Some of my most favorite bracelets can always be found at Calypso and their latest Summer collection of goodness did not disappoint. When in Phoenix last month, my bestie, goddaughter and I all got friendship bracelets. Or as my goddaughter calls them for short and in code "FB's". Today I mixed my Pave, my Gold wrap, my Love and my Beauty charm. All collected at different times and places. Calypso always being a go-to. Happy Thursday night everyone.
This post is in honor of a little baby girl named Lucy. She was born last Wednesday in Charlotte, has cute little round eyes, brown hair, belongs to my bestest friend Zelle and is absolutely perfect. And yet, completely unexpected. I don't think anyone on this planet thought Zelle would have a girl. But she did and now it's time to celebrate with all things femme ... like diamonds! Or in this case swarovski crystals and precious gem stones will do just fine. So in celebration of sweet Lucy's arrival, embrace your inner girly girl and wear your bling bright, shiny and brilliant. Some of my favorites -- this bangle by Angelique De Paris, the bracelets by Lisa Freede and Alexis Bittar, and rings by Natasha Collis.
From boots to ba da bling! Oh mon dieu, could you die? Check out these vintage bracelets from Decades. Dramatic, unique, perfectly current while not. If you collect jewelry, these are sure to impress. And if you collect fashion, Decades is sure to make you fall out on the floor. Flat out, heart racing, take all my money, on the floor. Actually, they won’t have to take your money -- you’ll be throwing it at them as you grab up every gorgeous goodness this LA vintage couture boutique has to offer. If there is such thing as dying and going to fashion heaven, it’s Decades.
Ok, I know you're thinking "Is this going to be some jewelry blog?". No, it's not. But it just so happens I've had two bouts with jewelry break ups this past week. And that's one "two" many break ups in a week. In addition to my Harlow, I had a bangle go bust on me. This time admittedly my own fault. So I'm going through airport security at a reckless (not record) speed, stripping off the essentials and off flies my favorite aquamarine bangle with gold leaf detail. Landing, cracked, in two, at my feet. I've been truly upset because this piece was vintage. And the thing about vintage is you can never find it again. You know, it's that whole one of a kind thing. But instead of letting my cracked out bangle get me down, I've decided to find a suitable replacement. Though this is no one of a kind, I'll try it. Thank you Kep Design NYC. Note to self, be on time to airport.

My friend gave me this House of Harlow 1960 cuff for Christmas. Though it's from Nicole Richie's collection (who we all know I adore), I questioned the quality. After a few wears, I decided it was fabulous and the things I wore it with made it look three times the price. So we were having a love affair ... until this past week. I was in LA rocking it out with a precious mini bubble skirt and boyfriend v-neck, when it slipped off my wrist. And just like that, there I was ... cuff crisis! So I guess I may have been right about the quality, though it was cuff meets concrete. Did my Harlow really stand a chance? Either way, I'm giving it another chance and now am in line with all the others who have discovered this little gem. That's right, backordered on Kitson. So hurry up and get in line! This cuff is worth the wait.
