the waterfall necklace for spring/summer 2010

For those new to my blog, you may not be familiar with these tribal necklaces. I thought it would be a great time to (re)introduce them for spring. They are hand made by the T'boli tribal women in the Philippines – the longer ones take up to two weeks to complete. It's made of tiny beads and stitched together with thread. I'm loving the whole tribal chic trend that is still very hot this year. This is the real deal. Every time I wear mine (esp. the 8-layer version) I get stopped, I get comments. Both my sisters (my models below) will tell you the same thing.

Please let me know if you're interested! I take payments via Paypal and I can ship anywhere (shipping fees vary).

Pricing:

Long (8-layer) $50

Tribal pattern with bells $35

Short (3-layer) $35

The colors shown are what I have at the moment. I may be able to get more but not for at least a month. I also have a chocolate brown one in the long (8-layer) version available as well. I will sell at a first come, first serve basis. Note: since these are handmade, there are slight differences between each necklace. I am taking color requests for my next shipment ASAP. The tribal ladies make what they want to make – I have no say in the matter ;) So hopefully I can get it for you. View some of the colors that I've sold in the past here.

**UPDATE** I'm sold out of the yellow 8-layer necklaces and I have a red one coming. The other colors are still available. First come, first served.

a score and a dream

The arrival of spring brings me endless inspiration. It's sunny outside and New York is looking oh so stylish again after the desire for style took a nap following multiple grey, snowy episodes. For the first time in many months, I'm wearing one of my safari shirt dresses (with worn-in boots –sans tights)! I couldn't be happier. Below are two things to start me off:

How great is this Twosome ring by Erica Anenberg? I scored it via the waitlist on Gilt Groupe on a barely legal discount. It's my new badass-meets-lady ring. I love contradictions.

In other news, these gorgeous Ipswich Brogues by Rachel Comey (via Le Train Bleu) are too expensive for me to buy. But a girl can dream...

melissa clemente

Melissa Clemente is a jewelry designer, fellow Filipino-Canadian friend who is based in Toronto. Above are my favorite pieces of hers. Various forms of Filipino costuming, folk dance and mythology are referenced in her work. Certain pieces definitely feel tribal with an added (very) modern twist. I love the use of natural materials. Her pieces are sculptural, unique, very provocative and very sexy. Not for the faint of heart. They are often asymmetrical too. Most pieces can be worn a number of ways. This allows for the wearer to put their own personal stamp on it as well. 

She's got an Etsy shop and for local Brooklynites, a store called Serimony on Court St. carries her work.
