Lele Sadoughi

Jewelry Crush: Lele Sadoughi + Melinda Maria

It's been a while since I've fallen in love with a jewelry designer's entire collection or majority thereof.  A few factors usually come into play when this happens.

  1. I'm drawn in by a single showstopper piece.
  2. This single piece draws me in more to look up the designer and take a look at the entire collection.
  3. The price allows me to move from #1 to #2.

Prior to Lele Sadoughi, it happened with Melinda Maria when I laid eyes on this now discontinued Grecian Ring in Charleston and purchased it on the spot.  

Sadly, I misplaced the ring a couple of years ago and have been pining the loss ever since.  I tried to replace it with a couple of other show-stoppers.  I got close with one, but it is still not my first love.  I wore then ring with every outfit.  Isn't it a beaut?

My back ups were the black version of this one and another similar to this which I wear all the time and do love. In the meantime, I have fallen completely in love with designer Lele Sadoughi.  

I first discovered the designs when they were featured at Brandshop a few months ago in Charlotte.  Since then I have accessorized several clients with the creative, artful designs, and I have drooled over each and every piece for myself.  

I want these amazing (light weight!) earrings in both the blue and brown color options, as well as the coordinating ring

This square abalone ring somewhat reminds me of my Melinda Maria design favorites.

Who doesn't love a golden pagoda?!

And talk about the perfect summer statement necklace!

Shop My Brandshop Picks

The highly anticipated travelling one of a kind shopping roadshow, otherwise known as Brandshop, is going on now in the QC until December 15. Here is my list of Brandshop top picks, but trust me when I say there is oh so much more fab schwag waiting for you to be had! Visit the Brandshop website for deets.

One can never have too many perfect white blouses.  I absolutely adore the drama of this one for holiday or any fab occasion.  

 

This tiered skirt is also amazing! 

 

Animal prints are basically neutrals, because they work with everything.  I love this one and this one for your fun go-to work purse. 

 

I'm never one to shy away from high impact.  Mignonne Gavigan's entire collection always makes a statement, in the very coolest way.  Dip your toe in the water with these dazzlers.

 

What is not to love about this super chic 3-in-1 coat?  Major style and versatility.  

I love the fun pattern on this pomegranate clutch!

 

I always recommend packing a pair of chic flats for my uptown clients who are often required to do a lot of walking from one building to the next. Quilted insole?  Yes please! 

 

Who DOESN'T love a tutu.  After a girlfriend of mine wore one to her birthday party, I then realized this is the ultimate celebratory skirt.  I love the navy for a little more grown up look. 

 

I LOVE great fashion/costume jewelry.  It's got to be unique, different from what you kind find in all these stores.  I think the entire Lele Sadoughi line is fantastic.  I've already sent this ring and these earrings to a client. 

 

White fur in the winter?  Tre Chic!  Especially that topper!
