Remember this dress that I included in an In Pursuit a few weeks ago? Well, I pulled the trigger on that pretty lady and am now on the hunt for some jewels to dress her up with. I’m leaning towards turquoise because I just can’t get enough of it. Here are a few options I’ve rounded up. Do you have a favorite?

Necklace | Bracelet | Cuff | Necklace | Earrings

Lately I’ve been filling up our Netflix queue with the classics. Our most recent arrival was Cleopatra starring the one and only Elizabeth Taylor. Aside from being a great way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon, I was completely mesmerized by the beautiful costumes and jewelry (would you expect anything less from her?!) In honor of the late-great Ms. Taylor, I’ve put together a round up of jewels befitting an Egyptian queen.

Jewel Box: Helga Wagner

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

I’m headed south in two short weeks for a much needed vacation and have resort wear on the brain. Summer is my favorite season (no doubt a result of having grown up on Cape Cod) so the mid-winter resort collections have always been something I look forward to. Even if you don’t have a trip scheduled, the resort collections are like a beacon of hope for warmer days ahead.

In an ideal world, I’d be packing my jewelry round full of Helga Wagner’s Palm Beach perfect jewels for my upcoming trip. Her cone shell earrings with turquoise stones (shown top left) are at the very top of my wish list. Spend some time browsing her site, I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Rainbow Rag Rug | Anna’s Chair | Notebooks | Wedges | Earrings

If your week is in need of brightening, this round up should do the trick. I’m particularly obsessed with Anne Harwell’s rendition of Anna Spiro’s chair. Anna happens to be one of my very favorite interior designers and I die over this chair. What’s even more amazing is that Anne’s print has been turned into a needlepoint kit. If I only had the skill..

Tortoise shell is one of those timeless patterns that looks chic in just about any form. Use it as a neutral in both fashion and interiors to instantly up your chic quotient.

P.S I received this Bobbi Brown palette (which unfortunately seems to be sold out) for Christmas and the colors are as gorgeous as the packaging. Highly recommend it if you can get your hands on one!
