Lenny Kravitz for CB2

If you haven't heard.....Rockstar, Lenny Kravitz is now a designer & has teamed up with CB2 to launch a super chic home collection! Exciting! I've been waiting for this & have to say this collaboration was a great idea on CB2's part.  I mean, I've been dying to see more edgy & brassy-gold elements & BAM.... it's Lenny's new stuff!! -   I gathered some of my faves like this amazing Rake Brass chair designed with Lenny & this
Icelandic Sheepskin stool with gold legs (not from his collection but, OMG!)  

If this collection doesn't give your home a CHIC & edgy feel, I don't know what will. I DEF have to visit CB2 as son as we get back from our vacation! 

I should be updating mostly on my instagram from our vacation, have a great weekend!

KELLY BELLO DESIGN

As many of you may know, I tend to drift toward rings & necklaces when it comes to jewelry. So, when Kelly Bello offered one of her fantastic pieces I opted for a necklace. However, I wanted something that would represent my family. So, I requested 3 necklaces with each letter (J,N,M).  They wrote me back & said they could try something different like putting all the letters on one chain.

Oh!! Well, I loved that idea even more!!! I was the first to get this beautiful & dainty necklace. It's called the mini-triple letter necklace, but I call it my family necklace.  It's made of 14K gold & has a 16" chain, the perfect length in my opinion. For you couples with no kids...yes, they also have the double-letter one too! - I love this brand, because like myself Kelly is a Hispanic entrepreneur & is based out of NYC.

Below are a few of my favorite pieces. That square with pearl ring, so luxurious don't you think??

Anthropologie has got the gold

I love visiting Anthropologie here on the Upper East side in NYC  - they always have a great selection of unique items. Even though I'm not too fond of their home section, I did see some items that I really think would suit my taste. They've added some a nice selection of home decor with gold accents, & you know how I feel about gold right??  LOVE it.  So, here are my top favorite pieces from Anthro.  

Are you ready? Which of these is your fave?

Trend: The Name Necklace

Were you around in the 80's?!?  If you said YES, then I'm sure you remember the popular personalized name necklaces that just about every teenage girl wore. And, they were so pricey!!

I was waaaaay too young & NOT cool enough to wear these - but all the older girls at my school definitely had them.  I knew one day I'd own one, but had no idea it would be in 2013. 

Just to give you a little history, these name necklaces have been spotted on popular celebrities from Rhianna to Madonna. But the most iconic name necklace gal has to be Sarah Jessica Parker wearing her 'Carrie' necklace on Sex & the City! She revived the trend & made it popular - so once again, EVERY girl has to have one with her name on it!  Not only can you buy one with your name, but you can gift one to your best friend, or wear one with your daughter's name & so on! Get creative.

You can now buy these wanna-be Carrie Bradshaw necklaces made of 18k GOLD plated over Sterling silver at MADE BY GIRL.

I'm Diggin' Jonathan Adler

The newest Jonathan Adler catalog came in the mail today & it ROCKS. He's got all these cool brass home decor items & my favorite (by far) is this Etagere from the Jacques Collection. Unreal. If I had the BIG bucks, I'd probably buy it now...


Anyway, truth be told, GOLD is still VERY MUCH in. 
 






So, have you seen the Spring 2013 catalog yet? Which is your favorite Jonathan Adler item?

Frends Headphones

I know you've seen them. The gold headphones that all the COOL girls are rocking on the street.  Well, believe it or not I haven't seen that many people wearing them on the street yet, only my assistant Daisy. I have to say, they're totally cute in person! You can purchase them in several places, however their main site is called Frends. 

I can't say much else about the sound quality because I haven't tried on a pair, but my favorites are the Taylor Gold. They're unique & I think it's about time someone came up with something interesting & girly, instead of us gals having to wear the standard manly-looking headphones. Right??

So, what do you think of these? Would you wear them?

Gift Ideas with Gold Accents

Friday is here. So relieved. I think my back REALLY needs a break from my computer. Know that feeling?

On another note, it's STILL all about gold lately. It's freaking everywhere! When gold became a big hit a couple years ago, it seems I left silver & never looked back. Did you do the same??? 

It seems everything now comes in gold. So, with that said, here are a few suggestions for holiday gifts that are perfect for gold lovers in your life!




 



 You ready to add some gold to your holiday list or someone else's?

GOLD is Sooo In....

Hey you guys, how are you all?? 


My week has been SO stressful, trying to book a place in NYC & getting some airfare amongst other things! But let's get back to the fun stuff.....
 
I LOVE GOLD. BUT, I used to HATE it. Well, when I was in my early 20's I'd only wear silver. Back in my day I used to see gold as LOUD & not-so-classy, but not anymore! In fact, I started wearing gold around the same time Sara Jessica Parker appeared on SATC wearing her gold horseshoe necklace!!! She inspired me.


Now we see it all over... GOLD is in everything these days from home decor, jewelry, wallpaper, artwork & more! In fact it's one of the key colors I use in my paintings on Cocoa & Hearts!


So, it's safe to say, GOLD is very much in trend & I now own more gold than silver jewelry, who knew?!? Some of my favorite gold jewelry this season is by Vince Camuto. Have you seen his newest pieces?!? Oh my gosh! It's super nice & super affordable too!!


 Also, since GOLD is soooo in trend.... I decided it was time to step it up a notch & make some gold LOVE prints as well! Here's another peek!


I briefly mentioned the prints last week & have already received many inquiries & phone calls asking when they'll be available!!! They're HOT! 



Coming soon to Made By Girl.




So what do you think....is Gold hot or not??
