Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James
Elizabeth and James jewelry has been getting crazy press lately. The other day I walked by Bloomingdale's on 3rd Ave and saw that Elizabeth and James is featured in every window (two dedicated to the jewelry collection). You can pre-order some of it on Intermix.com and all I can think is WHY THE HYPE?!? Really? Some of the pieces are generically passable but this ring is especially offensive for being $175 and looking like a bellybutton (I am aware we are all sporting belly buttons but one is enough). No hating on Mary-Kate and Ashley I respect their influence and all but I don't see it in their jewelry.


Abraxas Rex for Alexander Wang
Now the collaboration between Alexander Wang and Abraxas Rex (by Brooklyn-based designer Paris Kain) is black-out sex that results in octuplets. I am obsessing over the architectural pieces that put Frank Gehry for Tiffany's to shame. I know Jessica is obsessing over these earrings since she is one of those strange girls that never got her ears pierced. Are there more collaborations in the future between the two? Cause I know I'm ready for the next episode.


Deka Ray
I discovered Deka Ray's jewelry a few years ago down in the Lower East Side. She has done numerous collaborations with designers like Phillip Lim and United Bamboo [keepin' it real in the Asian community] her work has that "I do's it in heels or a crisp pair of Nikes" playful, badass quality.
