Half Lucid LONDON Capsule Collection

So excited to announce that I am now at work on a VERY special capsule collection of Half Lucid Jewelry, inspired by my recent trip to London. England had a charismatic effect on my creativity, inspiring me to write and look at the world in a new way. While there, I gathered materials for the upcoming LONDON collection and am now working on it. The pieces will be one of a kind, so that means that once they're sold, they will be unavailable.

If you are a fashion blogger and are interested in featuring the collection on your blog, please contact me. I will be giving away ONE piece from the collection to a fashion blogger (chosen at random) so this is a good chance for you to win a special piece of Half Lucid Jewelry. If you know fashion bloggers who might be interested, please let them know they can tweet me ( @kendrybird ) or email me (kendralsaunders@yahoo.com). All fashion bloggers interested in featuring the LONDON collection need to contact me by 12/12 for more information.

Look forward to sharing it with you all!

Send Kendry Bird to England!

The Kendry Bird blog and its stylish owner would very much like to visit England this year for a research trip (for novels), to visit friends and to get some insider looks at English style.

You can help me get there by picking up a piece or two of Half-Lucid jewelry here or making a donation through Paypal to kendralsaunders@yahoo.com (any donation over $15 will get a postcard from England once I return to the US. US addresses only though, please!)

 See more here! http://kendralsaunders.com/sendkendratoengland.html

Once over there, you could expect photos of street style, a full write-up and maybe even some interviews with some stylish English ladies (and gents!) Ultimately I'd love the trip to take place in late September over to early October, so please share this link to your friends who love great jewelry and order some Half-Lucid! :)

New!! "Boho Swingers" from Half-Lucid

Soooo I got creative the other day and made a new style of earrings called Boho Swingers. The prototype was made specially for me, but I'm thinking of adding them to Half-Lucid's inventory. (And speaking of Half-Lucid, two pairs of Half-Lucid's Babecatchers will be featured in a fashion shoot for an upcoming issue of a magazine. More details on that soon!)

What do you think of the Boho Swingers? Leave a comment or tweet me @kendrybird !

Daffodils, Spring and New Earrings!

Despite waking up almost every morning to snowflakes, I keep saying "Spring is coming, Spring is coming!" Maybe if we say it enough, it'll happen. In the meantime, though, I'm working on a new pair of Babecatcher Earrings. These ones are inspired by my favorite flowers, daffodils. They're almost done, and here they are making their first appearance in the world!

**You can get your own pair of Babecatcher Earrings from Half-Lucid Jewelry for $27.99. Just shoot me a tweet (@kendrybird) or comment here for more information!

The Psychology of a Bangin' Outfit

I've talked before about how empowering it is to wear something on the outside that reflects whatever you feel on the inside (wild, colorful, loud, prim, classy, etc) but it still amazes me how we can all have days when we put an outfit together and it just doesn't work. Then we might try it again and later and... it just works. You're on fire, you feel amazing, and you don't hide from any cameras that might pop out at you.

Tonight I thought a lot about that very subject, while tearing through my closet in search of an outfit for an upcoming event, and saying things like "I have nothing to wear!" to my (very patient) sister. 2013 included a lot of major public appearances for me, including a book signing at the Book Expo America, several fashion shows at NYFW, an appearance at New York Comic Con, and a book signing in my home town. And then there was that 4 day trip to Ohio to visit with my best friend. Anytime a best friend is involved, especially one you only get to see once a year, you have to up your fashion game.

So here's a collection of some of my favorite outfits from 2013. Feel free to tweet me some pictures of your own, over at @kendrybird
