It's been pretty hot in Southern California. Hot and humid. Even though it's hot, you can't hide inside. Errands must be done, which involves moving my buns from point A to B. Over the weekend, I went to Alpine Village in Torrance. Alpine Village is little piece of Germany transplanted into sunny Southern California.

I swear this is one of my favorite necklaces. It's the beads! It's the beads! They are so earthy and chunky.   My outfit this time with MY PEACE of jewelry consisted of this black Tunic and, these bright ass turquoise blue pants BDG Roadie Boot Jean , which of course I got from URBAN OUTFITTERS , on sale. Just bought a red pair online. Can't wait to wear them. Tibetan Mystical Bib Necklace on Etsy The center brown beads are from China. They're Tibetan maple/caramel colored Agate beads. Agate is like a rock that is created when molten minerals filled up a cavity in a host rock. They are semi-translucent. Tibetans consider Agate beade to have positive spiritual benefits with the ability to provide its bearer with strength, courage & PEACE (I love the word Peace) and calmness of the mind. No gemstone is more creatively striped by nature.   Handmade Jewelry & Mannequins
