The Newest Covet: November 11, 2012

We've all heard of convertible clothing: a coat that transforms into a vest, or a bag that transitions from a cross-body to a shoulder strap style.  But jewelry?  Typically, what you see is what you get.

Mi Asunta has changed all that with their visionary 5 piece necklace.

 

The interchangeable brass and sterling silver bars can be moved up and down to create countless new looks, and the mixed-metal finish matches any jewelry wardrobe - providing you with a brand new necklace every day.

While the five piece chain is currently sold out, the three piece version is available at Amazon.  Incredibly versatile, it's surely on my Christmas list this year.

Big, Bold Rings - The 'New' Statement Necklace

I seem to end up wearing a cocktail ring every day.  Perfect for work dresses, and so sassy with a simple t-shirt and jeans, I almost feel naked now without one - even carving a pumpkin in pjs with friends the other day called for a Rings Eclectic statement piece.

1. Iridescent Rhinestoned Ring, $6.80

2. Janis by Janis Savitt Crystal Gold Chain Ring, $175.00

3. Kenneth Jay Lane Gold Opal + Crystal Cocktail Ring, $125.00

4. Nest Chrysophase + Brass Ring, $250.00

5. Gara Danielle Victorian Wood + Pearl Ring, $125.00

6. Ted Rossi White Gem Python Dome Ring, $148.00

I Love My...

In rain, snow, sleet and hail, I love my Melissa + Alexandre Herchcovitch lace up oxfords.

Never a huge fan of clunky galoshes, typically the sole option for inclement weather footwear, I am so excited about an all-weather shoe alternative.  100% rubber, with a non-skid bottom, these oxfords come in a multitude of color options.  And they are so comfortable.  Always a bit of a klutz, even I didn't falter tramping over wet leaf piles and slippery sidewalks this week post-Hurricane Sandy wanderings.

I scored the baby blue + ivory pair for a song on Ideeli.com many months ago, but there are still a ton of color options available on Yoox.com at a discount.

Whoever said you had to sacrifice style for functionality?

The Newest Covet: November 1, 2012

 

 

Each year when the temperature dips, I start obsessing over scarves.  This year, I'm craving BP's chunky knit infinity version.  Incredibly cozy, vintage-inspired, and oh so reminiscent of my beloved grams' crocheting projects, I'm sold on the ruby + ivory color combination.
