Dana Rebecca Designs 2011 Collection Trunk Show

This weekend I attended [what had to have been] the most fabulous trunk show ever. Located in a luxurious suite at the Park Hyatt (with a stunning view I might add), women with fabulous taste gathered to browse the 2011 collection from Dana Rebecca Designs (as previewed here).

I was in love with what I previewed but seeing it in real life definitely tops it. Her collection is full of bright colors and unique shapes that will just blow you away. Dana’s jewelry includes a wide range of styles, from dainty everyday pieces (like her famous Lauren Joy necklaces) to extravagant earrings that make you feel like you’re on the red carpet. An afternoon playing with the most amazing jewelry surrounded by great people and delicious treats (see below for treat details)…needless to say, it was a wonderful afternoon.

Sprinkles...need I say more?

Now that we’ve covered the snack spread, let’s move onto the jewelry…shall we?

Don't you just want everything?

Can you tell which one's my favorite?

I'll take one of everything, please

Havaianas Beach Pop-Up Event

Early this week I posted about the “Make Your Own Havaianas” Beach Pop-Up event I was hosting. If you didn’t get the chance to attend, there’s still a chance for you to make your own Havaianas. The pop-up will be at North Avenue beach through July 31 and will be open Thursdays through Sundays from 11am to 7pm.

I made these.

I would love to see what you come up with!

Despite the weather, it was a really fun event. I got to hang out with my fellow Style Tribe members, host with my talented friend Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style, and I wore my new Proenza Schouler SS ’11 dress with my Missoni x Havaianas flip flops…what more could I ask for?

Dana Rebecca Designs Unveils 2011 Collection

Last summer I had the pleasure of interviewing Dana Levy of Dana Rebecca Designs. If you’re not familiar with her jewelry, I highly suggest checking it out because it’s truly unique and absolutely stunning.

I was so excited when I checked my mail the other day to see an invitation from DRD…she’s unveiling her 2011 collection next weekend! I cannot wait to see all of the new amazing pieces. Thankfully I got my hands on some photos from her new collection, but you’ll just have to wait until after the event for more 🙂
