Blair Waldorf in Swarovski Maniac Necklace

Leighton Meester is a walking train-wreck when it comes to her fashion choices in real life, but her Blair Waldorf “Gossip Girl” character, aside from Lily van der Woodsen, is my favorite – not that the competition is too stiff with Blake’s oft-too-sexy dresses, Jenny’s gothic mess of a style, and Vanessa’s boho boring-ness. That … Continue reading “Blair Waldorf in Swarovski Maniac Necklace”

I used to shop there all the time for hidden gems, now they stock mostly Bendel-branded stuff, over-priced designer merchandise (I’m talking the same Chanel sunglasses that you’ll find at Bergdorf Goodman, but with a mark-up), and cheap-o or … Continue reading “Tom Binns Utensil Necklaces”

Oscar de la Renta Multi-Strand Flower Necklace

I’m that girl who mixes skulls with flowers and Hello Kitty with Comme des Garcons, I love the juxtaposition of hard core and feminine – major hardware with flowers with pretty pedals.  But this isn’t all nice nice and Sanrio, the front daisy with the 3 differing pedals give it a little edge.  It draws … Continue reading “Oscar de la Renta Multi-Strand Flower Necklace”
