    I think we all know that feeling when we're sitting there on the toilet, minding our own beeswax, taking a well-deserved whizz, when Omigawd! My $22,000 engagement ring is in the can!! Okay, most of us probably don't know that feeling, because most of us have never laid eyes on a $22,000 ring unless we were pretend-shopping at Tiffany. But that's what happened to one woman in Hampton, Virginia. And yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, because the woman got very, very lucky.

    In what many would call a happy accident, a lucky group of customers wound up buying a $1,500 sterling silver and 14-karat necklace for $47, thanks to a Macy's catalog typo. The necklace, which was marked as a "Super Buy", was actually on sale, but there was supposed to be a "9" after the "47", making the necklace nearly $500, not under $50. For those who got the jewelry at the crazy discounted price, congrats. You, 1, Macy's 0. But for the copywriter who missed the typo -- well, this is awkward, isn't it? (He or she has since been fired.)

    Time to revamp your wardrobe, party people, because spring is almost here! The new season not only affords us a chance to step outside without hating life, but also an opportunity for a fashion renewal. If you've been hiding under a parka all winter long, it's time to show the world what they've been missing. And really, there's no better way to say, I'm here and I'm awesome than with some killer, on-trend jewelry. 

    What I like most about accessories is that they can be found for pretty cheap. Whether you're shopping flea markets or department store bargain bins or your mom's bauble box, look for these 5 hot jewelry trends that'll make you look effortlessly chic this season.

    I'm just going to come right out and say it -- Amanda Bynes' new facial piercing is freaky. She tweeted a picture of it this week, and it makes me wince just to look at it.

    Maybe it's some sort of a fake or something for a movie deal (fingers crossed), but if she really put a hole in her face then, first -- ouch! And second -- why?

    Tattoos, body piercings, shaved heads, what have you, I typically figure to each his or her own when it comes to personal expression (and silently pray my children NEVER consider any of them). But this -- for her -- feels like yet another cry for help.

    Earlier this morning, I came across a discussion over the argument of whether or not to pierce a baby's ears. A disgruntled reader wrote to the Dear Mary Ann column at the Pittsburgh Post Gazette voicing her opinion on the issue -- she thinks it's borderline child abuse.

    And you know what? I think I have to agree with her on this one. Because piercing a baby girl's ears not only seems mean and cruel to me -- it also just seems so vain and unnecessary.

    Here you have this perfect little angel who is sugar and spice and everything nice -- and you want to go pierce two tiny holes through her earlobes and cause her pain simply because you think she'll look cute in a pair of heart-shaped studs?

    If you're still wondering whether Kristen Stewart is legitimately in love with Robert Pattinson (and their relationship hasn't only been a really involved Twilight publicity stunt), look no further than this clear-as-day proof! In a new interview with Elle UK, KStew answered a question about her most prized possessions. Turns out, the items that are "insanely and deeply" important to her seem to have a lot to do with Rob. 

    She said, “I have all the rings that I wore as Bella in Twilight, including her wedding ring. My other treasured pieces are mainly vintage and a Cartier ‘Nail’ bracelet that I wear a lot." She went on to explain that she usually takes "one or two things from each film as a souvenir," because "it's fun to put that stuff on; it reminds you of good times." Uh huh!

    If you were at all curious about what exactly convinced her to give things another shot with Hugh Hefner, then Crystal Harris' massive engagement ring should clear things up a bit.

    Everyone was shocked when Hugh announced he'd put a ring on it for the second time, and judging from the size of this thing, it's pretty obvious that he wanted to give Crystal a piece of bling that would get her to the altar this time around.

    I'm not exactly sure what possessed me last week, but I decided that I wanted to get my tragus pierced (the part of your ear closest to your cheek). I have a bunch of tattoos and I've had my ear lobes and belly button pierced, so I thought I was pretty familiar with the process.

    But after watching a bunch of tragus-piercing videos on YouTube, I started to get a little nervous. Lucky for me, I had a great experience, and it's healing up fine.

    So if you've wanted to get your own tragus or other unusual body part pierced -- or think you might in the future -- I've got all the gory (or really, not so gory) details for you ...
