Tweet There was a 21st-anniversary reunion of the Wayne’s World cast last week. Reading about it, I realized that not only did the people involved in that movie have great taste in music … …they had great taste in jewelry too. Check out this picture of Lara Flynn Boyle wearing a “WAYNE” necklace that’s exactly [...]

Tweet Animal-motif jewelry has been around since ancient times. Big cats are an enduring theme. When it comes to a universal concept like this, “‘Tain’t what you do (it’s the way that you do it),” as the song goes. Everyone can interpret the same idea differently. For instance, I made a tiger ring for my [...]

Tweet Many designers have done slashed necklines, but I was struck by the fact that I spotted the 1980s Geoffrey Beene online mere seconds after I saw the Spring 2013 Versace. Business-y slashed neckline versus boudoir slashed neckline … which do you prefer?

Tweet When I admired a gel-filled PVC clutch by Christopher Kane in May, I didn’t imagine I’d see the look again … … but today, I spotted Kotur’s gel-filled, acrylic “Pink Snow Globe Clutch” on New York Magazine’s website. I’ve got to keep my eye out for more of these. They remind me of lava [...]

I loved my crazy-looking wedding cake by Ron Ben-Israel. Here’s another shot of it. Guests lined up to take pictures of that [...]

Tweet Topshop has announced a new designer collaboration. Not with me, sillies! Instead, the U.K.-based fast-fashion chain struck a deal with 27-year-old British designer J.W. Anderson. Apparently, he’s an up-and-comer, but he’s certainly not a Margiela, Lagerfeld or Versace as far as name recognition goes. The latter three designers/design houses have all worked with H&M, [...]

Tweet I’ve always wanted a pair of embroidered vintage Golo boots. Aren’t they spectacular? These suede Jimmy Choo boots remind me of the Golos … … but the Choos are more subtle, with less embroidery and muted colors. I’m going to hold out for the eye-catching originals.

Tweet When I wore my silver Prada wedges to Milan Fashion Week in 2007, the shoes were already a couple of years old, so I was amused by all the photographers taking pictures of them. I thought it would be hilarious if that style appeared on someone’s runway the following season thanks to all the [...]

Tweet I’m quote-happy today! One of MrB’s favorite quotes is, “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission.” That one is attributed to the late U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. Many of my jewelry designs are inspired by extraordinary women and I’m going to have to do a tribute to [...]
