Sydney Evan Jewelry

 A little piece of Rosanne Karmes good karma


Yesterday I found my way over to Bergdorf Goodman for the Sydney Evan custom charm and bead event, and had the pleasure of meeting designer Rosanne Karmes, the woman behind the wildly popular fine jewelry line.  

I first discovered Rosanne’s gorgeous, delicate and whimsical designs last year at this time, while searching for jewelry for my wedding day. I was immediately drawn to Sydney Evan, as all the pieces spoke to me in an elegant, timeless, and understated way. I settled on her evil eye bracelet and I’ve never taken it off.

 Rosanne designs pieces that you want to live in; when you look down on your wrist or graze your fingertips against the encouraging words on your necklace it brings you positivity, protection, and for the superstitious, luck. Meeting Rosanne only gave me more reason to want to wear her lucky charms. She is the physical embodiment of her designs: a positive presence, kind, and genuinely interested in the women who wear her jewelry. She's a role model as well, never having financial help to start and grow her business, she did it all on her own.

 Rosanne makes a conscious effort to price her trend setting designs more reasonably than her fellow competitors, not because the pieces are worth any less, but because she wants the jewelry to be attainable to the women she designs for so that her valued customers can purchase the jewelry for themselves.


One of my favorite charms from the new collection :-)

Spring Trend: The Bomber Jacket | NYC Fashion Blogger Samantha Angelo


The sporty look of the bomber jacket is taking over this Spring...if the season of rebirth and renewal ever arrives that is...


I'm digging the polished look of a sleek light weight bomber (silk or jacquard) paired with a feminine skirt.

Stella McCartney is killing it with this lovely Pink Python Jacquard Bomber with matching skirt, exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman. 

Favorite bomber of the season - This jacket incorporates two of the hottest trends this spring, bomber and python. 
 We're totally borrowing the bomber from the boys, making this feminine and tailored ensemble that much more unexpected and fresh.

 Personally, I might pair Stella's jacquard bomber with this flowy white leather skirt from Club Monaco, seen below.

Bomber jacket and leather skirt; two pieces that should be quite masculine in theory, yet in reality are re- imagined as ladylike, whimsical, and modern, the perfect surprise.

    A few other stand out bombers of the season are coming from 3.1 Philip Lim (Tattoo Embroidered Organza Jacket) and Scotch and Soda. Philip Lim, taking it to the next level of dainty with this  sheer/transparent tattoo jacket, completely non functional and gorgeous.

Again, this Philip Lim jacket is combining two spring trends into one look, the bomber jacket and the cloth tattoo...as seen on the runway for Maison Martin Margiela.  (Photos courtesy of Style.com)






















 

I just ran out to Scotch & Soda and purchased this silk bomber, just for this post! I saw it a few days ago and they only had one left (not my size). Apparently there are only two of these jackets left nationwide. It's a beautiful bomber, especially for the price point. I'm not sure why they didn't make more of them. For a similar style that's widely available, click here.

























I've noticed a few designers taking the bomber collar and putting it on a over sized/boxy tapestry coat, like Scotch & Soda and Stella McCartney, as seen below.

Stella's version of this type of coat is called the Natural Croc Aiden Coat,  which I've only seen at the Soho store. Here's a similar Stella jacket called the Amelia Croc Jacquard Cady-Sleeve Varsity Jacket.

 And for the gentlemen I found a cool reversible bomber by J. Lindeberg, for work and play.

 For a pop of color try this red suede bomber by J. Lindeberg, as seen on Bradley Cooper.

You may not want to preemptively buy any of these jackets for your spring wardrobe, as it seems there is a good chance we're going into another ice age.

Until then, we'll keep dreaming of Spring...
