Cute Collabo: Jil Sander and Damiani Jewlery

Jil Sander has teamed up with jewelry house Damiani to give a nod to the punk rock generation, think safety pins as earrings, but adorned with gold and stones (aquamarine, onyx, smoky quartz, citrine), Tahitian pearls/diamonds to create a punk, edgy, and all the while feminine ear spear I mean earring. These lovely pieces added a bit of glam when paired with Jil Sander Spring 09 black/white minimalist collection. Each pair has had me mesmerized for months and mesmerized I shall stay because they retail between $4,500-$10,000. I know it’s wrong to say, but I’m hoping some designer in the $40-$100 dollar price range a gets “inspired” by the two design houses and creates similar pieces for the masses!

Shoptalk: The Honeyroom

What lady doesn’t love the occasional cheap accessory? Hell I almost hate to use that word when referring to these items; they are fun, unique, and clearly not cheap looking. I found them at The Honeyroom a small online store that specializes in reasonable fun finds. The items below just happened to be my favorite picks from the store. The 80’s inspired earrings, retro sunglasses; funky fall scarf and naughty necklace are the perfect finds for our new economy and the emerging recessionistas. There are lots more finds at The Honeyroom so maneuver your extra cash wisely!

Shoptalk: Headbanger Accessories

Straight from the Bay Area three fashion savvy women( Tiffany, Shayla, and Tasha) have now turned accessories designers with their line of earrings called Head Banger Accessories .

My personal favorites are the metal loves ( top pictured), a full on rock star earring that is well “lavish” as well as fashion forward, and feminine all at once. Each earring is handmade and therefore each one is slightly different so we know what that means “one of a kind” jewelry and we all know how I love one of a kind.
