Francisca Flores Resin Heart Earrings

We can't get enough of bold chunky jewelry. This trend has lasted several seasons, and we suspect, will hold longer that the broader 80's trend that has been popular the past few seasons. While we've never heard of Francisca Flores before, these earrings (and the matching bracelet to be posted later) made us an instant fan. Cast resin hearts in rust are bound in gold wire and suspended from a smaller heart which hangs upside down. The signature tells us that Flores was/is based in Paris, and there are several contemporary French designers doing a similar look now. These also resemble 80's jewelry by YSL and Lacroix.

Mesh and Rhinestone Pendant Necklace

The necklace itself is mesh tubing while the pendant is flattened mesh adorned with rhinestones.

Rhinestone Heart Earrings

These heart shaped earrings also resemble strawberries to me.

Carlos Falchi Python Heels

How exciting it was to find a pair of mint condition Carlos Falchi python heels! They are in a great color (black), a desirable size (8.5), and have a modern heel. Someone is going to be quite happy that they didn't have to spend over $1,000 at Barneys for these beautiful shoes.

Rhinestone Ring

I love everything about this vintage ring- the colors of the rhinestones, the organization of the design, and the fact that the spring expands to fit anyone or any finger.

Jean Charles de Castelbajac

Jean Charles Castelbajac got his start by making himself a coat out of an old blanket when he was just a boy. This became a signature look for him and this coat is a prime example of the look Castelbajac was after. I found this over the summer but didn't feel it was appropriate to post until fall. I sold this piece at the vintage show I attended this past weekend, and am already missing it. The dealer who bought it sells exclusively to high end collectors in New York, so I know it will find a good home.
