So, one of the many things I love about 1920s / flapper style are the amazing headbands.
They are sort of like a grownup tiaras… an excuse to wear an embellished crown for the evening (without looking crazy). Lisa van Wambeck has a great collection for sale on Etsy.

Black onyx and diamond fan bracelet in platinum from Tiffany & Co.

Yes, my jaw actually dropped when I saw this.
Dear future husband, I will gladly accept this in lieu of an engagement ring.

Happy Sunday! I think today is going to be pretty slow-moving for me. A perfect day to sit back, relax, and enjoy great fashion and art.
Speaking of, I am loving these pieces by | HOLST + LEE | …

Their online shop is coming soon… until then, you can purchase here.

May 1st! Can you believe it?
This winter flew by . . .

And I need to fly out of here to work. Before I go, I thought I’d post these amazing pieces by Anthony Roussel. He creates beautiful jewelery inspired by the epic sweep of the British coastline and a passion for modern architecture.

Roussel applies delicate flowing lines and sweeping curves, meticulously layering sheets of wood into sinuous forms. His fascination with the repetitive linear patterns found within geological rock formations is echoed in his technique. Essentially he builds flat elements into fluid structures.

Although formally trained in traditional metalwork, he discovered his real love for materials in wood after being introduced to working with various species by a violin maker.

Roussel pushes jewellery as an Art form, seeing the body as a veritable canvas. The jewellery he creates function as sculptural objects as well as wearable pieces of body adornment in their own right.

As well as his work’s instantly recognizable aesthetic, Roussel quickly became known for his skilled marriage of new technologies with traditional materials and cutting-edge design. Through the form of 3D modeling software and digital production, he embraces avant-garde processes whilst still preserving hand craft and good workmanship. A challenging statement upon what is possible in progressive jewellery design.

Roussel is a conscientious maker who’s work is bold in nature yet delicate in appearance. With the use of wood, he questions the traditional notions of preciousness, in using new technologies as a tool, he challenges existing perceptions of craft.

I am loving these spring DIY projects! This “Utility Cord Bangle” comes from Blog A La Cart and if I can’t make it, I definitely want it…  Think of all the awesome color/ chain combos. I wonder how it would look in black with a Swarovski Crystal Chain?? Hmmm….

Wear your city with pride (or leave that subway map at home) with these cool cuffs from Design Hype. Chicago coming soon… then Boston?
