Lovin' Me Some Luxury

Everyone knows I love fine things.  Well, I seriously was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth - mine was more like plastic, but as I have grown through the years, I found a great appreciation for things that are luxurious.  While in New York, I had the opportunity to sit second row for the Norman Ambrose show held at Lincoln Center. We saw his presentation last season as well which was exclusively luxurious, but this season for spring/summer, he really outdid himself.  It was a super glamorous collection full of beautiful fabrics and beautiful accessories.   The clothing started out in a white/black/silver sort of palate and then went into the most gorgeous coral colorations mixed with turquoise.  It just looked expensive.

Simple earrings are all that's needed with this dress

So simple yet so chic

The color is so saturated, it looks yummy

Even casual wear is glam

This coat was a show-stopper in person

Time for a gala

I've had such good fortune this year with press and tv appearances, that I've had to amp up my jewelry collection to marry better with my clothes because beautiful baubles always speak high volumes for any look.  I stumbled across these sassy sisters who make custom jewelry from vintage metals and holy relics.  The line is called Bella Rose.  They will have you on your knees praying for some of these pieces that are made from Chanel chain metal from the 70's that even Rachel Zoe would trip out over.  Their price point is from about $250 - $750 which I think either worn alone or layered with other jewelry will give you a lot of look for your buck.  They are my new go-to-girls for jewels.
