this just in: BILITIS

We've got a special new line in today at Badjoan.com called Bilits...

Bilitis was a French jewelry and accessories line from the late 1980's. Each piece is a whimsical piece of art and different from anything you've ever seen!

These items were manufactured in France and sold all over Europe and the United States; including the famous Cadeaux store in Paris!

Now Badjoan.com has the EXCLUSIVE on all the remaining deadstock from this line. These items are vintage but have never been previously owned or worn.

Bad Joan herself just couldn't wait for the pieces to go on sale and has already added a few pieces to her personal collection.  Maybe you remember them from these recent blog posts...


Coin and Pearl Bracelet by Bilitis - Retail $86 / Sale $32




Sun and Sea Charm Bracelet by Bilitis - Retail $82 / Sale $29


Make your own unique fashion statement with a piece of jewelry that you can't find anywhere else!

Happy shopping!

Bad Joan goes to Fonuts

As you've probably already guessed, Bad Joan has a major sweet tooth.  So naturally she was very excited when Fonuts opened up down the street from her office!  What's a Fonut you ask?  It's a baked donut.  Plus, they are made with fresh ingredients (like real fruit), they do not use any white flour, and many flavors are gluten free and vegan!  Bad Joan has tried almost every flavor and they are all delicious.  They even have creative flavors like Rosemary Olive Oil and Chorizo Cheddar.  Move over cupcakes, here come Fonuts!

Check out Bad Joan's latest trip to Fonuts....


When she arrived, Bad Joan got a chance to chat with the owners Nancy and Waylynn (her godfather was Waylon Jennings!).  These gorgeous ladies were old friends when they decided to go into business together.  Waylynn has been a pastry chef for years while Nancy is an avid baker on a personal level ...

... after chatting with these lovely ladies and hearing their story, Bad Joan's mouth was watering and she had to decide which flavor to order ...

... After some debate, Bad Joan decided on Lemon.  Then she hurried outside so she could sit down and enjoy her treat ...

... she savored every bite ...

... and when the fun was over she grabbed her bag and headed to work ...

The verdict: Bad Joan is nuts for Fonuts!

What Bad Joan is wearing:
-Fingerprint T-Shirt by Jenny B - Retail $45 / Sale $19
-Arcadia Suede Bag by Lesa Wallace - Retail $225 / Sale $115
-Jewelry by Bilitis - VINTAGE DEAD STOCK COMING EXCLUSIVELY TO BADJOAN.COM IN 2 WEEKS
