...stella & dot! I've had a great time designing with the talented creative team at stella & dot for awhile now. And am happy to show off the Fall Lookbook, full of gorgeous jewelry that takes a fresh spin on vintage styles and offers a bold look to feminine pieces. Whether it's an amazing statement necklace or a more delicate look, you can find it all. Shop at stelladot.com.
The delicate vintage stylings of pequitobun's jewelry collection makes me so happy. Everything has a special quality that feels like it tells a great story. I especially love the antique keys integrated with chains & baubles plus photo styling with the bunny, there's nothing better.
As the party season starts to get underway, you may be wondering what "wow" fashion item you have to accent the evening with. The answer is this, the "Birthday Girl" necklace made of raw-cut silk charmeuse and a feather, will make the grand statement. Each gorgeous handmade necklace is from designer Joanna Baum of Sir boutique. I have the great fortune of being friends with the lovely and talented Ms. Baum. She's constantly coming up with something new, fresh & inspiring. I only wish I could pop by her Brooklyn boutiques anytime I wanted, to get dressed up in Sir, and then head out to a party! photo via the shop tart.
I am crazy in love with Paraphernalia, handmade delightful accessories made by Ms. Vanda out of Lisbon, Portugal. Her vintage design styling and treatment on necklaces, brooches & bracelets creates amazing adornments. It seems anything you could possibly want on a necklace is there for you... a heart, a typewriter, Victorian clothing, etc. See all of the sweetly intricate collections here.
The highly anticipated Gossip Girl inspired Anna Sui for Target line landed in stores today (tricky since the launch date is Sept. 13th). So, I zipped over to Target early and was relieved to find the full collection there and intact. It was definitely a crowded spot amongst the other clothing brands but still pretty civil with no elbows out (yet)! I suspect that by Sunday, there will be little remaining on the racks. I was not disappointed in the styles, but some of the fabrics felt too rough or the cut was ill-fitting. By far, my favorite piece was the ivory lace dress, which was also the one that came home with me. A close second was the blue belted shirt-dress. It was comfortable and had a cute shape, but I only allowed myself one look. Wasn't that thoughtful to leave some for everyone else?
I am hopelessly devoted to objects with cutouts or things that feature lace. These two companies have me hooked on their glorious use of material & form. First, Fenton Jewelry's collection combines the delicacy of lace and strong metals to create a unique ornamental piece of perfection. And second, Lightly's set of tabletop, home and wall products apply those same ideas, which utilize lace & crochet patterns, while molding a soft appearance out of hard matter.
