Found at the thrift store, I love these 4 ounce, blue and white striped juice glasses. As my kitchen colors are reds, oranges and yellows, I could not see them fitting in. Ah, but my bathroom is blue and aqua. And they were exactly what I needed to organize my Q-tips, makeup brushes and pencils. They fit in perfectly, standing at the ready to dispense just the right beauty tool.

Think pink! Found a September, 1958 copy of French fashion magazine, L’Officiel at the flea market a few years ago. I just love perusing all the glamorous couture clothing and accessories and spotting the marquee names of famous French design houses that are still relevant today. Chanel, Lanvin, Chritian Dior to name just a few. And how about this ad for Jacques Fath, by the famed, mid century fashion illustrator, Rene’ Gruau? Doesn’t every girl need some pearls to go with her cat suit?

Welcome to my first recurring series: Screen Gems
One of my most favorite TV and movie story lines involving jewelry, is the Empress Carlotta’s Necklace episode from the Dick Van Dyke Show. Rob buys Laura a replica of Empress Carlotta’s Necklace, and presents it to her as a surprise gift. She hates it. I first saw this episode sometime in the mid 1990′s and thought this necklace was fabulous and wondered, where could I get one like it? And I still love this necklace. Thanks Rob and Laura for the inspiration! Below are just some of my favorite statement necklaces for spring. From the top: ca & lou, Lizzie Fortuno, Vionnet, Mawi and Van Cleef & Arpels.

January feels like summer time in LA. I made some new earrings so that I could sit by the pool and still make a splash. And I even found a swim suit that would match!

Truly enjoying the Fall 2011 jewelry collections. Statement pieces still abound, but they tend to be cleaned up a bit. Big and bold and yet small details keeping things feminine, architectural and a bit mysterious. Is it a goth look or bit more film noir? You decide! Above is my latest necklace, the Glitterati, and the 3 pieces that inspired it. To see more necklaces like this, click here.

Meets Obsession is a new fashion and lifestyle magazine. I was lucky enough to be asked to loan them some jewelry to accessorize their fall fashion shoot. Check out the sneak peak video of the photo shoot here. The 2-minute clip features models Ksusha B., Joshua M., and Juelles C. as well as the fall/winter 2011 collection of luxury designer Zang Toi. Look for the Susan Jane Gotham bib necklace, used on the model as a hair accessory (as shown in top photo) and the Bell Air cuff bracelet. Thanks and congratulations to Jacqy and the creative team at Meets Obsession!!! For more information, check out Meets Obsession.
