Up and Coming Jewelry Designer: Katharine Sise

Still wearing your Tiffany sterling silver bean/starfish/heart necklace? Ever feel like everyone is still wearing a sterling silver bean/starfish/heart necklace? Well they probably are, and you have the exact same jewelry as every girl on the 6 train. Boring!

This season is about mixing feminine elements with a little creative edge, and breaking out of that cookie cutter look. Good thing I’ve recently discovered jewelry designer Katharine Sise, who happens to be my friend’s sister, and a rising star in the eclectic jewelry world. Katharine had a sample sale recently where I picked up two gorgeous charm necklaces, one in gold and one in silver. Her necklaces combine delicate crystal charms and pearls with skulls, bats, antique lockets, and maybe a starfish thrown in for good luck (they are pretty adorable).

Katharine Sise’s entire collection is at
Katharine Sise and I’ll let everyone know when her next sample sale is, just in time for the Christmas season!

Gracefully Fabulous


Grace Kelly was one of original Fabulous Girls who still inspires other fabulous girls even 25 years after her death. I would kill to get my hands on her Rear Window wardrobe! Nipped waist, tea length, black velvet, the pinnacle of black and white glamour. Fortunately, I can at least get pretty close to it, when this week a collection of her clothes and movie dresses will be on display at Sotheby's in New York. So pull on the long white gloves, find your Hermes Kelly purse (or the best knockoff) and stroll glamorously down to Sotheby's!
P.s. The rumor is even her wedding dress is on display!
