Stone Jewelry

By -
When I was a kid, I had a thin slab of dyed agate. Its varying lines and textures were strikingly beautiful and complicated. Lately jewelry of raw natural crystals and polished stones has been trickling into stores.
Kimberly McDonald makes breath-taking jewelry of geodes surrounded with diamonds. Can't afford it. This season Yves Saint Laurent has been exploring a similar idea, but it's still out of range (especially considering that these designs don't have any diamonds). Since this trend is an 80s throwback, there are already plenty of less pricey options.Clockwise: stone stretch bracelets, Norstrom $35
grey stone ring, Anthropologie $148
green slab bracelet, Viktoria Hayman at Bluefly $159.99
mixed stones long necklace, A.V. Max on Bluefly $76
Clockwise: quartz cuff, Anthropologie $168
blue quartz bangle, Max & Cleo $98
agate stands necklace, Urban Outfitters $28
raw crystal ring, Urban Outfitters $18
graduated teardrop necklace, Nordstrom $98

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Metallic Shoes

Over a couple of fabulous martinis, becca and I were discussing how many people comment on our metallic shoes. (She has some gold heeled Frye booties and I have low heeled oxfords.) It's like they've never thought of gold or silver as belonging anywhere but on jewelry or a New Year's Eve dress. Not only do they snazz up an everyday jeans and tunic, but they can be used as party shoes too. (Yes, I would wear my oxfords to a party. I'm funky like that.) As you can see from my laments of craving below, metallics are my perfect shoe color.Top: silver cutout wedge, Jeffrey Campbell at Urban Outfitters $128 (Want!)
disc flat, Enzo Angiolini "Zella" on Endless $88.95
gold pump, Shellys of London at Mod Cloth $94.99
