Big necklaces continue to preside over the Spring/Summer 2009 RTW runways and I was just going to put up one necklace I like, but I couldn’t decide between these two - I want them both - so there you are, I included them both.
The lily pad necklace is by Robert Goossens who designed fine […]
As I’m in London, I would like to do justice to a talented English-based designer you may not have heard of (yet). Mawi Keivom designs jewelry inspired by a childhood spent living all over the world. Her necklaces, bracelets and earrings have a vintage, one-of-a-kind feel, yet are eminently wearable and reasonably priced. […]
Two cuffs that I really like and that I wrote about from Vivre are now 20% off. The croco Cavalli cuff was $450 and is now $360, while the cutout cuff by Herve van der Straeten was $280 and is now $224. Plus, through Monday June 23, there’s […]

It is not something tinny, but quite substantial because it is made of gold-plated brass. Not only is it something luxurious at the un-luxurious […]
While in LA, I spent an afternoon at the Getty Villa which is one of my favorite places on earth. Perched on a hill overlooking the Pacific, it was commissioned by oil tycoon J. Paul Getty to house his vast collection of ancient Greek, Roman and Etruscan art and artifacts. There are two […]
The graphic nature of this satin blouse and its clean lines make it stand out. In addition to the striking pattern of the wool embroidery, I really like the v-neck with its tasseled ties and radiating pleats. It has a slip-on ease and […]
