Today’s Biggest Temptation: J Ryan Jewelry at Hysteria

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Good morning, shoppers! Happy hump day!

I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly daydreaming about spring these days. It felt so good to flip my desk calendar to March last Friday, I literally kissed the February sheet goodbye! And, well, wouldn’t you know the ladies at Hysteria are doing what they can to make it even harder to concentrate. Today through Sunday, the fabulous store is featuring a J Ryan Jewelry trunk show!

If you’ve never perused local designer Julie Ryan’s assortment of spring-tastic pretties, now is the time. The bracelets, earrings and necklaces (organized in three categories: Classic, Fun & Flirty and Natural) somewhat remind me of those by my absolute fave local jewelry designer, Meg Carter Designs. I’m especially a fan of J Ryan’s necklaces — like this one, this one, this one and this one, not to mention the beauty pictured to the right. Each is sure to add pop to neutral tops and dresses and make its lucky owner feel blissfully beachy.

Thanks, Hysteria, for bringing yet another fabulous local designer to my attention. Now, I have even more items to add to my wish list, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

Ps. Sorry for the disruptions with our Web site earlier this week. Here’s hoping you were able to read Devon’s post about Critters (& Couture!) for the Cure yesterday.
