Bear trap, clap.

Amazing silver ring by Eddie Borgo. Wish it came in gold, maybe it did; I will investigate. This also on NAP today.

Suede says...

A genius idea from the talented Suede of Project Runway fame.
He designed amazing patterns for Simplicity with the end user in mind. Included in the pattern pack are three styles; Flirty, Classic and Edgy to fit your mood. Then you take it from there! Select your fabric and give it your own spin. Maybe now I can stop bugging my design-incline friends to make me pieces and can start doing it myself..and remember what Suede says, goes! So just follow these simple instructions and you can "make it work" right in your very own living room.

Today's maddening obsession.

I need to be wearing these with my toes in Mediterranean sand and a glass of prosecco in my hand.
Grab them for your own mystical voyage, or just a roll around the block at YSL.COM

Miss Kara captured my heart..

As you know, I am ALL about making a statement; in my personal, professional and fashionable life. So when I had the opportunity to work with Kara Lederman the designer of Miss Kara jewelry I was blown away by both her own sense of style and her impressive collection.

We hosted a trunk show with Miss Kara at National Jean Co. this weekend and it went outstandingly well. The creator was on hand answering questions and sending out the positive energy that she invests in each and every piece. My favorite staples in her collection are the stack-able beaded bracelets. They feature exotic Buddha heads, crystal and other embossed symbols.
The style that completely stole my heart was the skull stack-able bracelet. It is particularly reminiscent of Mexico's Day of the Dead traditional jewelry, which makes my heart pitter a bit because I am always on the hunt.
It is refreshing to see someone referencing long standing, traditional icons and symbols in a fresh and interesting way.

The brand also features heavy metal headbands, 40 strand layered necklaces and cage-like cuffs. You will never be bored when rocking one of these truly special pieces. She has been featured everywhere from InStyle to Teen Vogue online applications and for good reason. Don’t be shy, pieces from this collection can seamlessly transition season to season but, will certainly bolster your upcoming summer wardrobe.
Go check out her website right now and scoop up yours today!

Feather mohawks..

This is what I would have worn to the Royal Wedding.
Amazing head piece by Dana Estelle.. I am madly in love...I wanna wear it everyday, everywhere even the gym..That is literally how much I love it.

The magic of...

I'm mad over these Mickey Shades from Patricia Field.
Another home run from one of my favorite brands. You shouldn't sleep on these, the price is completely ridiculous and are perfect for hater-blocking out at the club.

I wanted to re-post this list of UES vintage shops I found on Madison Ave. Spy..Half for your enjoyment & half so I can recall them :) A great way to spend a little time before I head into work at Natty.


Michael’s The Consignment Shop for Women
1041 Madison Avenue (between 79th and 80)
Michael’s consistently has a great selection of various designer handbags and shoes that may tempt you during your consignment appointment. While there was a lone olive Chanel Reissue flap and no Birkens to speak of, their online sale site has a YSL white leather Muse for $595, and a black patent classic Chanel for $1500. In store, there is a great selection of rare Hermes Collier de Chien belts. Black and Brown crocodile versions are $2500 each and the regular chestnut leather version is $1500 (the black leather version is available online). Since 30% markdowns begin after merchandise has been there for 30 days, savvy shoppers may want to wait until the beginning of May to score any of these gorgeous belts. While shopping, we couldn't resist a brand new pair of Balmain suede studded gladiator sandals for $125 that retailed for over $1000 new.

La Boutique Resale
1045 Madison Avenue (near 80th)
A few steps away from Michaels, La Boutique’s main store boasts lots of racks of designer clothing, with jackets and boots currently marked down 20%. Some items that caught our attention were a lovely Chanel metallic reissue medium flap bag for $2500, a Stella McCartney pastel plum colored Falabella tote for $575, and classic Hermes H belts for $400 to$450. Lots of Jimmy Choos currently dominate their modest shoe section.

Encore Resale
1132 Madison Avenue (between 84/85th)
For a wider selection of clothing, Encore should definitely be on your re-sale shopping list, especially since their claim to fame as the first consignment store in the US. Encore has a good selection of high end couture and designer items, like a fabulous vintage Lanvin pink and black polka dot dress for $200 and a sheer silk Prada geometric dress for $180.

A Second Chance Designer Resale
1109 Lexington Avenue (between 77-78th)
A stone’s throw away from Madison Avenue is one of the best places to find vintage and contemporary Chanel handbags and accessories in the city. A gently used patent black 226 classic flap will set you back $2700, while a lovely chestnut leather Hermes Evelyn bag is $999. They also have a great selection of Louis Vuitton handbags, and even a number of large red Goyard travel pieces (at about $2999). They do not have a lot of retail space for clothing, so if you are looking to unload a significant amount of your closet, other stores may be a better bet.

Ina
208 East 73rd St (between 2nd and 3rd)
A bit further off the beaten path you can find the Upper East Side outpost of Ina. (They have four other stores downtown). While their Prince Street location is renowned for high end couture, the plethora of designer shoes for smaller footed (6-7.5) fashionistas was remarkable. Gently used Blahniks, Choos, and Louboutins don’t break the bank at just around $150.

Cut outs in all the right places..

Check this guy out, Herve Leger Cutout bandage swimsuit. I love the color but my favorite part is that it shows off the middle of your stomach and not the sides; keeping everything nice and taut looking because, when you're in a bathing-suit every inch counts...It could also double as a bodysuit under a skirt to go from the pool to dinner or with a high waisted pant for a real chic 70's bite.

For more pictures head to NET-A-PORTER.

Peace,love & wide leg's...

In love with Lisa Freede 'Love letters.'

Sandalwood beads, 14k gold filling.. Smells de-lish-ous like a head
shop and is my first new spring piece of jewelry. So I am obvi head
over heels. It was on back order and decided to wait it out, so happy
I did.

Just got these..love.

I have been on THE HUNT for a 70's influenced platform and I decided on these, after a quick rendezvous with a different yet similar Giuseppe Zanotti pair. Fun for summer, with a long maxi skirt and cropped layered tops, an amazing light weight scarf and bangles. Take me to a festival, now.

Chaser-ing a Billy Joel t-shirt...

Chaser is my go-to when I want a really soft, sheer, bad ass t-shirt. I have a growing collection that I am adding to all the time. They have graphic t's with all the greats; Queen,Grateful Dead,Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton...So I go to search for my favorite of all time Mr. Billy Joel, No where to be found! We are talking about the Piano Man for god sake. I am extremely disappointed and dream of the day when I can throw on a Billy Chaser with my fine Park Avenue clothes...Other suggestions that are missing from the Chaser collection to my knowledge, Rod Stewart and Elton John...but seriously, if you haven't dabbled with this brand yet it is time to get started. I HIGHLY recommend it.
