While I was away, my email inbox turned into more of a jewel box with gorgeous new pieces from various shops. I am still a big fan of anything organic mixed with texture and gilding like necklaces 1, 2, 6 and 9.

1. Double Quartz Crystal Crescent Necklace

2. Resin Crystal Crescent Necklace in Bronze

3. 8 feathers neckpiece

4. Betty Carre 1 carat diamond ring {this looks real!}

5.Nested ring set

6. Amethyst necklace

7. Elephant Belt

8. Gold floral branch cuff

9. Tourmaline necklace

I’m smitten for this set of 8 vintage ombre glasses in a caddy. These would be gorgeous displayed on a bar. Beautiful & functional.

{Green} with envy

Watching the parade of emerald dresses down the red carpet at Sunday’s Golden Globes has me all green with envy.

Remember Keira Knightley in Atonement? I have always loved emerald, and particularly when it appears in small doses…

…like this shot of emerald on the velvet chaise, and the hint of it on that curtain.

Some pretty accessory pieces that would be just the right dose of this color…

…And I found a glass emerald perfume bottle this weekend up in CT at Papyrus when I popped in to buy a card. It does not seem to be on their website or anywhere else online, but it’s so beautiful in person, and only $14 on sale if you can find one in a store near you.

There are so many beautiful pieces in jewelry this fall to check out. I especially love all the mixing of materials like chains, mesh, rhinestones, faceted stones and clusters making the look both edgy and glam. As Rachel Zoe would say, “It’s kinda major.”

Here are a few ideas of where to {stash} all these pretty jewels.
