(obsessed with} picasso-inspired jewelry

Can't get enough of Oscar de la Renta's Picasso-inspired jewelry collection for Resort 2012. Love the enamel and gold guitar pieces...they are so incredibly chic!

This Marc by Marc Jacobs choker is pretty delightful. Why am I just coming across it now?

Luckily, it's on sale at Nordstrom. I think this will be an addition to my holiday wish list....

Spied these St. Kilda enamel lip cuffs on Garance Dore's blog today, and now I'm obsessed...

surreal beauty {alexis bittar}

Another jewelry-themed post before the end of the night... Alexis Bittar is one of my favorite jewelry designers, and his boutiques are fabulous too since they always feature some tremendous piece of taxidermy (such as the lion I am photographed with to the right.) These totally surreal images from his 2012 Resort look book do not disappoint either. They are so good in fact, I would love if they came large enough to frame. For more of this crazy eye candy, go here...

band of gold

I'm always lusting for more jewelry, and rings are usually at the top of my list...

Whether slim and delicate, or brutalist and bold, or with quirky critters and skulls... a beautiful gold ring (or two or three) for my hand makes me a happy lady. I suspect it's because I can look down at it all day long!

candy colors

I came across Extasia's collection of intaglio jewelry at an adorable jewelry boutique in Cape May, NJ called Victorious. I love the opaque, candy-colored German pressed glass that is used to update these Victorian designs. The colors truly pop, especially the acid green and the periwinkle, and some like the orange are approaching neon territory! So fun!

feathers

Added to my luxury wish list: gorgeous, feathered fine jewelry by Wilfredo Rosado...
