Charm Co
Charm necklaces and just charms in general are one of my favorite things that exist. Those cute, lucky and clever ones, like the one above from Charm Co - love them all. I mean, how often do you find yourself with no wood around when you need to "knock on wood". Search no more!
They make a perfect gift - you can really show you know the person by getting them the perfect charm. Charms may sometimes have a different meaning and certain cultures can relate to certain symbols more than others.
One of the funniest examples that comes to my mind is the conversation with a client of mine from France. This is the question she asked when she saw the wishbone necklace.
- Qu-est-ce c’est?
what is it?
- C’est un os de dinde, le collier le plus vendu de Lucid New York
It’s a wishbone - a turkey bone, the best selling necklace of Lucid New York
- Un os?
A bone?
- Oui, un os.
Yes, a bone.
- Mais pourquoi quelqu’un voudrait porter un os sur son cou?
Why would anyone want to wear a bone on their neck?
Yes so the wishbone necklace didn’t get any love in France. Over there, the most loved was the high heel shoe necklace.
Initial Letter Studs Earrings
.jpg "initials-letters-necklaces")
Initial necklaces have been in the Lucid New York collection for a while now and have been extremely popular. Especially during the holiday season, when it’s so tough to come up with too many original ideas we can possibly handle, or when we don’t really know a person that well, a tiny letter necklaces really seem like a good idea.
I love layering my A initial necklace as you can see how I wore them in my previous post from the New York Fashion Week. They’re definitely cute - not in your face, showing some identity, some personality in a discreet way.
Well now a new idea was born. One of my clients - Uncommon Goods asked me to transform the oh so popular initial necklaces into initial letter stud earrings. Why not, I said and here they are - tiny letters that you can put right in your ear! The letter earrings are sterling silver or silver dipped in 14k so no worries as far as allergies, etc. How can you get them? Well you can vote on Uncommon Goods, which will make them hurry up to carry them.

Uncommon Goods Crowdsources Their Future Buying Choices
As competing for eyeballs, dollars gets more and more difficult, the ways that the companies try to get our attention get more and more creative. Crowdsourcing is one of the most cost effective ways to test products spreading the word about the brand and giving the customers the power of deciding. I have seen the Modcloth Be the Buyer initiative where we can decide what items the vintage site will stock in the future. Similarly, Uncommon Goods came up with the voting system where we are invited to stop by, vote on the possible future products and "shape the future of Uncommon Goods."
One of the Lucid New York pieces - Jump Rope Girl Necklace is also in the competition. The necklace, next to the portable ping pong set, Tilly sandal socks and infant fortune cookie booties competes to be chosen as the next Uncommon Good.
Looking forward to seeing the results. You can help to get the girl chosen by voting on Uncommon Goods.

Zebra Necklace the Star on Polyvore Sets
I was thrilled to see so many sets on Polyvore using the zebra necklace. It’s by far the most used piece to create sets. It must be the everlasting fascination by animal prints and the fun zebra necklace just goes along with it so well.

Mother’s Day Gifts - Lucid New York Helps Touch Foundation in the Unite 4 Moms Campaign
Lucid New York is proud to announce to be supporting a great cause - the Unite 4 Moms Touch Foundation campaign.
The maternal health statistics in sub-Saharan Africa – and in Tanzania in particular – are shocking. On average, 1 woman and 6 infants die each hour from preventable, birth-related complications in Tanzania.
The connection between the lack of healthcare workers and poor maternal health is clear. Risks of mortality for women and their babies are highest at the time of birth. Maternal deaths decrease dramatically if a woman receives access to prenatal care and if a trained health worker is present while a woman gives birth. Sadly, in Tanzania, fewer than 50 percent of women have access to a doctor, nurse or other skilled medical worker during childbirth. The Touch Foundation is working to address this dire shortage of healthcare workers in Tanzania.
Buy your mom a gift and donate to a great cause. From April 15th- June 30th 30% of the sales of these 2 necklaces goes to the Touch Foundation.
