Introducing: emmanuelle esther

emmanuelle esther makes jewelry and accessory designs that are different from the mainstream, but in a unobtrusive, funky and appreciable way that you can get down with. You know, its kind of like a soft rebellion.

I think I first came across a ring she designed out of yarn and gold featured in French Vogue (might have been Elle), can’t remember point is it was definitely immediately put on my want-it-right-now list!

Take a looks for yourself, I’m sure you’ll agree her accessories collection is just cute as hell!






*Her site is in French, she lives in NICE, but send her an email, I mean everyone speaks Englsih these days :)

Gerard Darel handbags, the new ‘It bag’?


Is it just me, or does it seem like every other celebrity these days is carrying a Gerard Darel handbag? Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba just to name a few.

At first glance you wouldn’t see anything special in the style or construction of these big ‘carry alls’; you’d probably even think that it’s just a simple everyday bag that can add a punch of color( the colored versions are the most popular- but I love the brown bags) to your outfit while carrying a mass of stuff.

But, Oh there so much more, like the fact that they are French made – I don’t mean to sound snobbish, but they’re main showroom is right down the street from my apartment on Rue Reaumur and I always pass by starry eyed and all ( most wishing i had the super power to suck clothing through glass walls! …patehtic, I know, but so much fun!) – I have to post a pic of it later.

They’re using Charlotte Gainsbourg( daughter of French Singer/Icon Serge Gainsbourg) as their new model in their ads.
