Perfection.

I was looking around the internet looking for inspiration, and came across this website called Bona Drag.  They have some really great pieces on there!! I fell in love with most all of the jewelry, but this piece was the most eye catching, beautiful piece I've seen lately.  It is made of vermeil chain which is quite delicate and then crocheted to create an open, fingerless glove.  It resembles the texture of a shredded t-shirt, which I LOVE.  It's tough but delicate and comes in oxidized gold and silver.  The designer, Arielle de Pinto, is from Canada and has an array of beautiful designs and artwork.

Arielle de Pinto Vermeil Fingerless Glove

Bona Drag $1725

This glove is absolutely a converstational piece.  It can be worn with a simple silhouette as a focal piece, layered with other jewelry, worn with a bold pattern to add irony, or worn on just special occasions.  The price point is definately high, but for something this special, the sky's the limit.

Queen of the Night

As I have mentioned time and time again, ZINK Magazine is one of my favorite sources of inspiration.  The styling of their shoots are so aspirational and unique.  This spread, Queen of the Night, is a beautiful marriage of some of my favorite things: androgynous with feminine touches, ethnic influences with a harder edge, lots of texture, dark and neutrals, and lots and lots of jewelry.  The sequined touches and rich jewelry makes this spread a great holiday look for girls who want to have the extra sparkle with loads of irony to the season.  The head pieces add a theatrical element to the look that makes it editorial, but mixing the combination of other pieces can translate to everyday life.  Accessories can add the right amount of color and contrast to a look without being overpowering.  The colorful necklace of bangles in the second shot is chunky and bright, but balances the headpiece and other textures in the look.
