Friday Fancies: Eddie Borgo Bear Trap Bracelet



Stop.  Stop everything you are doing right now.  Do you see what jewelry deliciousness is going on above this copy?  I can hardly breathe this bracelet is so over the top bad ass.  I need a moment of silence to take it all in.  .....................................  Whew - ok I am back.  And ready to gush over the most amazing bracelet of all time.  Well - at least for the next five minutes until something sparkly catches my eye and I am off.  But for now, my love of this bracelet transcends any other current obsession - fashion or otherwise that I may have.  If you are not familiar with Eddie Borgo, you better get acquainted and quick.  His pieces are the quintessential fashion accessory.  Proper in their own right of material and construction, but with a design element worthy of street-cred-edge.  His ever popular cone bracelet has become a collector's piece rubbing elbows with the likes of a good pearl necklace, a classic Hermes Birkin or a pair of Tod's driving loafers.  But for today's piece du jour that will be placed on the A Little Bit etc pedestal is this Bear Trap bracelet.  Never have I been more happy to get my wrist caught in something.  And as if the cuff alone was not worth shedding an overexcited tear over, it comes apart into three separate bracelets that if each worn alone could still illicit a momentary shaking from wonderment.  My adoration for this piece could go on forever, but alas my energy is better spent moving budgetary constrictions around to justify a purchase.  And if you ask me, that is time well spent.

Friday Fancies: Kara Ross Jewelry Love

I don't wear jewelry too often, but when I do, it should make a statement.  A statement that says, "My outfit is friggin awesome because of this piece of jewelry."  Well - I didn't say it would be a refined and articulate statement, now did I?  Either way, I think these Kara Ross pieces fit the mold perfectly.  The colors are universal and will work with most outfits, and the best part is - her pieces are quite affordable.  Flea market/street vendor affordable? No. But definitely not something where you  may need to sell an organ or put in the safe after wearing.  (Seriously, do you have that kind of jewelry? If you do, we totally need to be friends. Like, stat.)  However, you will not find these pieces in stores yet, because they are only available on Moda Operandi, as part of her Resort 2013 collection.  If you are new to Moda Operandi, here is the 411 - it's a virtual trunk show website, where you can reserve pieces from upcoming collections before they hit the stores.  Awesome.  And you pay a portion of the piece immediately, and then they charge you for the rest when the item ships.  More awesome.  Then when it arrives - you run screaming down the street waving the item frantically, shoving the item in people's faces and telling them how you have it before them.  The MOST awesome.
