Somewhere, Over the Rainbow...



Ever feel like taking the day off and just throwing on flip flops? These Rainbow Sandals are perfect for the occasion because they are not only easy to wear but also super comfy. Forming to the mold of your feet, these nylon and leather flip flops are by far the most cozy sandals out there. You can buy them now at the Tilly's website.

Lace Luxe


Black flats are crucial this season (see Back to Basics). These Dolle Black Suede Flats by Steve Madden have an adorable lace pattern that stands out from every angle. These darling shoes are girly enough to look super cute with a fun dress and edgy enough to work with skinny jeans and a bold sweater. For a limited time they are reduced from $79.95 to $39.98 on the Steve Madden website. Enjoy!

Located on 272 Sutter St. in San Francisco, California, Torso is an amazing vintage clothing store that has been collecting timeless clothing, shoes, and accessories for 20 years. Torso works with celebrity stylists, and shows off favorite pieces in annual trunk shows in LA and New York.

His favorite pieces include a black and pink Scaasi velvet dress from the 60s (second picture), a gorgeous gold Terri Millar dress (third picture), a yellow and gold beaded original 60s dress (fourth picture), and a purple Oscar de la Renta drop back dress (fifth picture). The oldest piece in the store is an extremely beautiful costume piece from the late 1800s (last picture). For more vintage clothing and accessories from Torso, visit 1stDibs.com.

Wellendorff Jewelry








Behind one of Germany's most successful luxury goods corporations is the renowned jewelry company Wellendorff. Founded in 1893, the company has seen four generations of Wellendorffs. I had the amazing opportunity to meet the charming Mr. Cristoff Wellendorff, today's generation of the fabulous jewelry enterprise. Their jewlery designs are not only recognized in Germany, but also known all over the world, from the United States to Russia and Asia. Wellendorff has developed its own unique style and annually presents a new, gorgeous limited edition collection. This year he presented his Chocolate Collection (whose name was inspired by his nine year-old daughter) in Victors Palace at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco on November 5. The stunning Sugarkiss Ring (last picture) is my favorite. It consists of roughly 3.3 carats of diamonds, in two eternity type bands, which are connected yet revolve clockwise and counter clockwise. While having the unique opportunity to try on each piece in this latest collection, I was enticed by the luxurious beauty, sensual softness, and comfortable wear-ability of his jewelry. It is jewelry you will not want to take off! For more on Mr. Wellendorff and his sensational collection, please visit the Wellendorff website. I would like to personally thank Christoff Wellendorff, owner of Wellendorff Jewelry, and Richard Horn and Danelle Lateur of Shreve and Co. for allowing me to attend their magnificent event "It must be Something Wonderful" at Victors Palace.
