Everyday Jewelry

Today I’m sharing two of my favorite online boutiques for everyday jewelry wear. I’m not much of jewelry girl, I don’t think I ever was, accessorizing in general was just not at the top of my interest. I’ve been looking for simple, affordale and well-designed rings, necklaces and earrings that I can start a small collection with. I was feeling shy about hinting my man know what my preferrable style is when it comes to jewelry. I just felt bad telling him that I didn’t really like what he got me on every anniversary, valentines, birthdays and more. I think most men do think that expensive jewelry can’t go wrong but little do they know that jewelrys are such a personal taste (probably more so than clothes). So don’t be shy about letting your man know where you prefer him to shop at. Promise, it’s a win-win.  ; )
STILL HOUSE (New York) and PARC BOUTIQUE (Minneapolis) both are so worth checking out!

BREWWELL is a terrific coffee shop in the heart of Koreatown, located right next to Assi Supermarket in case you would like to get your coffee fix and a jar of gochujang in one convenient trip. The shop’s space is bright and comfortable, with big chairs and tables well suited for meeting or working. Brew/Well rotates its coffee selection — Handsome Coffee Roasters and Heart Coffee Roasters were both recently in the hopper — and you’ll find your usual menu of pour-overs, Gibraltars, cappuccinos and so on, all prepared by a team of solid baristas. Beyond that, the shop isn’t afraid to take those drinks and add all sorts of fun flavors: The “Creative Menu” includes an espresso topped with “honeyed foam” and a latte sweetened with honey and cinnamon. QUENELLE supplies the pastries. 3525 W. Eighth St., #101, Koreatown
