Jewel Kids Are Cool Kids
Here’s something that happens a lot in New York:
You get an invitation to a party, and you say, “Yeah, I’ll go,” because you’re sort of friends with the girls on the invitation. You have no expectations of anything fun, at all, and you plan a 15 minute drive-by before allowing yourself to run home, make tea, watch Gossip Girl (even if it’s a rerun).
But then you show up, bump into a ton of friends, see guys who are actually cute and social and not in a band (a weakness, I confess). And you stay at the party you dreaded to attend for hours.
That’s basically what happened last night, when someone slipped an invite for Lizzie Fortunato jewels under my door. It said the fete was hosted by Annabelle Dexter Jones, the little sister of Charlotte / Samantha / Marc Ronson, and someone who’s genuinely awesome. So I went, thinking I’d air kiss and be done, but I was stopped in my tracks by this great jewelry by Lizzie herself. In the words of our fashion news expert, Rajni, “you can wear it with jeans and a t-shirt and automatically have an outfit” - a big bonus when you roll out of bed and literally pick your outfit off the floor.
To the left is designer Lizzie and her sister, Kathryn. And below are some of my favorite pieces - plus a photo of Annabelle herself. After all, if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have crashed into my crush at a party I was meaning to skip (no way, not telling who).
PS: Fashion Gossips - Phillip Lim asked to see their look book… runway speculations, anyone?
