I apologize that I have not blogged in so long! I have been so incredibly busy; my hopes of writing every day seem to be impossible. Over the past few weeks I have been working as well as traveling. I went to the met and saw the “american women: fashioning a national identity” exhibit. It was incredible, although very quick. My favorite section was the Flapper period. The dresses were GORGEOUS. I highly recommend the exhibit! Anyways, during my time in the city, I did some shopping in SoHo. I discovered this little boutique – Erin Brinie. Everything was so cute, and the prices were ridiculously inexpensive. I bought two casual cotton shirts, yet very chic, for a total of twenty one dollars.. what a steal!
While I was there, I went into Bendel’s and the whole entrance was filled with beautiful jewelery. I’m not sure if this was a special sale, or if they have just redecorated the store since my last visit. Either way, it got me thinking about statement jewelery. Usually, I like to keep my jewelery pretty simple on a daily basis. I wear two small gold rings with a diamond, some little gold bracelets on my left hand, and either a watch or a different bracelet on my right. However, after looking through these beautiful collections at Bendel’s, I questioned why I never wore anything that made a statement. I started off with a yellow gold and oynx Van Cleef and Arpels alhambra necklace.

I also discovered Roberta Freymann. For under $500, her statement pieces are easily affordable and gorgeous. Her unique style is inspired by her travels throughout the world, especially to India, where she was awed by the beautiful colors that were incorporated into everything. This is taken from her website:
Roberta Freymann: Global traveler who speaks five languages, style diva, interior designer, arbiter of individual style, New Yorker, entrepreneur, and mother to Maki (a thirteen year old Scottish Terrier.) In 2003, Roberta launched her world with two complementary yet distinct signature collections: Roberta Roller Rabbit and her namesake. Her philosophy of chic global style at accessible prices coupled with her larger than life personality have captured the hearts of women of all ages from around the world. On one of her many trips to India, Roberta discovered the fairytale of Roberta Roller Rabbit and quickly decided to bring it to life through her colorful, fun prints and patterns. She launched the collection with signature kurtas accessorized by pareos and beach bags.
