What a Jersey Girl Wants.

Take note boyfriend and parents, this is something I would wear everyday and any day. I'm sure most of the Jersey girls I know would feel the same.

How cute is this!!?? Even though these are one sale on gilt today (yo gilt members, get on it!), I'm still not in a position to spend any money, but I long for this necklace. The diamond in the center is really sweet (though I wish you could customize it and move it closer to where you actually inhabit the state), but I don't need it. The plain sterling silver version is good enough for me, especially because then it wouldn't clash with the white gold and diamond heart necklace that I usually wear every day (when the chain wasn't snapped by me being stupid).

To be straight, even though I lovelovelove Jersey, I know I'm not going to spend the rest of my life there. You've read my posts people, I hate hate HATE the cold, and it can get realllyyyyyy chilly in the north dirty. I actually fell in love with California on a family visit there, and dream that that is where I will land, but you never know. Whatever happens, my home state will always be beloved to me, where people go down the shore, we eat amazing bagels and pizza, and if you don't move fast, you get lost in the shuffle.

P.S. lovers, check out Maya Brenner's website even if you're not digging the state charms (which come in all fifty, hello!). Her designs are super beautiful and delicate. I'm also loving her zodiac pendants.

EDIT: Erin says that if you read the website like a literate person, you find out that the diamond can be moved anywhere on the coast!
