I think the jewelry is cute. My personal taste would not include any of it, but it is perfect for adding a pop of color to some otherwise monotone outfits. “X” the headband, unless you are twelve or are actually part of a tribe. Otherwise, go for it!

Alrighty then…so nobody went and looked the gal up. She’s actually 1/2 American Indian and her stuff is made in the US or India. The bead stuff is way different than her “real” work and I suspect actually is deadstock from a 70′s or 80′s Indian souvenir shop(made in US). I too made a loomed headband…it took along time and didn’t look very good. I like the bracelet,it’s cute.Beads are back, why not enjoy them before we hate them again.haha.

I was just thinking that it would be nice to have Aboriginal influenced fashion. You don't see enough of it and I think it would be really nice to see, especially since I live in Canada. http://amandasfashionspot.blogspot.com

For sure i think the bracelet is cute, you could definitely mix it up with some other bracelets to make it look less “crafty”…

I think it all looks cheap. Kids make that is pre-school.
If you are wearing that I hope it is because your kid made it!

I owned a bracelet just like that. I was five. I’m with #7 on this one. Seems like New York adults have a penchant for things that were cool for non-New York primary school kids. I don’t get it. I mean, is this for real, or would you be wearing it to be funny?

Seriously? What person in their right mind would dropp $44 on a headband that looks like I made it at summer camp? I mean really.

The bracelet’s alright . . . but seriously, if you’re going to do it, go authentic.

None of that stuff is authentic and it costs more than my Kokum’s hand done bead work.

Major yes to the bracelet, no thanks to everything else. What makes the bracelet is the white binding.

See…this is my constant dilemma. I am Pakistani-American, with olive skin, oval face, dark, stick straight hair, and dark eyes…and when I wear this stuff, honestly, it looks like I’m dressed up for thanksgiving.
But…more power to anyone else that wants to rock it.
