Loving this new piece…Thirteen hand selected, mixed vintage chains are linked together to create three tiers of layers. Made from at least 37 different pieces of vintage jewelry, each necklace will be slightly one of a kind. Necklaces are packaged in a special DLC jewelry box and are secured onto a printed book card. Sheets of vintage dictionary pages protect the jewelry during transit. An authenticity card is also included. Retail $450.

Tricia and I hosted out first Couture, Cocktails & Cupcakes event Tuesday night sponsored by Hennessy Black! The turnout was amazing…we had great vendors featuring swimwear by Hanne Bloch (one of my favorite swimsuit designers), complimentary brow threading and teasing from BrowHaus (thank you Ramon!), fantastic rings from Holbrooke by S. Berry, survival kits by Missfitstyles, headwear from Leah C, and jewelry by Naihturelle.

Guests could enjoy cocktails such as the Royale - a Hennessy Black signature drink blended with Moet Chandon champagne, as they snacked on sushi or cupcakes while they shopped!

Century 21…

Where to shop: Clearly Century 21 is no secret…but it’s still one of the greatest discount department stores for brand name items we have in the city. It’s a complete tourist trap and the only time I recommend even attempting to enter the store would be early in the morning (when they’ve re-set the floor) and during the week. Just last week I picked up some great Cosabella and Felina lingerie at prices you wouldn’t believe, plus a great Marc Jacobs Anorak…but DON’T even attempt to shop on the weekend - you’ve been warned. So set your alarm, get there early…and arm yourself with your ipod and a lot of patience lol.

Alexander Wang for Linda Farrow

For his Spring/Summer 2010 show, Alexander Wang introduced a football feel to the clothing and sunglasses to his product offerings. Four additional are styles being produced with Linda Farrow (the ultra-chic British eyewear brand that’s done collaborations with uber-hip designers ranging from Yohji Yamamoto and Dries Van Noten to Matthew Williamson and Raf Simons), but i’m loving this zipper-accented model. I already have the collabo with Matthew Williamson, but I may have to pick these up as well!!

KM* Rii was born in 2000 . KM* Riis Creator Lui Onozaki ( Japan) draws
influences from his years of world traveling whether it is a recreation of
Industrial element or an indigenous artifact . These diverse historical
elements are united into a timeless aesthetic. Each piece clearly belongs
inside a life of unconventional refinement, meticulously handcrafted from
select material utilizing cutting edge treatment and technique. Rooted in a
global underground culture and extending out from there, KM* Rii’s Créations
emerge from a world without boundaries.” – Frédérique Lorca
