The golden citrine stone is almost floating on top of the silver band from Jules Smith Designs by Gina Nigrelli. What a great combination of the architectural style and delicate design. $198 at www.revolveclothing.com

This bracelet from D&G Dolce & Gabbana is not your regular girly charm bling (these made up words are really contagious). The mixture of multiple chains and different sizes of charms makes this one stand out. Also looks good in the form of a necklace. At Zappos.com.


These beauties from the luxury Italian shoe line Claudio Merazzi. As always, every little detail is handcrafted and handsewn by Italian artisans. Those, and the breathtaking design, justify the unmentionable price. Just look at the craftsmanship of this nude satin sandal with rhinestone encrusted ankle strap and pleated vamp that takes us back to the era of Louis XIV royal court. Or the multitude of straps of the black satin sandals. Even the heels are higher than your average 4 inches. You can find these, and more of Claudio Merazzi at www.endless.com.
Christian Audigier from Ed Hardy is now applying his tattoo designs to handbags. Since I don’t have the guts to do the actual body art, I’ll just stick to t-shirts and accessories. Thank you, Ed Hardy, for expanding! Besides the cool graphics, this Tess Messenger bag also has many compartments, which is another plus as I like to keep my essential belongings organized. Only $190 at endless.com.
