FALL/WINTER BLUES... from runways to Sophie's Closet

THAKOON F/W 2011

Blue is one of the predominant colours for the F/W season. Particularly the bright royal (or Klein) blue as seen on runways of DVF, Fendi, Jason Wu and Thakoon. It looks especially striking when paired with gold: one of our favourite colour combinations.


LEIVANKASH Feather Bracelet

We are excited to be carrying more pieces from LEIVANKASH. This feather bracelet is a perfect companion to the 'Olivia' ring and a perfect little pop of blue for fall.


KENNETH JAY LANE Double Lion Head Bracelet

Okay, so we realize that we've been featuring this lion bracelet a lot! But, it's just so irresistable with the little blue accent on top.


DIOR Vintage Clip-on Earrings

These vintage Dior earrings are absolute classics -- such a beautiful bright blue.


GUCCI F/W 2011

Then there is teal, a way to bring the tropics into fall. Seen on the ruways of Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Alberta Ferretti, teal is one of the most glamorous colours this season showing up in luxe accessories like fur stoles.


CHANEL Vintage Drop Earrings

Glamour always needs some Chanel and you already know we are so in love with these earrings. Okay -- there are turqoise but close enough!


KENNETH JAY LANE Blue Zircon Jonquil Centre Earrings

These gorgous yellow/blue combo earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane are Old Hollywood glamour. They would look amazing with that Gucci gown.


DEEPA GURNANI Skinny Metallic Leaf

A bit of teal for the hair comes in form of a pretty leaf headband. Daytime, nighttime -- it's just lovely.

GARDEN PARTY

Glamour Russia (May 2011)

We love florals all year round but the summer is when we get really excited about all the blooming things. That includes jewellery! Rest assured, we have the prettiest accessories to hit up all the garden parties this summer.


Glamour Russia (May 2011);
Deepa Gurnani Skinny Metallic Leaf Headwrap

D&G did the entire collection of gorgeous florals. This dress from Glamour Russia is so go green and lush, quite earthy indeed. It kind of reminds us of our Deepa Gurnani leaf headwrap.


Glamour Russia (May 2011);
LOUIS MARIETTE 'Belle de Jour' Bobby Pins

The florals on this Dior dress are so lovely and summery. Fuchsia and emerald jewel tones are just lovely, very girlie and a little flirty. And we think our Louis Mariette flower pins would compliment the look perfectly.


Dazed and Confused (March 2011);
KENNETH JAY LANE Gold Enamel Tritone Flower with Rhinestone Centre

Yet another beautiful D&G dress was shown in Dazed & Confused. This time in a very pretty ladylike yellow print. The little vintage-looking flowers match our Kenneth Jay Lane earrings almost perfectly!


Elle Denmark (April 2011);
LEIVANKASH 'Olivia' Rose Ring

This light and romantic editorial from Elle Denmark is so pretty! We love how the models are wearing roses around their wrists. But roses are definitely not as special as our LeiVanKash 'Olivia' ring! Roses by any other name (don't) smell as sweet...

Introducing DEEPA GURNANI

'Mother of Pearl' Headwrap

If there is one accessories designer that really captures the essence of Boho Chic this season, it's Deepa Gurnani. This New York-based, Indian-born rising star launched her collection in 2006, together with her husband who happens to be a jewellery designer.


Paris Hilton (she looks great here)

She is a master beader -- trained at Central Saint Martins -- which is somewhat of a lost art these days. In fact, in the fashion industry Deepa Gurnani is considered an expert in her field and has collaborated with Alexander McQueen, Fendi and Emanuel Ungaro on hand-embellished couture garments.


Leaf Headwrap


Blair Waldorf (paired with Lanvin)

Influenced by her Indian background and bohemian style, each headband is intricately hand- constructed using unique fabrics, beads and crystals.


'Round and Leaf' Headband


Natalie Portman (always so elegant)

Sophie's Closet is thrilled to be carrying Deepa Gurnani. These pieces are going to make summer accessorising easy and breezy!
