Crown Trifari Link Necklace

I love the way these links are joined. Unique chainlink necklace by Crown Trifari.

Chainlink Cuff Bracelet

Can you tell I've been into wide metal cuffs lately- especially those with movement. These links are all loose, which allows the piece to drape over your wrist as you move your hand.

Pierre Cardin Playing Cards

Two decks of playing cards in their original case branded Pierre Cardin. Perfect for poker night with the girls.

Pierre Cardin Parfum

Never used, in the box Pierre Cardin parfum. Great mod packaging and since it is a parfum the fragrance has not lost it's wearability.

Pierre Cardin Backgammon Game

Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the inside of this game but it appears to have never been used. The case is a briefcase style with Pierre Cardin logo fabric and a brass logo on the leather. It still has it's hang tag. There is no branding on the inside.

Spring Color: Torquoise Bead Necklace

Fun for spring or even better for summer. These are painted beads which feel light around the neck. I see this at the beach with a linen top or a bikini.

Artisan Sterling Bangle Cuff

Made up of a series of hand bent bangles joined at the back, this sterling silver cuff is a perfect layering piece. I didn't get a great shot of the bent front side, but it has a wave look to it.

Spring Color: Yellow Bead Necklace

Two things I love about this necklace are it's striking color and the fact that the beads have movement. This means that the necklace has a subtle sound as it moves- almost like a rain stick. Because the butter colored bead lies beneath a more vibrant yellow, visual depth and weight is added. It looks like a Hawaiian lei.

Spring Color: Rainbow Lucite Bracelet

The matching bracelet to the necklace I posted a few days ago. Wearing them together might be too much so I gave them a little room to breathe on the blog as well.

Christian Dior Logo Brooch

I bought this brooch this weekend, and while I normally think brooches are dated looking and old fashioned, I'm quite excited about this one. Not because it is Dior alone, but also because it looks modern. Most women who wear brooches today do so because they want it to look vintage. They want to evoke a past the way women who wear hats do- it is costume. This brooch has the potential to look modern due to the graphic nature of the logo itself, and the rope texture the logo is spelled out in. I would suggest wearing it on a scarf with a layered look, or it could look too self-conscious.

1960's Bamboo Style Earrings

Faux bamboo is so popular in home furnishings right now I thought someone would love these earrings. They make me think of summer.

YSL Graduated Bead Necklace

This fantastic YSL necklace is made up of ribbed gold-tone beads in graduating sizes that get bigger at the middle. It lands a bit below the chest, and would look perfect with a summer caftan or oversized linen top.

Spring Color: Rainbow Lucite Necklace

I'm feeling bright, bold colors in accessories for spring. I know everyone is doing layered colors and textures like patchwork but I'm thinking a cleaner approach works better with the prints we're seeing in clothing. I love the colors in this necklace, which has a matching bracelet I'll post separately. The lucite drops remind me of gummy bears in both their color and shine. It is missing two of the secondary drops but, like an old chandelier, missing pieces can add to the charm of a found object.

80's Bijan Lucite Napkin Rings

These were probably a gift-with-purchase giveaway with some Bijan fragrance. As you know I love Lucite so I really love these elephant napkin rings, despite this unfortunate history. I have four boxes of these - which makes a 16 piece set. Can't wait to have a big dinner party and put them to use!
