i heart: muse

when i'm making jewelry i always ask myself, who would wear this?? which is where my muses come in. typically they're celebrities who have inspired me over the years by way of their style and/or chutzpah. this week i want to focus on one of those muses, actress & singer/songwriter zooey deschanel. 

i know, i know- who doesn't love zooey, right?? i've tried to dislike her, she's so cute & twee, but i just can't bring myself to toss her aside. she's so cute & twee! and talented- have you heard she & him, her musical collaboration with portland musician m. ward?? just gorgeous. 

and in real life, zooey's style embodies so perfectly the aesthetic i model my jewelry after: vintage/modern. 

and here are zooey's namesake necklace & earrings, now available in the shop-

as far as i'm concerned, her best performance is in the david gordon green film, all the real girls. check it out, check out she & him and i guarantee you'll love zooey just as much as i do. and now you know where to get the perfect accessories to embody her style.
