Wish List: Archive Jewelry

If you haven't already guessed I'm pretty big on accessories and much like Olivia Palermo I have a soft spot for jewelry, I covet her job at Elle. Whenever I come across a spread in a magazine and something catches my eye I immediately become obsessed and go on a search for the piece, so is the case with a certain necklace spotted about a month ago.

May I present: Archive Jewelry, the creation of twins Nicole and Amber Sutton. At first glance its obvious that the pieces are works of art, each one as unique as the girl they are meant to be worn by, but it is the list of materials that make you take a second look at the line.

The girls took a literal interpretation of "one person's trash is another's treasure" and decided to use,

"repurposed architectural pieces, curios & found objects mixed with eco-friendly brass castings, base metal chains and chic crystal strands reminiscent of paste jewelry of a bygone era."

Each piece has history and after the girls take it to their LA studio and turn it into something new it then takes on a completely different meaning for someone else.

Shop:
1. Archive Jewelry Vintage address number bracelet, $67
2. Archive Jewelry Queen stone chain, $130
3. Archive Jewelry Arrow necklace, $58
4. Archive Jewelry "Buona fortuna" 4-leaf clover necklace, $72

Welcome Home

Welcome to Valley of the Dolls! Spring is in full swing and now that I'm all settled into my job as an intern I thought it would be a great time to start my first blog. I'm going to share things that I love and hopefully they bring some inspiration to you.

In order to get to know me you should probably know a few things, the most important thing is that I'm very selective with fashion and I adore jewelry and accessories. I don't really have time to put together over-the-top outfits but I will make time to choose the right necklace or ring. I've recently purchased this ring and needless to say my anticipation for the small package is the inspiration behind this post. I'm not sure if its always the best decision for celebrities to start their own line however I've fallen for Nicole Ritchie's House of Harlow 1960. Each piece is perfect for planning an entire outfit around and not too bad on the bank account. Here are my favorites from the collection.

1. House of Harlow 1960 Horseshoe Stacking Ring, $25
2. House of Harlow 1960 Mini Key Necklace, $48
3. House of Harlow 1960 Feather Earrings, $72
4. House of Harlow 1960 Leather Stack Bangle with Stones, $114
