as i've said before, when it's blisteringly hot out, i like to keep cool by icing off with buckets of bling. well today ~ once again ~ this trick is working for me! it's practically 100 degrees out, and hence too hot for copious clothes, but thanks to a double dose of crystal-lite jewels i don't feel under-dressed.
hot or not, lucite bangles are a standby of mine. i've collected them for years ~ i love how they're quite airy, but add a lot of look. when they're not on my arm, i stack them around tall, tapered silver candlesticks on my dressing table ~ it's a charming storage solution!
speaking of standbys, this necklace is sure to be a style stalwart for some chic shrimpton couture client. without a hint of hyperbole, i reckon it could revolutionize a wardrobe! it could transform a tired t-shirt to totally tasteful, a boring business suit to serious splendor, or a classic cocktail dress into a dream-boat dazzler...
okay, okay... speaking as the girl who is really reluctant to give it up, i admit i might not be the most impartial judge. but just like the old joke about cold poles, it's true that if you get too close to the ice, you might get stuck... and i can't let go!

Oh I would kill for those bangles too! I am a sucker for clear lucite anything. Love the combination.
hmm yes i think you have the right idea here with using the jewelry version of ice to combat the heat. who needs bottles of cold water when you can wear a gorgeous mish-mash of vintage crystals?
i'm really loving your shoes today! they remind me of some givenchys i've been eyeing. how is the comfort level? i always hear mixed things about oh deer.
@ theowlsarenotwhattheyseem: the comfort level is impressive! I definitely recommend these shoes ~ i've won them all day long without pain. it's funny, but nearly every time i've worn them a friend of mine decides to buy a pair for herself! they sell themselves ;)

I love your style! I recently discovered your blog and I have to say your aesthetic is really unique and, obviously, glamouros.
I LOVE the bangles. Wish I had some right now. Like big rings of ice around your wrists. And boy is it hot!!
Those shoes also look great on you. Fantastic.
i couldn't agree more...that necklace is a stunner!
you look fabulous in the dress and heels!
A truly fab ensemble, due, yes, mostly to the necklace! (Not that anythings wrong with the rest of your outfit, but that necklace is such a stunner!)
Love lucite anything! Your bangles are gorgeous, and the new necklace so beautiful! You look fab as always ;)

Love your bandage dress and your own necklace -beautiful piece!
It's amazing what accessories can do. I marvel at your ability to take anything up about 10 notches.
Beautiful necklace. =D
Your jewelry is absolutely gorgeous, and I love that dress!
Hi Glamourai! So sorry for that, pls disregard my previous comments. i have accidently pasted a copied comments for Hanh on my clipboard (i usually saves them before posting, in the event of comments submission failure, it always happened to me). Really sorry.. My actual message reads: H&M Bondage Dress + Elizabeth&James Sleeveless Blazer looks amazing! Great idea and a perfect combo :) Love your mature look & stylishness. Shoes are superb! And your accessories are always a compliment to your outfit, as always. i have also collected many bangles over the years and some are also lucite. i would be grateful if a jewelry guru like you could share with us all here on bangles storage solution as for me, i am having whole lot of hard time on its storage and the bangles are coming in more & more (he he, its hard to resist temptations while shopping.) .i am basically out of idea on how to keep them, each time they kept on falling of the hook of the jewelry hanger (sigh). i hope you could share with me some tips.. And, lastly do drink lots of lots of water & keep yourself hydrated always, the weather is hot out there :) Take care & look forward to your new post..
you have such fab shoes!
