Saskia Diez

I came upon Saskia Diez's jewelry through the folks at Azita store, who carry her Pavé collection of bracelets. I love this style that looks like men's watchbands.



I dug a little deeper and found that Saskia is based in Germany and actually just won the "Premium Fashion Award" for best new accessory collection for the FW 2009/10 season at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Berlin. I enjoyed looking through the lookbooks on her site, which are beautifully art directed and really give you a sense of her design aesthetic. Much of Diez's jewelry is actually very simple and feminine, which I never would have guessed from just seeing the watch bracelets.







I LOVE the Boule series made from silver chains and spheres out of ivory, onyx, or sterling silver. You can get a closer look at everything in her webshop.

These pieces remind of the ball ponytail holders I wore as a kid...I called them "boogas" for some reason. This of course got me googling and I found that goody now makes some really rad iridescent black ones....there is a part of me that will never grow up.

You found me

I came across this pic of Camilla Staerk on Streetpeeper looking so epic in her own designs. She has a timeless beauty about her that is only enhanced by her style and grace. Camilla's line Staerk has only been around for a few years but it's always one of the ones I look forward to the most at NYFW.



And how awesome is her huge black bag? I clicked on a tag and found this girl rocking some awesome Staerk booties in Copenhagen. I really dig her whole look too.

Two finger

I've had this Surface to Air two finger ring on my mind for awhile now, so I stopped in Oak yesterday to try it on and it's now mine! The three finger ring was cool in theory, but just not as practical.

The desire to do good

I'm going to have to make a trip to Beacon's to unload some old stuff in order to make room for more t-shirts, like these two I'm considering picking up, both from local labels. The cross tee is by Lola NY, who recently launched the Black Buoy, an online store where their line is sold exclusively along with a few others. Apparently their shirts are super soft and slightly sheer, so it's like skipping ahead about 20 wears...awesome.



The Lies tee is from DQM, which means it's made for the boys but this would look great with an oversized fit.

When I was in Seattle earlier this week, I stopped by Rue Stewart boutique and picked up this pretty Karen Zambos silk dress. Although it's long sleeved, it's very lightweight and airy- perfect for NY spring time!
