We all know those old Will Smith lyrics that have become a mantra come mid-June every year: “Summer, summer, summertime/ Time to sit back and unwind.” Now that we’ve hit the June 21st mark, we’re officially in the summer season. Whether or not it actually feels like summer is open to debate. However, despite the recent inundation of rainfall that left New Yorkers wondering when they’d been picked up and dropped in Seattle, we’ve begun catching glimpses of elusive sunshine and summer heat. Why, in no time at all, we’ll all be skipping out of the office a little early (shh!) to get a head-start on weekend beach getaways. Naturally, shore-side festivities present the perfect opportunity to flaunt some especially whimsical [...] Read more

What’s Hot: Chunky Necklaces
As the mercury rises and we begin showing more and more skin, something quite the contrary is going on in the world of accessories. Whereas sleeves are coming off and inseams are shortening, jewelry is being layered on for eye-catching looks full of chunky metals and large jewels are taking over. This significant jewelry is tough and rugged enough to be worn by girls with tomboy tendencies like Jessica Biel, but also pretty enough for the likes of supermodels like Heidi Klum. Because these pieces are, in fact, so visually hefty on their own, not much other jewelry is needed to complete your look. Adding anything more to the look than a pair of stud earrings or a small bangle or [...] Read more
What’s Your SATC Style?
We know that the show has been off the air for 5 years, the first movie came out a year ago, and the second movie is still another year away, but we need our Sex and the City fix now! Over the past 11 years (can you believe this whole phenomenon started that long ago?), the ladies of Sex and the City have influenced our relationships, our attitudes, and our fashion choices. We love that these four women exhibit such distinct personality traits that every single one of us can relate to at least one of them. If you’re a Charlotte… Charlotte York Goldenblatt (formerly MacDougal) is the eternal romantic. From the get-go, she was the girl in the quartet who [...] Read more
Leatherheads
Leather’s not just for jackets, boots, and purses anymore. Various designers have been incorporating leather into more and more of their jewelry pieces. It has broken away from being simply for bearded bikers, and has been transformed into a material that is pretty enough for even the most feminine of accessories. In addition to all of the gorgeous Vita Fede bracelets mentioned in our last blog, leather is being used in the making of necklaces, rings, and even earrings! From gemmed pieces that are simply suspended on a leather cord, like Nugaard Designs Long Leather and Gem Cluster Necklace, to those made almost entirely of leather, there are pieces to fit every taste. One of the things we like about leather [...] Read more
Viva la Vita Fede
Layers of bracelets are a staple in jewelry trends right now: the more the better. Whether you are pairing a few beaded bracelets or bangles, you need lots and lots of volume. We’ve spotted Vita Fede bracelets all over the red carpet lately. Celebs like Katy Perry, Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus and Eva Longoria Parker are all fans of the bracelets, cuffs and bangles. If you are a Gossip Girl fan, you might have noticed the brown Vita Misto bracelet Blair Waldorf wore during the “Remains of J” episode, I know, we gushed over it too! The brown leather band and six brown and clear crystals are to die for. The Hills star Lo Bosworth tweeted about the Vita bracelet she [...] Read more
