GON 2011 G Jewelry, Mea Bfly, and Dre Lynn Design

At the annual Gathering of Nations Powwow, I always get to catch up with some great artists/fashionarias. Check out these three super fly ndn chicks and their badass earrings!:

She was reppin' a huge selection at GON (see left), and even spotted me some dope black and white earrings featuring the badass artwork of one of my favorite artists, Thomas Marcus (aka Breeze).

Graffiti Inspired Artwork for Your Ears

I recently found out that I will be presenting in April at the Yale conference on Streetwear (which I am very excited about, the organizers sound super amazing), so you'll probably see more posts on here having to do with streetwear and 'low' fashion. Here's a quick one, featuring earrings by the Salt River-based jewelry designer G Jewelry, who has incorporated the artwork of Akimel O'odham street artist Thomas Breeze Marcus:

I own a pair - got them at the great low price of $10 at the Protect Ya Neck art show during the Heard Indian Market in PHX last month. [My friend Brez was like "Jessica! we got earrings to sell you!" I'm a huge sucker for earrings.] But I love them - they are lightweight and comfy and look super fresh with any outfit - from casual to dressy.
