speaking of chic chunky baubles, i admit, i had no idea at all that vera wang designed jewelry…i get the feeling these few pieces are a test-run. but if this is any indication of what’s to come, i can hardly wait to see a full line.

from vera’s lavender label collection:  jeweled and tulle necklace (left), $325.  gold sequin bead necklace (right), $175.

if you’re in the market for a cheaper version of her style, there are actually a couple of decent pieces at kohl’s right now.  i’m digging the braided mesh necklace and bracelet, both under $30.
