Pink toes
Published Monday, May 08, 2006 by elana.
SO. I just listed a few things... some AMAZING belts (this is going to be a killer week for belts!!), some simple enamel jewelry (so understated and pretty!), a black wicker handbag...
I have more to list tomorrow, and I really wanted to get it all up today, but I had a nail appointment that was a long time coming.
Since it's dreary as all get-out here in Philly, I went with a muted Barbie pink (sounds weird, but it looks seriously chic!) on the toes and french on the fingers. I hate anything other than a french manicure or pale, pale pink/white... I like my hands to look clean and polished. I suspect that I will resurrect the love affair with the infamous Chanel Vamp this fall though. It's very sweet on supershort nails, and with all the grey I'm planning on wearing, it should make a nice contrast...

auction info, week of 5/7

A taste of what I will be listing this week:
- ultra-simple Vintage white enameled metal chain necklaces (including a LONG, superskinny one with GOLD openwork geometric shapes...)
- a vintage black wicker basket purse with leather handles, circa the '50s/'60s
And in the CINCH BELT department (my favorite):
- an amazing, SUPER DUPER WIDE (I'm talking wiiiiiiide! Like, YSL s/s '05 wide) black cinch belt, made of suede and a heavy elastic, with an enormous rectangular metal buckle! This one is so, so fabulous... from the '60s... it'll make you look and feel like a million bucks, especially with a really fitted button-down tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt with platform pumps. At least, that's what I have in mind for it, maybe you'll do it with jeans, a tee and a great pair of flats for everyday?
- another fish scale cincher, this time in BIGGER scales with a really incredible artisan buckle
- a wide, structured cinch belt in a muted, scaled-down LEOPARD print, leather-lined... totally glam, from the '50s!
- a moss green leather cinch or low-waist belt (for a less-severe look) with an incredible silver and bronze artisan-made buckle
... and MORE!!
Also, I have recently become the owner of a vintage double-stranded OWL necklace, in golds and shades of ruby. The colors are gorgeous and it looks incredible on. I don't know if I can bring myself to sell it!
