Currently Coveting

Right now, I’m coveting:

  • A fresh spring coat in a structured shape
  • Loeffler Randall’s adorable flats with a polka dot bow
  • A pair of rose gold earrings that perfect for everyday
  • A mug that makes me smile
  • A sophisticated touch of lucite
  • A polka dot scarf
  • A beautifully embellished bag

Finding this coat on eBay inspired me to dig out my Banana Republic clutch from the same season. Together, they’re the perfect canvas for spring’s delicate gems.

Behind the Baubles: Hassan Bounkit

Hassan Bounkit, Founder of Bounkit

No one creates colorful gems better than Hassan Bounkit, founder of Bounkit. As you see above, his pieces are bold, yet undeniably elegant. Even a pair of simple round studs is given special treatment with an refined setting. I’ve got my eye on a pair of floral studs, but I’m dreaming of these stunners. His work has been featured in major fashion publications, worn by countless celebrities, and featured on television shows like Gossip Girl.

I remember coveting this coat from Deborah Lloyd’s tenure at Banana Republic back in 2004. Even though I had my Gap employee discount, I couldn’t justify the purchase on my modest college budget. But some things are meant to be. I stumbled across the coat on eBay a couple of weeks ago and scored it for $40.
