Happy 6 years to this guy! There's no one I'd rather explore this world with. Here's to more laughs, adventures and cheese plates!
Vintage Jewelry Boxes
Golden filigree boxes framed in glass... I find them at just about every antique shop and I can't help but collect them all! Perfect for storing jewels and precious keepsakes. eBay and Etsy are fully stocked with options as well, I saved a few links below for collectors alike!
Morning at the Met
I visited The Metropolitan Museum a few weeks ago to see the Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology exhibit with my Mother while she was in town for a girl's weekend. We spent the rest of our afternoon wandering the sculpture halls at the Met. Afterwards, we walked over to Bergdorf's for dessert and tea.
How to Style Vintage Chanel Jewelry
Chanel is by far my biggest vintage weakness. Those iconic double C's have made their mark in fashion along with the label's trademark tweed and quilting. Vintage Chanel jewelry and handbags, with 18k gold plated hardware, are actually becoming more sought after than newer styles... Especially now that Chanel has discontinued their gold plating in recent collections. There is something so timeless about the bold and golden looks circa 1980-1990's, filled with layers upon layers of chains and pearls. To see how I styled my favorite vintage Chanel accessories, visit a few of my previous posts: Embellished with Brooches, Belted with Charms and Pinned onto a Tweed Jacket.
New Shades, Vintage Jewels
Two of my biggest weaknesses are sunglasses and vintage jewelry, both of which I am always on the hunt for! I have been wearing these Chloé and Gucci frames on repeat this summer... They are each the perfect compliment to golden and pearled vintage jewels.
