VIE Neck Candy

Have I ever told you I loved my job? Once or twice maybe... a day? Guilty.

(You better check out those links.) One of my favorite things about my lovely job is getting to discover up-and-com-ers. Whether it be fashion-related, music-related, art-related, or basically anything-related, VIE loves to feature those individuals who we just know are going to make it big. Which is what brings me here today: HeavyMetal Jewelry by Lauren Weiner.

The girl has got serious talent for designing one-of-a-kind, eclectic pieces from vintage jewelry. Her pieces are so eye-catching, in fact, that they'd instantly update the simplest of outfits into something super chic. A few of my faves:
