When it comes to Rock’n'Roll inspiration, you just can’t beat Guns N’ Roses. I’ve always been a leather whore, so their mix of leather with torn denim vests, bandanas, goth top hats, fringes (!!!), long straight hair, heavy metal #armparties, sunglasses at night and rocker tees really gets me off. Jodie and I saw them rock out last week with the #babysittersclub (which consists of @rachellehruska, @simko, @carsongriffith, @sarahkunst, @jodie_snyder, @danielleasnyder @mfawbush <–follow us for a good time). They may be older but they sound just as good, and they’re still Rockstars. We took some bootleg video for your enjoyment in case you missed it. I’m not including the video in this post because, well you’ll get it later. I did, however, include an old school music video of the crew which you should watch.
Simko just couldn’t get enough GN’R
How legendary is this music video?

We <3 Taylor Swift. We <3 her even more in the DANNIJO Caprina necklace, as seen in her COVERGIRL commercial.
Thank you all for supporting our philanthropic collaboration with Indego Africa, a partnership aimed at empowering and employing the women of Rwanda. With each dannijo.com order, we send you a jewelry pouch crafted by female artisans of Rwanda. While we love seeing how you wear and style your DANNIJO jewels, we couldn’t get enough of how one DANNIJO customer (@hillzy) styled her jewelry pouch. Check out her new Kindle cover.
We love this NYFW street style shot of Chiara Ferragni from the Blonde Salad wearing the Medine necklace.
Nikki Reed rocks the Drew necklace at New York Fashion Week. Get her look.
We couldn’t think of a better Valentine’s Day gift to give you than a Love Mix. So we asked some of our friends who know a thing or two about music to share their favorite Love Song.

Watch the #LOVEFEST at Racked
We had an action packed weekend. Wanted to share the fun with you…
1. @WhiteGrlProblem paid us a visit. And Babe Walker is actually really chic and even bitchier in person. Apparently, she hasn’t farted since like 1990. #weirdbuttrue
2. The ManRepeller likes boys, and one actually L O V E S her. She’s engaged and she looked like a fox at the engagement party in a swanky white swan Marchesa number. #Abeface
3. BlogLovin is the place to be. For Bloggers. I watched my girl take home gold, as Blogger of the Year. Leandra, how Natalie Portman of you to get engaged and take home The Award in the same year. Kudos Le.
(Picture below L to R: Rumi Neely, Bryanboy, Danielle Snyder, ManRepeller)
4. We lost the great Whitney Houston. Whitney, you’ll be sorely missed. No song compares to “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” (photo credit below: taken from ?uestlove‘s facebook wall which actually isn’t an accurate credit, but whatever)
5. The Grammys were just OK, but Chris Martin’s “Paradise” graffiti laden performance was THE TITS (and so is Rihanna‘s body). We love him so hard over here at DANNIJO. #nowplaying #ShitFashionGirlsSay
Love you guys, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY. Will you be mine? – Danielle
These last few months have been action packed over here at DANNIJO. I went ‘on tour’ with my pal Leandra of ManRepeller fame wherein we popped by Miami and the City of Angels. All things considered it was a productive trip, we launched UMBILICAL, our girl band consisting of me and Leandra. Our hit single, Labiaplasty is top in every major chart that matters to anyone who matters, so ya know, things are good.
After ‘the tour’ Jodie and I went to Summit Series in Tahoe and got to hang out with some of the most interesting people on the planet. Our new favorite Summit friends (for SEO purposes of course) include Diplo, A-Trak, Jose Gonzales, Aloe Blacc, Jon Batiste and Marquese Scott. See we met cool people because cool attracts cool and DANNIJO is cool. No big deal. And, yes for those of you wondering Questlove and ELEW were there too and we still love them just as much.
So I made a late night video for you of Aloe Blacc + Jon Batiste getting down and dirty for a late-night impromptu performance AT A SPEAKEASY. I think it’s rad. Enjoy and stay tuned for more goods from our lives…

Danni + Jo share what inspires them about New York in Tory Burch’s latest Tastemakers series.
Sometimes, it’s just about the Jacinda Ring.
What a game. 1) We loved seeing Nicki Minaj rock the DANNIJO Naomi collar at the Super Bowl Halftime show. 2) GO GIANTS!!!!
NBC New York took a deep dive into Danielle and Jodie’s purses. Here’s that they found:
Danielle’s purse:
1. I love these John Lennon frames and that they’re polarized.
2. I always have matches from the last restaurant I ate at and loved. I end up going to Fedora way too much. It’s such a cozy weeknight hangout!
3. Burt’s Bees lip balm.
4. Nars’ ‘Dragon Girl’ is the best lipstick hands down — the boys love this color. I stole it from my Mom! She’s so darn chic.
5. “TopShop ‘Beguiled’ and a Giorgio Armani berry stain. You can never have enough rouge in your purse.
6. I do the social media for DANNIJO, so I’m always on my iPhone posting on Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare.
7. Arm party options
8. Chanel eyeliner
9. Shu Uemura’s eyelash curler is the ultimate femme fatale weapon.
10. Business cards
11. I hate heavy wallets so this mini stingray wallet is perfect for me. I keep my mom’s high school photo in it for good luck.
12. Jacinda ring.
Jodie’s purse:
1. I love my Dannijo iPhone case.
2. I always find change at the bottom of the purse.
3. This set of keys opens the doors to my life: my home and office.
4. Armani mascara and eyelash curler.
5. I always carry a few lipsticks with me. Curling my eyelashes and a touch of color on my lips helps me feel alive at the end of the day. This is my favorite Chanel red lipstick.
6. I always have a camera on me. I love taking pictures.
7. My favorite sunglasses, and I never leave home without them.
8. I always have jewelry floating around my bag. I like to have jewelry to add on at anytime.
9. I collect matches from restaurants so always have a few in my bag.
10. I keep all the essentials in my Dannijo stingray wallet, and a sweet note my boyfriend wrote me.
