Jewelry designer we love, Melody Ehsani, teamed up with another funky designer we love, Jeremy Scott, for the Melody Ehsani x Jeremy Scott Arab Spring 2013 collection. Her jewelry, as usual, is full of standout statement pieces, but even more so in this line, with elements of Ehsani and Scott‘s bold and ‘in-your-face’ design styles incorporated throughout. The collection pays homage to Ehsani’s Persian roots, with Arabic lettering atop pieces like bamboo earrings and three finger rings. The collection already has celebrity fans – A$AP Rocky was snapped posing with...  Read More..

We can’t resist a good arm candy party, especially when the bracelet stack includes one of these part-pretty, part-edgy bracelets. Vita Fede first came on the scene years ago with its popular ‘Lagina’ leather bracelet, with the large Balenciaga bag-style gold and silver hardware. That was our first love from the brand – now we’re crushing on their Titan Bracelets. Italian-made, these delicate hinged cuffs feature a small spike at either end, and look so sleek in hues of silver, gold and rose gold. We dare you to pick just one! Buy a few and stack ‘em all!

One of my favorite times of year is New York Fashion Week, which comes around every February and September. I love attending Fall fashion week (happening now) to see what’s haute in Fall fashion, but hate that there’s always some crazy snowstorm that hits New York every year during this time! But, the true test of a fashionista is looking stylish no matter the weather. Thanks to lia sophia, who sent me some lovely jewelry pieces from their Spring 2013 collection just in time for fashion week, I was able to add some glitz and glam to my look while out braving the blizzard, ‘Nemo’! I’ve...  Read More..

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. My new source for discovering haute designers is Instagram! With everyone showcasing their personal style and inspiration pics on the social network, it’s the quickest way for me to discover new products and their designers. One of my latest finds is jewelry/accessory line, TNEMNRODA. Pronounced ‘nem-row-da’, the line is the brainchild of designer Samantha Smikle. She describes the inspiration for the brand as “representing depth and straight gaudiness” and she captures “inspiration from images of Egypt to Kelis...  Read More..

Sex and the City pretty much ushered in the era of creative cocktailing (Cosmopolitans, anyone?) and now that it’s over, fashionistas must find another stylish way to get there drink on.

Ad it’s exactly what you think it is from the name – a chunky chrome silver bangle bracelet that doubles as a flask. It has a screw cap with a chain attached, and everything. So you can drink stylishly – and on the sly. Would you wear one?...  Read More..

Some days are fine jewelry kinda days; others are more costume jewelry. And when you want both, there’s the new Gemetrica Collection, by Summerized jewelry.

When we first heard that Anna Dello Russo would be designing an ‘over-the-top accessories collection‘ for H&M, we immediately thought, “Well, this is absolutely worth lining up for. Just tell us when and where and we’ll be there, credit cards ready!” The past few H&M collaborations have had us salivating but unfortunately we missed out on Marni, skipped Versace and only snagged a few accessories from Lanvin. But this one is a can’t-miss, won’t-miss (using our Diddy voice). Anna Dello Russo is known for her over-the-top style and personality, so...  Read More..

Rihanna’s been rockin’ the denim-on-denim trend a bit lately.
