Erickson Beamon Mirror Gem Earrings


I consider myself an old school kinda gal. I love the etiquette, fashion and mannerisms of our past. Let’s face it, everything was so elegant and sophisticated back then. I’m in love with Frank Sinatra and Audrey Hepburn is one of my idols. The fashion of our time has changed greatly but thankfully there are still some designers out there that give us vintage inspired pieces. Some people despise reproductions but I love them. If I can’t find a certain fashion piece from the 60′s or 70′s that I really want and it was remade, you better believe that I will buy it. There is nothing wrong with fashion that is made to look old, in fact I love when designers do that!

House of Harlow Coin Headpiece


I’m a firm believer in the “evil eye” bracelets and I recently just bought two. However, I’m craving to find one as a headpiece. I think it would look really pretty having the crystal eye on our forehead that’s attached to a gorgeous chain that falls perfectly from our heads. As of right now, I can’t find one but I found a headpiece that’s just as pretty! The House of Harlow Coin Headpiece is drop dead gorgeous and I think I need one!

Alexander McQueen Safety Pin Necklace


About two years ago I had an obsession with zippers and safety pins. Anything that was fashion related and featured either one of the metal accessories I wanted it. I had even bought a pair of Michael Kors black patent wedges that had a zipper on the back of them and two pairs of safety pin earrings. I’m not too fond of the trends now but every now and then something strikes my eye that features one of the two.

Marc Jacobs “Zip It” Earrings


Marc Jacobs always pulls me in with his accessories. Don’t get me wrong, I like his handbags but I love his accessories. He always designs weird and quirky things we don’t see very often. Right now, I’m loving his “Zip It” Pull Draped Earrings. They’re stylish, fun and definitely unique.

I have an obsession with anything with a zipper. I don’t know why but I love it. At the moment, I have bags, shoe, jewelry and even clothes that feature zippers. It’s always been something that catches my eye.

What I love about the “Zip It” Earrings is that they literally look like they are draped around your ears! I would personally wear these earrings in the evening especially if I’m wearing something on the edgy side. Obviously these wouldn’t look good paired up with a bright outfit but if you are sporting something black and fierce, rock these babies out!

Fun, edgy and all at a good price! I think I need these!

You can purchase the Marc by Marc Jacobs “Zip It” at Shop Bop for $58.

Juicy Couture Cherry Earrings


I love cherries. Whether it be the actual fruit or featured on fashionable accessories, I love them! I once heard a random lady say, “Cherries have the best outfit out of all of the fruits”, and I couldn’t agree more! They’re pretty, cute and quite delicious too!

The Juicy Couture Cherry Earrings are absolutely adorable and literally look like you have a couple of cherries hanging from your ears. They’re stunning but I think they would of looked a lot cuter if Juicy Couture had the stem in green crystals and the cherries in red crystals! Wouldn’t it be fun if they made them look slightly real?

I personally think I would wear these earrings during the evening. They have quite a bit of “bling” to them which would shine and look better at night. Would be cute to slip these on for a date or a night out on the town with the girls.

Overall, the “Cherry” drops are unique and worth every penny! I love them!

Monserat De Lucca Music Necklace


One thing everyone in the world loves is music. I know I can’t live without it and I’m always jamming to my favorite tunes every single day. iPod’s and iPhone’s have made it easier to take our favorite songs everywhere with us. I still remember the days when CD’s and cassette’s were popular. CD’s and cassette’s maybe old school but it’s always fun to pay homage to them with fashion.

The Monserat De Lucca “Cassette & Headphones” necklace is not only cute but reminds us of how much technology has changed over the years. I personally love old school fashion and I would totally wear this necklace. I love how they included headphones in this necklace. If you think about it, ever since iPod’s came out everyone uses the more simpler, easy to carry around headphones. If you see someone sporting regular style headphones, that’s rare!

Overall, it’s a cute necklace that is priced reasonably! I’m a fan!

Yves Saint Laurent Arty Cuff


So what if Fall is just around the corner! Nothing makes me smile more than visions of the beach! So, I thought, why not bring the beach to me? I saw this Yves Saint Laurent Large Arty Ovale Cuff today and I thought I might do just that! But this cuff is more “under the sea” than “at the beach”. Check it out! I love the look of coral layered over a textured background. The wavy lines remind me of moving water or ridges in the sand. The piece is accented with a blue glass embellishment that resembles sea glass. The color is so deep and the gold leaf sprinkled throughout is simply gorgeous. The look and feel of this cuff is so raw, yet enchanting at the same time. It’s a magical piece that is sure to compliment just about any look, even as summer continues to fade away.
