{at the shops: gemma redux, new york}

. . . palest pink mother-of-pearl and little bits of gold, glittering crystal and gilded lace -- a study of contrast & excess -- the mixed metal pieces in the spring\11 collection by gemma redux are as perfect with the last light summer dresses of the weekend, as with belted camel coats and socks & heels on a mid-september day . . .

{at the shops: lulu frost}

. . . quite adore the stunning collections by lulu frost, with their wonderful combinations of antique and modern, each one-of-a-kind piece created from found period antiques, including long-lost room numbers from the plaza hotel, forgotten keys and chandelier crystal, but enchanted most with the corkboard double brooch necklace from the bond collection, dreamed up of beautiful brass mesh and {perfectly clever} detachable 1920's vintage rhinestone brooches, the intermingling of golden hues and glamorous sparkle perfect for upcoming holiday parties . . .
