Shopping: Jeweled Neckpieces
feature · September 23, 2009 · 2 Comments
Oversized and bejeweled, fall's new neckpieces are distinct, statement-making accessories we must own now. They add a touch of unexpected glamour to a simple white tee shirt and will instantly refresh last season's favorite cocktail dress. Our picks for best of the bunch? Tory Burch's Egyptian-inspired collar, Ranjana Khan's beaded bibs, Yves Saint Laurent's jet crystals, and Lizzie Fortunato's asymmetrical breastplate.

Fiona Paxton Does Twenties Glamour
feature · January 14, 2009 · 0 Comments
There couldn't be a better time for Fiona Paxton's range of embroidered statement necklaces inspired by 1920's glamour. But don't chalk it up to mere coincidence, the designer has worked on prints and embroideries for the likes of Moschino, Armani, and Chloe so it's safe to assume she knows a thing or two about trends. The collection, launched in 2008, is already selling out on Kabiri (a great place to find jewelry from up-and-comers) and is only bound to expand as 2009 is slated to be as accessories-dominant as ever. Paxton's necklaces start around $210 and are hand beaded. To learn more about the designer, click here.
One necklace, Three Price Points

First off, there's no denying that the quality of a $1220 dollar Lanvin necklace will differ from that of a $7 Forever 21 version--of course it will. But doesn't this seem absurd, if only for a moment? We're not sure what these six necklaces better demonstrates, the fact that quality is not a dimension in e-commerce or that everyone--from mass market retailer to French fashion house--is trying to save a buck these days. Or could ribbon have coincidentally become a popular way to tie a few stones around your neck? Something tells us there's more to it than that.

Pile On A Giant Necklace
July 15, 2008 · 0 Comments
When it's sweltering, the only thing you can safely pile-on, aside from sunblock, is jewelry. Perhaps you've hit the point, like we have, where the novelty of summertime clothing has worn off, and all your left with is your favorite cut-offs and thinest t-shirts. A few odds and ends might rejuvenate things a bit. We have to say that jewelry is, more or less, something we just kind of forget to wear. A few years ago, however, we learned a valuable lesson that has given us our own jewelry-manifesto. Back when the Lizzie Fortunato girls were fresh out of college we attended one of their trunk shows and bought a necklace that was as heavy as a handbag and completely crazy and stunning. It was at this point that we realize that jewelry can actually make and outfit--even one as simple as a t-shirt and jean shorts. We know at this time in the season, people are making shortlists of what should be their best fall wardrobe to-date. To that end, we think it's wise to give your July/August wardrobe some last-minute love. We've put together our favorite big, bright necklaces that will make you no less hot and a lot more stylish.
