Latest Loves: Ridiculous Rings

I bought an owl ring today. It makes me ridiculously happy. Statement rings are great pretty much all the time, because they don't often conflict with embellished clothing the way earrings and necklaces do. Also, there really is nothing more fun than rocking a crazy ring. Here are some of my other faves: 

David Yurman

Elizabeth and James (favorite!)

Konstantino

Stephen Dweck

Stephen Webster

Alexander McQueen

Spring 2011 Accessories: The Clutch

The clutch bag has always been a staple, but lately the small bag is making a comeback across the board. Spring 2011 offers up an array of shapes, sizes, colours and designs. Some are great and some are just plain strange (think Carrie Bradshaw and her swan bag). Either way, just like a great pair of shoes, a clutch can be a little piece of art that you get to carry around, and just happens to carry a (small) amount of your stuff in it. What could be better?

My favourites for Spring:

 Chloe

Burberry

Jen Kao

Jil Sander

Louis Vuitton

Marc Jacobs

Nancy Gonzalez

Sang A

Valentino

Viktor and Rolf

McQueen Still King

February 11th 2011 will see the first year anniversary of the untimely passing of one of the most lauded designers of this generation: Alexander McQueen. However, the torch has been handed over to new creative director of the brand, Sarah Burton, who does not disappoint with the Spring 2011 line. The pieces are classic McQueen, but show growth from previous accessories, they continue to offer something fresh. Burton has added her own flavor to the line - not an easy task, even for someone who worked with McQueen for years until his death. The pieces show a juxtaposition of fecundity and the macabre, freshness and decay. They toy with the idea of new life of the brand and the dark side that seems to have haunted Lee McQueen himself. Burton has proved that real art lives on.
