The Alternative.

Do you love that spikey Jason Wu necklace?  Yes.

Can you afford it?  Well, I really can't answer that one for you; but, I know I can't.

Lucky for you, I'm awesome and found the perfect alternative!  

The UrbanHeir spike necklaces, $60, is a great alternative to the Jason Wu necklace.  It's a little more wearable, and much, much less expensive. Yay!  Plus the designer is local, and thats always a plus.  You can buy this necklace, and others at her Etsy!

Bling.

The other day I came across this local (Houston, TX) jewelry designer who sells her pieces on Etsy.  I have to say that I really love all of the pieces.  I never really like to spend more than $50 (if even that much) on a piece of jewelry, but I am IN LOVE with this necklace.  

       

 It's $115.00, and I have to have it.  Sadly, I've spent all of my money on the Stam and a few T by Alexander Wang pieces.  Drat.

The jeweler who makes it is UrbanHeir, and she has tons of other really great pieces on her Etsy.  You can also get an update on other pieces she's making in her blog.  Here are a few of my other favorites:
