Hmm, I'm on a big jewelry kick of late.
There are many reasons why I love all the various designer discount sites such as Gilt.com, Ruelala.com, etc., but the biggest reason is that every now and then I get introduced to a designer or label that I was unaware of. Billion Dollar Babes today started a sale on Marquis & Camus jewelry and I'm in love - especially with the military inspired necklaces!!
So gorgeous. If I ever inherit my grandfather's Purple Heart and Croix de Guerre medals I might actually consider transforming them into a similar design; but maybe first I should try hitting up some Philly antiques, vintage, or thrift shops to see if I can find some suitable items to work with first. Marquis & Camus also have more girly, flirty necklace designs like the ones I see all the time in Anthropologie:
Most of their current collection includes fabric florals, but I think that the one with the little pink bows is way cuter and something that, if I had all the money in the world, I would buy for my niece. She may only be 2 but she's becoming quite the little fashionista; clearly taking after her way cool aunt. Plus, she's currently going through a pink girly phase and I've gotta take advantage of it before it disappears. Anyway, back on topic:
I also discovered that they make purses and these two really stood out. The cameo style decoration on the left one is beautiful and I think only one of two that's listed on their website. Some of their bags are a little too over the top for my taste, given the style of bag they favor.
This necklace is really fun - its one of the many items in the BDB sale, but its $278 price tag (originally $795) is way more than I'm willing and able to spend on a single item. Its a different interpretation of the menswear as womenswear trend, and god knows I probably can't pull off a bowtie anyway so this would be the closest I'd ever get. The red plaid is my favorite, but they have three other colors as well.
And who doesn't love Dominos?
