Gather round, and let me tell you a story. As the best stories do, this one begins with a friend i met in college. She only went to my school for a year, before abandoning me for the far more awesome city of Austin, but while she was there I lived in awe of her genius taste in music, her super-glamorous vintage style, and her all-around vibe. Seriously, this chick speaks like five languages, and routinely sends me pictures from her travels round the world. Now lo these many years later, she’s living in New York and working as a fashion designer. In addition to being an awesome woman all around, this girl is super ridiculously hella talented, and she’s recently launched her own jewelry line called Suzanna Dai. It’s inspired by old-school glamour, world travels, with a vintabe vibe and insane detailing.
Seriously. Check this gorgeousness out:
The Monte Carlo collection
From the Corfu collection
And my personal favorite: Kathmandu.
I mean, honestly. Insanely dramatic and gorgeous, right? (I may or may not have mentioned that i have a wee obsession with peacock feathers.) But, really –how ridiculously hot would that necklace look with, say … Taraji P. Henson’s delicious Oscar gown??
