A Few of My Favorite Things (While Staying at Home): Studebaker Metals

It’s difficult to pinpoint the time that I first learned about Studebaker Metals, but husband and wife duo Alyssa Catalano and Michael Studebaker have gradually grown their jewelry brand from necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings to expanded categories like belts, tie bars, money clips, key chains, and more. Considered a traditional metalsmith workshop, all products are hand-forged in Braddock, PA, individually-made and thoughtfully designed to include the highest quality of materials, which range from brass to sterling silver to yellow, rose, or white gold in 14 or 18 karat options. The simple yet signature styles of the cuffs in particular is what originally drew me toward the brand, but the support of the local community and staying true to the values of a small company is what keeps me buying more (and more, and more) pieces. Check out Studebaker Metals online which, by the way, has some wonderful ideas for memorable Father’s Day gifts… 🙂

A Walk Down Memory Lane

The weekend is over, the weather is frigid, but I’m going to try to just keep on smiling through it all. Having two vacations booked in March is certainly an impetus to grin and bare the blustery, unreasonable precipitation and temps, but also was taking a walk down memory lane this weekend. When I was in college, I spent most of my time living in Nolita, a dream come true for this Pittsburgher to be surrounded by Little Italy and all things cool in Soho and the Lower East Side enveloping her. Fashion Pulse Hubby and I revisited the spot where I used to live when we first started dating, and although a few things in the neighborhood remain the same, many of them have changed since 2002.

We ventured across the street and took these photos in front of a building that used to be a police precinct turned into luxury apartments, where Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford were rumored to have lived in the 1990s. It always looked so solemn and idyllic to me, and the ivy-wrought iron gates pop against the slushy urban landscape. I logged 16,000 steps that day on my Fitbit, so warmth and comfort were key to comprising my look. A roomy bag with strap lengths long enough to sit on my ultra padded shoulders was a must, along with jewelry that can peek out from amongst the layers, cold weather accessories, practical shoes, and my “double bubble,” a combination of a bubble vest with a bubble coat, ensure premium warmth.
