Got a Taste for E&J

You guys already know that I love me some Mary Kate and Ashley and I absolutely love their line Elizabeth & James.
I'm super excited that they are coming out with a jewelry line for E&J!
The line is a collaborative effort with Robert Lee Morris--- they have created minimalist pieces from brass, silver and wooden beads that incorporates subtle designs and shapes for a classic yet modern line.
Whether it's their multiple clothing lines ['Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen' for children, their women's high end line 'The Row' or their casual line 'Elizabeth & James'], their consistent attendance at fashion shows or their book, Influence, which gives praise to those in the fashion industry that have inspired them and others around the world;there's only one thing to know: these girls are pretty unstoppable!

Jewelry Is Functional

Ever went to Starbucks & just grabbed for your coffee. It totally slips your mind that the coffee is scorching hot. Well now, Contexture Design has found a solution. Coffee cuffs. Your bracelet is now a cup holder, until your beverage is finished. Convenient. It comes in different wood types & goes well with that bohemian style we have come to love. What's not to like. . .& admire? They filled a niche. Now all they have to do is convince Dunkin' Donuts that this will help them beat out Starbucks. Rivalry sells products...

It's All About The Nervous System

Nervous System is a jewelery line started in 2007 by Jesse Louis-Rosenberg & Jessica Rosenkrantz. It's a line that uses unconventional materials such as rubber to create interesting pieces. Their pieces are based in the geometries of nature all around us. Their jewelery is affordable and very different. It's more about the design than the materials, which I admire. MIT does produce some brilliant minds. lol Vote for their fan design in the Ponko Jewelery Competition. Check the pics below for more examples of their work.

Pharrell is at it AGAIN!

Pharrell Williams has worked with almost all of the big shots in the music industry, has his own line of clothing and has worked with Louis Vuitton to create the Millionaire sunglasses line. You didn't necessarily have to be a millionaire to buy them but it probably wouldn't hurt. Louis Vuitton collaborated with the talented Pharrell Williams and Bathing Ape designer Nigo to create a new line of sunglasses.

Now Pharrell has made a new jewelry line for the fashion label. Fashion director of L.V, Marc Jacobs arranged to have Pharrell work with jewelry designer Camille Miceli for the collection. Look at these pics, courtesy of the Kanye West blog; if these pics don't make you want to go hold up the Louis V store on 5th Ave then I don't know what will. The rings are sooo creative!!!
