I often find myself overlooking jewelry as a shopping choice. I look at it, quite a bit, but when it comes to actually purchasing something, the instances are few and far between. Most of the jewelry I own I have received as a gift (although there are a few exceptions where I have treated myself!). I think that this may change since I discovered Helen Ficalora.

Trend Alert: Initial Jewelry
I grew up in Connecticut and went to prep school, and went to University at a small place in New England. I offer up this information because I’m kind of a preppy girl. Not super preppy, but I loves me some J. Crew, and I have a minor addiction to anything monogrammed with my initials.
I try not to go overboard, but I’m loving the fact that wearing your initials, especially in jewelry form, is becoming such a fashion statement.

Introducing: Dirty Librarian Chains
The name, Dirty Librarian Chains, is completely hilarious and memorable; their designs are unforgettable too. Designer Susan Domelsmith started the line by creating pieces for herself from repurposed vintage jewelry, but boutiques soon began to take notice and she launched a full collection that is now recognized worldwide.
Some pieces exude simple elegance, like this “Recall” necklace, while others are an edgy tangle of chains and charms like this “Tracings” necklace.
My favourite is the “Call Number” necklace; it’s definitely a statement piece and a great way to add an edge to an otherwise simple outfit. View the full collection at Dirty Librarians. To purchase visit www.tobi.com.

For a good cause: Margherita Missoni charity bracelet
Having seen countless photos of Margherita Missoni gallavanting around town of late, it’s nice to read a little more about her. Even better, it’s good to see her continue her design lineage with this pretty rose gold, silk and diamond bracelet which she has designed with jewelry designer Ileana Makri.

Accessories: Seeing Stars!
Everyone has been declaiming that stars are in! I have been a big fan of stars for awhile (to the point that I have several tattoos of them, but that is another story), but now that Kate, Mary-Kate, and, um, Paris (we didn’t say that they would ALL be pulled off with class) are wearing them, they are one of the trends du jour.
