Rope Jewelry

Lately I have been noticing all sorts of cool jewelry made out of rope. While rope on it's own would make a somewhat unexceptional piece, pair it with gold or silver, and interesting stones and viola some amazingly unique pieces.

Sabrina Dehoff Rope Bracelet With Gold Crystal Plate - Grey, 174 GBP
silver triangles & blue rope necklace, $129
Rope Belt, $330

Dominic Jones Jewelry

I recently came across this bold line of animalistic jewelry by designer Dominic Jones. I love the predatory aspect to these pieces and yet the gold makes them look chic and glamorous. They would be so fun to wear!

Lizzie Fortunato Jewelry

I went into one of my favorite stores in my Brooklyn neighborhood Stuart and Wright. Where I have never actually bought anything but I go to regularly to ogle all of the eye candy and beautifully crafted items (that I can't afford). Today I found something really spectacular...these beautiful baubles by Lizze Fortunato. I love the tribal details and bohemian vibe of these pieces.

Rose Gold - Perfect for the Summer

I have a recent fixation with rose gold. It is the perfect metallic shade for the summer. It has that soft "sunset" feel to it and makes me long for evening walks on the beach and poolside cocktails.

Shown: Pailenette Mini $420 and Reva Tory Burch Flats $255 MyTheresa.com, Michael Kors Watch $250 and Chan Luu Wrap Bracelet $220 Net-a-Porter, Laura Lee Rose Stud Earrings $115 and Lola Rose Gold Sandstone Semi Precious Ring $235 Asos.com

Jazz Festival in New Orleans Fashion

I am headed to Jazz Fest in New Orleans on Thursday and wanted to share this New Orleans inspired post for my trip. New Orleans is the perfect city to wear a bit of lace and old fashioned jewelry. But walking around all day you need a good pair (and of course stylish shoes). And last but not least some cut-offs and a rock and roll style bag with fringe and a long strap that won't get in the way when you are dancing in the streets.

Shown: Butterfly Lace Frill Hem $65 Topshop, Antik Batik Bongo Bag $320 Net-a-Porter, Gap Destructed jean shorts $25, Narciso Sunglasses - Roberto Cavalli $285 Forzieri.

House of Harlow - Deco Jewelry

I have been following Nicole Richies jewelry line House of Harlow for a while. I think she has a great sense of style and the vintage inspired art deco pieces shown here from her line are great.

Earrings by Plume of The Banquet Brooklyn

I am loving the lavishness and decadence of these earrings by Plume. The gold and diamond cascades remind me of another era one with more style and grace. While the studs can be worn daily adding just the right touch of glamour for any outfit. Available at The Banquet (formerly Council) in Brooklyn.

This Season's Must Have Accessory: A Watch

If you are trying to figure out what must have accessory to invest in this season the perfect thing is these oversized watches. They add a bit of sophistication and heavy metal (bling!) to the most casual or the dressiest of outfits. The bigger the better! Shown here: Swatch Fancy Me Watch at Nordstrom $150 and Michael Kors Gold Midsized Cushion Watch $250 Neiman Marcus.

Metalicious Jewelry

Metalicious Jewelry is the brainchild of Manhattan-based designer Stephanie Maslow-Blackman. Her collection is inspired by the form and sparkle of gemstones, diamonds and precious metals. Each piece is made by hand. I love the stud earrings, they have just the right amount of shimmer and come in a variety of different metals and cuts including an adorable heart shape. Visit Metalicious for more styles.

Beautiful Baubles

The "It" accesory this season is a killer necklace. And not just any simple charm necklace as in seasons past, but a chunky decadent one. The two necklaces below are by designer Sequin and are the perfect winter accent. Available at Intermix $145-$195.

Jewelry by Camilla D'Anunziata

Brazilian jewelry designer Camilla D'Anunziata has developed an amazing fall collection of accessories. From chunky bracelets to bold necklaces and earrings, her designs are sure to make any outfit.

Chunky Necklaces

I am digging these chunky stone necklaces by Nugaard Designs. The yellow one is especially cool although the black one may be more versatile and go with more things. Both are on sale at Retail Happy Hour.

Jules Smith Vampire Necklace

Inspired by the latest vampire craze and amazingly popular book and TV series Twighlight, this necklace by Jules Smith borders on genius. It is such a fun spin on one of my favorite holidays Halloween, and those plastic vampire teeth. I want it. Shown: Edwards Smile Necklace in Yellow Gold $65.

Crocheted Jewelry by Luvasis

I was recently at the Brooklyn Flea Market in Fort Greene. I spotted these great crocheted jewelry pieces by designer Luvasis. I have always been a big fan of crocheted accents on clothing and handbags. I especially like the juxtaposition between the metal and the cloth in this jewelry line.

Casio Retro Watches

I recently spotted these Casio retro Bank Watches. I love the white and gold combination and the checkerboard pattern of the numbers. And the price tag is nice too! $59
