Jewelry Inspiration: Ranjana Khan

Sonia and I walked into Bendel’s last week and I stumbled across some beautiful sparkling creations from Ranjana Khan. Although I had heard of her, the wife of famed fellow designer Naeem Khan, I googled her work as soon as I got home to discover loads of precious stone and jeweled collage necklaces and pendants, bracelets and earrings. A longtime lover of mixed media, I am immediately drawn to how rugged and luxe each piece is, which makes them completely compatible with a LBD or a tee and jeans. Most of the decoration is hand sewn onto cut out leather pieces, which directly contrasts to how much sparkle emanates from the jewels. I am completely smitten with these pieces, and I definitely hope to incorporate a bit of her eclectic style into my own Stefanie Marie pieces in the future!

Fashion Friday: Bright Red & Pure White

I am interrupting my regularly scheduled Friday programming of Fashion Profiles to bring to you a current color obsession: Bright Red and Pure White. This timeless color pattern first struck me when Jessica of Tuula wore a striking red and white skirt/dress combo on her blog, and since then I have been scouring high and low for simple and classic ways to bring this color combo into my wardrobe. How powerful and chic is this color combo?
