if money grew on trees
There are jewels and then there are IT jewels. To celebrate 70 years in the business, Verdura has recreated the iconic Maltese cross cuffs designed by Fulco di Verdura for Coco Chanel. She was so enchanted by its surreal design; she wore them everywhere, one on each wrist, always with effortless elegance.
Only 70 bracelets were made. Each one is adorned with rubies, sapphires and emeralds, making it a true badge of honor. Dream a little dream.

Go urban glam with Matt & Nat’s studded crossbody bag ($185). Crafted of eco-friendly synthetic leather and a lining made from recycled plastic bottles; you can be cutting edge and socially responsible. A little message inside will let you know how many bottles were recycled to produce your arm candy.
A fabulous handbag that contributes to a cleaner environment...it's easy being green!

doll of the month
Twiggy's doe-eyed charm and leggy, androgynous look made her the ideal mannequin for the mod movement of the 60s. School girl dresses and straight shifts worn with tights and Mary Janes became the uniform for swinging London IT girls. My pick for Twiggy: "The Freida Dress" from ModCloth (of course)

fancy pants
Dresses are nice, but slacks add spice! A wide-leg trouser is so glamorous, thank you Katharine Hepburn. They offer freedom of movement and accentuate your shape. You’ll look darling in these navy pants from Y-3 ($255). The cuffed hems lead the way for cork wedge sandals or lace up oxfords.

bag lady
This gorgeous “Gold Coast Lauralee” bag ($265) has all the makings of the infamous Chanel 2.55: quilted luxe leather, opulent gold chain, but it’s Kate Spade (more honest than a cheap Coco knockoff). must have.

bathing beauty
The bathtub is where a glamorous girl spends most of her time. It’s my favorite place to kick back and read up on the latest shoe trends, or makeup must haves, while soaking up some serious suds. For Hollywood worthy bubbles, my latest obsession is Molton Brown “ultrasmooth coco de mer" bath and shower ($28). It is a refreshing cocktail of coconut fruit extract and honey; leaves my skin feeling soft and supple and my mind at ease. Time to tub! 6.4.10
