Loving Lately

Lately, I’m loving:

This Lele Sadoughi necklace. Lele was my very first “Behind the Baubles” interviewee and I’ve been obsessed with her jewels ever since. I still can’t believe I pulled the trigger.
A pair of $6 knock-offs of Dior’s double pearl earrings. Obviously I’d prefer the original, but I’ll happily settle on the pair that costs less than lunch.
Aquaphor. How have I been without this miracle worker for so long?! Winter leaves my skin dry, chapped and cracked and this balm immediately soothed and repaired the problem areas.
Fit and flare dresses. I’m keeping an eye out for one to wear on repeat this spring. So far, I’ve narrowed it down to this J.Crew dress in “haven blue” (but the sheen of the fabric might be too fancy for daytime wear), a Club Monaco dress in light pink (I like the placement of the seams and the v-shaped back), or this French Connection dress in poppy (I’m unsure about the pseudo cap sleeves).

In the Details

I purchased this ring from Karen Hsiang not longer after featuring her in a “Behind the Baubles” post. Trust me, the sensual curves of her designs are even prettier in person! I’ve been wearing it nearly everyday and I especially adore how it looks stacked with the Cynthia Jones ring below.

Outfitted

I don’t have any intention of leaving the house on NYE, but I’ll wear this If my plans go awry and we find ourselves someplace other than our apartment. It’s not sparkly. It’s not over the top. But, it’s so very “me” and I can wear it to work during the day. What are your plans for the final hours of 2013?

Review: LeeMo Designs

October 22, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Confession time: one of my biggest fears is that the aging process will punish me for wearing doorknocker-size earrings. I really, really do not want to be an old lady with saggy earlobes.* Neither does Leela Morimoto of LeeMo Designs. Her collection of lightweight earrings is fashioned from origami and lasercut acrylic to create beautiful statement pieces without the heft.

I fell in love with the clear acrylic Oridama earrings. Doesn’t it look like the crystallized pattern of frost on a windowpane?

Check back later this week to go “Behind the Baubles” with Leela and a chance to win a pair of diamond-shaped origami Ayano earrings. (I’m fond of the blue and white pair.)

*Instead, I really, really want to grow up to be like Iris Apfel. Have you seen her HSN line?

A huge thank you to Leela for sending over the earrings!

Bauble of the Week

May 19, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

This feature is dangerously close to becoming the “Necklace of the Week,” but can you really blame me when there are so many stunning options? This week’s bauble is one of my favorites from designer Gerard Yosca. You’ll get to know more about him in an upcoming “Behind the Baubles” and have a chance to win one of his beautiful designs. (Yes, I’m jealous. And, yes, I do expect the winner to take lots of photos to share with me on Instagram!) Stay tuned for more info.
