I am looking to buy a Tiffany cut out heart ring sterling silver in a size 8. They have discontinued it — any suggestions?
Tiffany’s original Cutout heart ring in sterling silver is currently available on the Tiffany website — though not in a size 8.
I’ve a feeling what you’re after is actually Tiffany’s Open Heart ring, designed by […]

Loooooooooove!
These Burberry strappy gladiator sandals are absolutely luxurious.
Stacked 5 inches tall on a wooden heel, these platform sandals are slick, strappy, –
Precisely what I need. The curvature of these Burberry shoes is incredibly appealing, and paired with lizard-embossed leather, I’ve a feeling these sandals would make great companions for my feet this summer.
And just when […]

The great thing about a woven tote is that whether made from plastic or the softest nappa leather, it looks classy. I’m loving both of these over-sized totes by Bottega Veneta and Banana Republic — from rich brown colouring to spacious interiors, either tote is worthy to be carried.
Bottega Veneta – a design house famous for styling […]

Carrying a heavy tote in summer is hot.
And by hot I mean sweaty, uncomfortable, and not desirable.
I’d much more handle a small clutch that can carry my essentials. That’s why this Cole Haan croc-print wallet is so appealing.
Available in cherry or chocolate, this genuine croc-embossed leather wallet features gold-tone hardware, canvas lining, and tonal topstitching.
Cole […]

And ALL things that are worth a closer look.
I’m especially loving the few jackets marked down by one of my favourite designers, Diane von […]

Bangles are BIG style for this season. Whether you layer bangles, wear them alone, or mix and match precious metals — arm candy is arguably spring/summer’s most essential accoutrement.
Check out Kenneth Jay Lane’s clear resin jewelry on sale at Nordstrom, featuring two styles for under 30 dollars.
It’s a sweet deal I’m getting in on before […]

In a gorgeous black matte finish, I couldn’t help but love this chic caiman fuscus crocodile clutch. More deep grey than black, the texture of this bag is unbelievable. Crocodile skin is known for being smooth, and the caiman fuscus variety is no exception.
This Carlos Falchi clutch features a detachable shoulder strap (not shown), suede lining, […]

I’m looking for a string of pearls, preferably about 24 inches in length, that isn’t too expensive. What are your suggestions?
The cost of a rope of pearls is affected by the same factors as a diamond or other precious stone; size, shape, and clarity all have an influence on price.
That being said, I’ve found you a […]

Metallics have never appealed to me –
Until now.
Love, love, LOVE! this Anya Hindmarch crackled mirror satchel.
The double front pockets make a modern, structured style statement, as do the sleek silver closures and crackled leather.
While I wouldn’t shoulder it as an everyday tote, I’d certainly wear it to add some sparkle to my summer wardrobe.
What about […]

Look closely.
Sometimes what seems simple is surprisingly complex.
From a distance, this Fallon bangle looks like any other Grecian-inspired cuff. But take a second peek and you’ll see that this isn’t just another piece of jewelry. Check the details – an intricate hinge closure and uniquely etched brass.
Though I’d only pay 300 dollars for real gold, this brass bangle […]

Besides warm weather, there’s one thing I’m particularly peached about this spring: ACCESSORIZING!
The right accoutrement can make or break an outfit. The quintessential example?  MK and Ashley Olsen, of course. While they look almost exactly alike, the twins each exude their own personal style — even when sharing a wardrobe — by adding unique accessories. Eclectic […]

It’s taken almost 14 years, but me thinks Consuelo Castiglioni — the designer behind Marni — has perfected her craft.
Check the evidence.
Marni’s patent shoulder bag, a vivid, vibrant green, is the epitome of artistic accoutrements. Does this not look like something you’d find at a modern art gallery? Pure patent leather has never looked so structured. […]

I’m totally going to style a floppy wide-brim hat this summer, if for no other reason than to shield my alabaster skin from the sun’s rays.
I’m not totally convinced I could wear this silver sun hat by Lola, however. While I love the details — silver mylar braids, shaped cap, floppy brim — the silver metallic colour is […]

It’s April Fools Day, darlings, but there’s no fooling around here: Cut-out spectator pumps are spot-on style for this spring and summer.
We’ve seen the spectator evolve from closed to peep-toe, from soft-grained leather to shiny patent, –
And cut-outs are the latest twist.
I’m loving several styles by Linea Paolo, available in fresh colours like lilac and […]
