Designer Crave: Tom Binns

Black and Pearlised White Paint Veil of Shadows Earrings
Tom Bins colorful jewelry has that perfect mix of eclectic and classic. Jewelry designer, Tom Bins and CEO Viera Newton, started Tom Binns in 2004 and was quickly recognized for his use of color and unique jewelry design, inspired by his interest in combining elegance and anti-conformist sentiment. Today, celebrities such as Beyonce, Cate Blanchett, Michelle Obama, and Lady Gaga are wearing Bins jewelry. (ABOVE) "Black and Pearlised White Paint Veil Of Shadows Earrings" have that classic look, with the black crystal, and chandelier shape. The earrings have a modern touch with the white stones and turquoise. (BELOW 1) Play with color with these, "Orange Soft Power Pastel and White Crystal Teardrop Earrings" they will give your look a color kick. The colors of the earrings are what make the piece feel current. (BELOW 2) This "Orange and Green Electro Clash Nova Semi Circle Gradiated Earrings", is a great piece to pair with an all black look. I love how the colors sort of fade into each other. (BELOW 3) A great pair of "Gold Bent Nail Voila Earrings". The earrings are very unique. They not only remind me of a nail, but also a cuff link. Is Tom Binns your Designer Crave?

BAD's Must Haves: Aug 8, 2013


I absolutely love these Lim loafers. They have a very modern, sleek look. Can I compare them to stainless steel appliances (hehe)? These loafers are mega statements pieces. I'm constantly talking about how each look should have a statement piece. These shoes are the mackdaddy's of statement pieces! Shoes this serious should be paired with a pair of pants. They have that menswear feel, and would overpower a dress. A black skinny pant, with a feminine blouse would look hot! Those heels are putting me in a trance! 

Wear This With The Loafers:




I absolutely love this McCartney bag. The bag has this perfect combination of modern, and classic. From the side view, you can see that this bag is superiorly made. My favorite part about this bag is the embossed chain. It brings a bit of pop and uniqueness to the bag. I see this bag being paired with an at the knee fitted dress. However, a more flirty dress could look cool with this bag. 

Wear This With The Bag:



I absolutely love these Dannijo earrings. They such a fresh, summer feel. Part of me wants to welcome in fall, however, seeing pieces like this make me cry that summer is coming to an end. I like that not only are the colors of the earrings to die for, but also the different shapes of the crystals. I see these earrings being worn with a multitude of pieces. You can wear them with a white, summer dress. You can wear them with a more refined dinner gown, or you can wear them with a T-shirt and jeans. 

Wear This With The Earrings:



I absolutely love this Kenzo bracelet. It's the perfect piece for that punk rock look you've been wanting to wear. It's a modern piece, that I sort of wish also came as a belt. I really like the silver tone "K". This piece is screaming to be paired with a pair of either boyfriend jeans or skinny jeans. For the top, I'd pair the bracelet with a graphic tee. Something loud and cool. Converse, a pair of Supra's, or heels would bring it all together.

Today's Must Have: May 4, 2012


I am absolutely loving these Erickson Beamon earrings. The combination of crystals, and gold is breathtaking. They are so perfect for any occasion, as they will add the right amount of kick to any look. Wear a black dress with these beauties, pair the look with a great clutch and pumps and you are set to conquer the night! What do you think?

Wear That Space: Retro Modern

http://domino.com
Hair Colorist, Rita Hazen's beautiful New York Living Room is designed by Nate Berkus. The space was featured in the latest Domino magazine (yes they're back, so happy!) The space features many vintage pieces such as the arm chairs and coffee table. However, these vintage pieces work together to create a modern living space. I'm a huge fan of using fan of using brass in a space and love how Nate Berkus brought brass into this space. The brass opens up the space and gives the room a touch of glitter. When I was selecting some fashion picks, I wanted to focus on the colors, shapes, and style of the space. Much gold, blues, and black, as well as pieces that have both a modern, yet vintage look and feel. Would you wear that space?
