Chi City Closet: DANNIJO Bracelets

When it comes to jewelry, I’m always drawn to those bright and unique pieces which is why I’ve been such a huge fan of DANNIJO. Their pieces are not only made with such high quality but the designs are exactly what I look for in jewelry. So I found myself browsing their website and next thing I know…2 bracelets show up at my door (obviously I skipped a few steps there but I think you get where I’m going with this).

They have such great packaging which I always appreciate. Even better? Their pouches are designed by women in Africa and even individually signed…how cool!

And of course, these bracelets make a great addition to my ever-growing arm party (thanks in great part to Man Repeller for making the arm party happen).

Photobucket

Let’s be honest…they’re an arm party all in themselves!

Linda Farrow x Prabal Gurung Sunglasses

I have been stalking these since the day they hit the runway (hmmm seems to be a pattern) and now the Linda Farrow x Prabal Gurung sunglasses are finally available!

Seen throughout Prabal’s GENIUS Spring 2012 collection, these sweet sunnies are available in 4 different colors on the Linda Farrow site.

Because I’m a sucker for purple, I knew these had to be mine…

And thankfully they will be. A simple *add to cart* and these babies will be traveling across the pond to my front door in no time. Can’t wait to share pics once I get them!

Sweet Kicks: Sneakers For Spring

Although it’s a trend that’s not really my style, I do appreciate a well-pulled off sneaker. It’s a more casual alternative to flats or flat boots, but if you’ve taken a look at any of the more recent sneaker designs, they can sure make a statement. I have to say though, I’m not loving wedge sneakers…they remind me of JLo from her “Jenny From The Block” days, and why would we ever want to relive the fashions of 2002? So anyway…

With the Isabel Marant ‘Willow’ Sneakers totally being the new Miu Miu glitter booties of the season, see what sweet sneaks I’m loving for Spring.

Lia Sophia Social Fashion Suite at New York Fashion Week

While in New York for Fashion Week, I attended the Lia Sophia Social Suite to preview their latest jewelry selection, including the debut of the Zingara Red Carpet collection designed by Nylon’s Style Editor-at-Large, Dani Stahl.

Both collections have statement-making jewelry and also some smaller pieces that are great for layering. My absolute favorite was this necklace that came in a few different colors (but purple’s my favorite!) and thanks to the lovely Lia Sophia team, I got to take it home with me…

Here’s some of the Lia Sophia jewelry you can look forward to seeing next season…

Yes, those are all bracelets!
