Sequin Keeps it Real

Never heard of this brand and can’t find a company website. (Google “Sequin jewelry” and you’ll see what I mean.) Loved these bangles from Nordstrom:

Here’s the kicker: you can also buy their stuff from HSN! Way to bring it, Sequin.

What I Bought at the Latest A.V. Max Sample Sale

Leslie — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:55:27 +0000

I didn’t get my act together to post about A.V. Max’s recent sample sale in advance — but here’s what I got!

Everything above was between $5-$15. Insane.

How have you been?

Very Pink, Very Cute Betsey Johnson Bracelet

I tried this one on at Macy’s a few weeks ago. It snaps tightly on its hinge and feels snug around your wrist. And it’s pink!

JCrew Spring Stuff Out Now. Cue the Dancing Sailors!

Leslie — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 16:54:07 +0000

On the one hand, it’s your typical “resort” collection — the one that comes out while there’s still slush on the ground that makes you wonder who the hell can afford to take a trip to Bermuda in late January. (Besides Michael R. Bloomberg.)

On the other hand, how can you argue with how happy, Spring-y, and blue everything is?

Welcome back, nautical theme, old friend!

Cuffs, Cuffs, Cuffs at Banana Republic

Leslie — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 00:33:32 +0000

Most of them prominently feature enamel — which is pretty, and colorful, but somehow is starting to seem slightly 5-minutes-ago.

This one piqued my interest:

Speaking of Forever 21…

Yes, it is like walking into a nightclub. A very well-lit nightclub.

Yes, you will be the only person in there over the age of 25.

But who cares about that when you find an exact replica of this bracelet from your grandmother’s costume jewelry collection? The one she let you wear as a kid?

Suck it up, get on the escalator, and keep your eyes on the prize.

JCrew’s Fall Accessories…S’wonderful!

Like you’re digging in your grandmother’s trousseau, if your grandmother was a foxy yet bookish French brunette. Hello, Funny Face.

JCrew, you’re killing me.

Just noticed the contrasting “raspberry” thread on the above necklace. Yum. Reminds me of this necklace spotted at Ann Taylor Loft earlier in the summer.

If you haven’t seen Funny Face, please do yourself a favor and rent it. It is, as they say, the only movie with the nerve to rhyme Sartre with Montmartre.

Gogo Borgerding’s Cuffs will Blow Your Mind

Gogo Borgerding

I found Gogo’s stuff on B-Native, an online retailer that showcases New Orleans-based artists. You can find cuffs in additional flavors and sizes, as well as some more handcrafted silver jewelry, on her cute site, I Love Gogo Jewelry.

And if you like Gogo’s flower necklaces, you should also check out Prismera Design’s Flora and Folium collection. (Previously blogged.)
