FORMA

Stumped as to what to give the ladies in your life this holiday season? I think I may have found a fabulous solution for you. I just stumbled across the Etsy store 'FORMA' which sells gorgeous, unique geometric jewelry pieces that are as chic as they are timeless. Personally, I am majorly in love with the gold fan necklace and the gold minimalistic bangles. Which would you pick?

BLACK, WHITE AND GLITTERY

As winter starts to insinuate itself here in New York and a new year sets in, I find myself itching for things that keep it simple and get the job done. Though I have a perpetual love affair with any- and everything bright and colorful, there is something about January that makes me want to reach for that one chic and subtle failsafe in my closet (or cabinet!) that I know will always look great. More often than not, that surefire option involves black and white, gold and/or geometric pattern.

So here is a tidy little round up of things that are both lust list-worthy, practical and timeless. Perfect for a housewarming gift, Valentine's Day present, or just because!

1 ///// Yoshimoto Cube, MoMA Store, $65
2 ///// Lightweight Merino Wool Shawl Black Polka Dot, Virginia Johnson, $13
3 ///// Midas Collection Glassware, Design Within Reach, $42-$70
4 ///// Nylon Stripe Chad Laptop Bag, Kate Spade, $338
5 ///// Gemma Hatch Bowl, Crate & Barrel, $5.95
6 ///// Stephan & Co. Metal Bangle Seven Pack, Madewell, $38*
7 ///// Gold Flecks Tank, Anthropologie, $89.95
8 ///// Pyramid Post Earrings, Madewell, $18*

*Madewell, a new discovery of mine, has the best (and most reasonably priced!) jewelry. I would love (hint, hint) to see either of these things show up on my doorstep sometime.
