  • Arm Candy: Vintage Rhinestone Bracelet
    Fed up with big bold cocktail rings, I’ve recently developed an obsession with big bold bracelets. Last week, while sifting through the numerous press releases in my inbox I came across an email about Carole Tanenbaum and her gorgeous collection of vintage jewels. During her 25 years of buying one of a kind pieces, Tanenbaum has amassed a collection of over 15,000...

  • Introducing: Dirty Librarian Chains
    The name, Dirty Librarian Chains, is completely hilarious and memorable; their designs are unforgettable too.

  • 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
