Josef reminds you to be patient

This week I road tested a necklace we have in the shop on two different days. It's the "it will happen wait for it" coin necklace by Alisa Michelle ($50). On the first day, I wore it with a heather gray and white horizontal stripe t-shirt tucked into a navy high-waisted tulip skirt and brown gladiator flat sandals. On the second day, my outfit consisted of a navy Paul & Joe Sister t-shirt with an attached black silk vest, dark skinnies and my brown suede fringe flat ankle boots. The necklace complemented both outfits quite nicely, so nicely in fact I'm a little obssessed with it now. It's is made from a vintage silver coin with a 16" sterling silver chain. The coin's diameter is almost 1 and 1/8 inches long. Once you put it on, I'm sure you won't want to take it off either!

Have a great weekend.

The jewelry at Josef

Since opening the shop, the clothes have been getting all the attention, however, there are a few select pieces of jewelry at Josef. There is only one of each jewelry item, so you'll be one-of-a-kind here in San Mateo if you get your hands on one. The designer, Alisa Taxe of Alisa Michelle, has been designing jewelry for 20 years. The coin necklace concept was inspired by her recent trip to Europe. Each necklace has a meaningful phrase, quote or story behind it. It is intended that the wearer apply the meaning to their daily life as a reminder of what they believe in. The coin necklace featured in the picture has a gold filled chain and says "i am green" ($52).
