Chicago Accessory Designer K.Amato is Golden

Dear Fashionistas,

When we say the "icing on the cake" we don't mean it literally as in "frosting".  It is the key and last item to complete your ensemb.  With Chicago native Kristen Amato paving the way with stylish jewelry, you can be certain this is just the piece you need.   

The pieces are accented by gold-filled chains, turquoise stones, delicate gold leaves, feminine filigree drops and hammered geometric shapes; K Amato jewelry offers the perfect blend of fashion-forward yet classic pieces for every wardrobe and every season. Featured in magazines including: Vogue, Lucky, People and U.S. Weekly.  This affordable line has captured even a few celebrities such as Eva Longoria and Rachel Ray.  

Our favorite part however is not the Suh-weeeet prices but the names of the pieces which are named after the streets in the windy city.

Cutting-edge Chicago designer Asia Borycka is considered one of the rising stars in Jewelry design. Avaasi is the brand on everyones lips and creating an evolution in Europe, New York and Chicago. Her collection is edgy but wearable. Some of my favorite pieces are the draped chains pictured above, made with crystal quartz on an antique copper chain.  The dramatic image below is from a Avaasi feature in Dilemma Magazine in Poland.   These pieces are made to compliment a women's figure and definitely make a statement.

With an established roster of clients and growing, Asia is consistently innovating her design process. Be sure to check out her website www.Avaasi.com for the full collection.  The earrings are simply amazing too.  I just want one of each please.  You can also find the Avaasi collection At Sofia Vintage on Oak Street and Elements on wells.

Accessories that make you or break you

Dear Fellow Fashionistas,
