hello, lovelies

Some days I dream I have a rich lover who showers me with gifts "just because". In the off chance my husband wins the lottery in the near future - honey, I want these.

wild wild jewelry

The renewed hype over Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are is touching everyone these days. Whether you read it for the first time twenty, thirty, or forty years ago, the story - and the characters - were unforgettable.

How fitting it is those illustrations and characters would inspire a limited-edition jewelry line by one of my favorite designers, Pamela Love. Her designs are characteristically dark, edgy, and a little scary - perhaps the perfect mix of young Max's wild imagination, and Ms. Love's talent.

i'll take it

Just a small price to pay to be viewed as a professional in your line of work. If you're carrying a laptop and six pounds of raw metal everywhere you go - at least do it in style.

boy oh boy

Piles of menswear-inspired oxfords and lace-up shoes are flooding stores this Fall. There are plenty of heel heights to choose from, and the fabric options are endless. The question then becomes, "What do I wear these shoes with?".

Personally, I love a pair of heeled-oxfords with a white shirt, pencil skirt, and layers of pearl and chain necklaces. For a casually elegant vibe, I'd pair the spectator flats with a cardigan and rolled-up boyfriend jeans.

ring thing

If you're in the market for a ring these days, may I suggest you give Barney's a try? Never one to disappoint, Barney's stocks about twenty rings that would fit nicely into my accessories repetoire. Unfortunately, I would need to trade in the family car to get the one I want by Sevan Bicakci, the Turkish designer behind Sevan.
