Metal Fringe, Anyone?

Eddie Borgo had the private sale of his collection recently and I must say, it is definitely one to be proud of. His new collection of bracelets and necklaces fringed in metal is a fairly expensive way to go, but still great.

“I’ve been dying to make these pieces. The thing is, they’re expensive, so I had to wait.” Collaborating with boyfriend Keegan Singh and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, the fringe fascination will most definitely be a hit in stores. A copy of the limited-edition print (pictured here), which features Vanessa Traina modeling Borgo’s new bijoux, was hanging in the window of Lauren Santo Domingo’s Gramercy Park abode, where last night’s sale was held, and a few lucky guests got to take home a print as a gift. Damn, I wish I was there.

Bling Isn't Dead!

So you thought bling was a thing of the past? Sike! It's just back in a different way. It's more of a glamorous type of bling rather than flashy and tacky. It's back to the Gatsby era of really valuable jewels (or at least jewels that look valuable). All the big names...Dior, Gucci, David Yurman...have switched over from classic timeless pieces to showstopping timeless pieces and I'm falling in love (sigh).


These bold accessories have been poppin up in all the mags perfectly accenting the bold color clothes that have been hot for awhile now. It just all comes together...most designers have been giving us lady like styles from the 40's and 50's and the jewelry simply follows suit. After a lil searching I finally found the picture of the necklace that inspired this post which is worn by Ms. Over-exposed Rihanna. The necklace is by Vuitton and it's mesmerizing, I'm not mad at the way they styled it on her, but I wouldn't have that collar of the jacket in the way of such an amazing piece.



I guess it's time to stock up on the cocktail jewelry (or raid grannies jewelry box...hehehe)
