Fur Necklaces or Pearl Necklaces with Barbed Wire
Dana Lorenz is the pretty-punk jewelry designer behind Fenton/Fallon and J.Crew's most recent collaborative jewelry collection. Trained as a painter, she started out creating necklaces for herself and friends, layering strands of pearls and Swarovski crystals with spikes and chains. Her jewelry has since appeared on the necks of a slew of A-listers and celebs (including Michelle Obama herself, last year).

Treehouses: A new style of living, part 3
This time, it's not a house perched on a tree but an airplane !!
If you have fantasies of living like the Swiss Family Robinson or even the characters in Lost, this rainforest resort near Quepos, Costa Rica may be just the ticket. Situated on the edge of the Manuel Antonio National Park, the Costa Verde Resort features an incredible hotel suite set inside a Boeing 727 airplane. In its former life the airplane transported globetrotters on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines, and it now serves as a two bedroom suite perched on the edge of the rainforest overlooking the beach and ocean.
