Annie Band Makes Us Fly!

Since discovering her incredible jewels just a little while ago, we have fallen in love over and over with Annie Band! Although there are over ten collections, all unique, all inspirational and all absolutely stunning, we can’t help but obsess over the amazing array of wings! Ranging from simple pieces like textured Sterling Silver drop earrings to mini-pendants with Sapphires & Rubies set in brilliant Bronze, each of Annie’s gorgeous Wings are unique and fabulously symbolic in their own way. Edgy yet sweet, girlishly innocent yet sophisticated, Band’s pieces capture a little bit of everything in the perfect package. For more check out Annieband.com!

Lay off my Blue Velvet Shoes!
With the Fall comes three things we love…deep jewel-tone hues, chunky shoes/booties & cozy textured materials…this coming season we could not be more excited for our favorite elements to come together in style after style of frenzy-worthy Blue Velvet Shoes! Our obsession with rich velvet shoes really started ages ago with the discovery of the ever-classic Stubbs & Wootton royal slippers, yet with their wee-bit high price tag we could never pull the trigger. So you can imagine our joy to find that everyone from Mr. Madden to Miuccia are introducing their own versions and each and every one is fit for the queen. Check out some of our top picks below.
Clockwise from top left:
Tods Ballet Flats – $425
Pleaser Peep Toe Oxford – $59.95
Gianmarco Lorenzi Platform Pump – $694
Maison Martin Margiela Peep Toe Booties – $775
Fendi Open Toe Clogs – $690
