Lust Object: Deepa Gurnani Jewelry (And Headpieces)

November 18, 2014

I'm actually not really one for statement necklaces or big, spangly earrings - I tend to go for piled-on bracelets and rings - but for Deepa Gurnani's line, I'd make an exception. The detailed necklaces with unique color combinations are spectacular…but even better, maybe, are the headbands: they're more fancy than festival, and would be the perfect foil for a simple dress this holiday season.

Oh, yes: and these? Are earmuffs.

Are they warm? I have no idea. But "warm" seems kind of besides the point in this case.

Secret (And Scented) Garden

November 15, 2014

With BrunchCritic Founder (and fellow wreath-wearer) Andrea Pappas

Talk about a magical night.

To celebrate the launch of several new scents from eco-luxe brand Caldrea - Basil Blue Sage, Lavender Pine, Ginger Pomelo, and Pear Blossom Agave - the rooftop at Gramercy Park was transformed into what I can only describe as a wonderland. We're talking jewelbox rooms filled with rose blossoms, lavender vines trailing from ceilings, palm trees filled with fairy lights arching overhead, and guests wandering through it all with blossom wreaths twined through their hair.

A Party Dress For All Your Holiday Everythings

November 13, 2014

Q. I need recommendations for the perfect holiday party dress...I want to buy one dress that's classy yet festive, and that I can wear to multiple parties this season!

- M

A. If I were investing in just one dress for the duration of the holiday season, I'd go with a beautifully cut fire-engine red style. You can wear it with booties and a leather jacket for more casual events and with your best jewelry for more formal events…and no matter how you accessorize it, you'll be "that girl in the red dress," which is always a nice thing to be.
