Clair  collection will hit the stores and the big ol' interwebs.   the earrings and ring pictured will each retail at $30 and the necklace at $40.  can't wait to see the rest of the collection.  am i already in love with these earrings?  yes.   i will wear them and pile my hair up on my head while returning my kingdom to its former glory.
