The Gold Statement Necklace

Fall will be here before we know it, the last bits of summer are almost gone. I’m a little sad about that, because I only took a 10 day vacation, and feel like I didn’t do enough to warrant wearing my summer kaftans. But I love fall, I prefer the cold to the heat and can’t wait to wear my black turtlenecks and cardigans. Lately I have been into costume jewelry made out of recycled materials, dipped in gold. Something about this photo just makes me so happy, I love finding ideas for my own existing wardrobe, and making my next move purchase-wise.

I already have a gold chain necklace by Jenny Bird and plan to add another from Net-a-Porter, along with a bracelet by Martha Calvo. I don’t need earrings, but I am my mother’s daughter and have been eyeballing a pair of pearl studs by Stone And Strand.

I ended up acquiring two different handbags, a Chanel wallet on a chain and an Isabel Marant suede cross-body bag, I don’t count the Cuyana Black Canvas tote bag that houses what the others don’t.

I’m still obsessing over the ladylike handbag by Anine Bing, still haven’t purchased that one.

Here’s to running around chic…..
