Updated Friendship Bracelets from Max & Chloe May 17th, 2011 By

We’ve been seeing the updated friendship bracelet everywhere from runways to street style pictures.  We’ve picked friendship bracelets from Max & Chloe that are much more  glamourous than the ones we wore in grade school! These Max & Chloe friendship bracelets are encrusted with rhinestones, use fun textiles, but are just as fabulous as we remember them.

Hippie Chic March 1st, 2011 By

 

If there’s one era of fashion that’s been calling out to me lately, it’s definitely the hippie era as defined by the late ’60s and early ’70s.  Aside from the fact that I completely chickened out when it came to chopping my waist-length hair (long story, but I went in wanting Olivia Palermo’s new bob and left with a trim and a donation to Locks of Love), I’ve been relishing everything else the era has to offer. 

So, with newfound appreciation for my long locks, I’m committing to everything boho: including ’70s inspired jeans, ’70s inspired accessories, and our newest picks from our Hippie Chic boutique.  Below are a few of my favorite pieces out right now:

Holiday Wish List November 20th, 2010 By

I’m feeling thankful for a lot of things these days, and it has really put me in the holiday spirit.  Today I’ll be shopping for  all of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes to make sure the fridge is stocked and ready for the big day.  My family has a tradition where we all get together really early the day of Thanksgiving and prepare the meal together.  This way, we get to catch up and have some laughs while we cook, drink, eat and celebrate.

In the meantime, I’ve started making a list of people I’d like to remember this holiday season.  I also couldn’t help but notice a few things I’ve been eyeing for myself…

 

1. Wild Side Photo Frames, set of 3 $54 from Home Decorators Collection
2. Moyna Antik Clutch, $165 from Calypso
3. Burberry Mega Check Wrap, $450 from Saks Fifth Avenue
4. Foley & Corinna Disco City Bag, $198 from CUSP
5. Papillon Dog Charm, $19 at Amazon Marketplace
6. Eiffel Tower Ornament, $28 from Nordstrom
7. Kenneth Jay Lane Bow Earrings, $55 from Macy’s
8. Votivo Red Current Candle, $25 from The Picket Fence

The Jewel Box: Max & Chloe June 7th, 2010 By

I was recently searching for jewelry on beso when I came across some colorful pieces from New York retailer Max & Chloe.  They have an amazing selection of pendant necklaces and leather bracelets that are great for layering.  I tend to flock toward gold in the summer, and these designs feel fresh and young. 

Many of these pieces have meaning – bringing peace, love, protection, or even healing to its wearer.  While it may be simple superstition, I think we could all use a little help bringing positive energies into our busy and often hectic lives.  Here are some of my favorites:

1. This initial necklaceis a fun way to personalize your look.  Get your own initial, or even wear the initial of a loved one. The blue topaz bead brings a pop of color, which is very complementary with the gold tone.

 

2. Ever heard of jewelry with healing powers?  The three semiprecious hematite beads on this necklace are said to bring intuition and healing to the wearer.  There are also versions for true love, self-esteem, prosperity and hope, and patience and virtue. Plus, these necklaces are just too pretty to pass up (also makes for a wonderful gift).

3. This thin leather bracelet with the evil eye charm is from Ettika. The line has so many adorable options it was hard for me to choose my favorite, but I went for the evil eye to ward off evil and to protect. 

4. This beaded bracelet also caught my eye.  The peace sign is simple, chic and current.

5. Max & Chloe also sells astrological sign pendant bracelets from Ettika. This one is inscribed with “Leo” and the dates ”July 23- August 23.”  I love the rough-edged gold pendent with the etching, as it gives a very organic feel to the piece.
