Sophie's Closet in the Press

Harper's Bazaar Arabia (November 2011)

Our jewels have been making so many magazine appearances, we're starting to blush a little over the attention. From fashion glossies like Harper's Bazaar, U Magazine, and Flare, to the ultimate lifestyle guide, Time Out, to a celebrity must-read OK! magazine, to countless online features, everyone is talking about Sophie's Closet.



Our Joomi Lim spike bangle and our CC Skye 'Can't Buy Me Love' ring were featured in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia, with one and only Janet Jackson on the cover.


OK! Middle East (October 13-19 2011)

And we got lots of love in OK! Middle East, with a two-page feature of Sophie's Closet, so wonderfully titled the "Treasure Trove."



OK! highlighted some of the glamorous pieces featured on Gossip Girl (a personal favourite of ours) like the Amrita Singh crystal drop earrings (as seen on Serena) and Siman Tu's stunning butterfly necklace (as seen on Blair), as well as his turquoise chandelier earrings (as seen on Lily). They also couldn't resists our rarities, such as the vintage Trifari bracelet (as seen on Olivia Palermo), and beautiful picks from Chanel and Sherman.



They didn't stop there! OK! also highlighted young and hip designs like Melinda Maria's python ring, CC Skye's spiked bracelet, House of Harlow's tribal turquoise earrings, Erickson Beamon's bright 'Color Me Crazy' earrings, Fallon's serpent earrings (as seen on ever-so-controversial Kim Kardashian), and Lulu Frost's precious chandeliers (as seen on Whitney Port).

Phew! There is more! Visit Sophie's Closet on Facebook to view all our press hits.

TASSELS... from runways to Sophie's Closet

Louis Vuitton S/S 2011

This season many designers focused on the glamorous and playful 1920s flapper look, most notably Louis Vuitton. And, naturally, there were many tassels and fringes involved! It's probably an understatement when we say that we are kind of obsessed with tassels at the moment.

Of course there is no need to wear them with matching dresses. They can be worn with anything: little black dresses, summer maxis, blouses, t-shirts and jeans.


We love the emphasis on rich golds here. Summer always calls for some serious gold! Very subtle and elegant looks.


HOUSE OF HARLOW Tassel Necklace (AED 760)


FALLON Sound Bite Earrings


Vintage CHANEL Tassel Earrings


LULU FROST Tassel Necklace



And here, we are seeing some more colours: reds, rose golds and mixture of rhinestones. These looks are a bit louder: definite head-turners.

NEW YEAR, NEW ARRIVALS

New year brings new and exciting things to Sophie's Closet. Over the next couple of months, we'll be looking at S/S 2011 trends, magazine editorials, vintage style, the red carpet and, of course, Gossip Girl. But, for now, we wanted to introduce you to all the things we are super excited about.

FALLON

FALLON Multicolor Crystal Brass V Necklace (AED 1365, $425 CAD)

FALLON "Off Ramp" Jet Multi Bow Bracelet (AED 890, $278 CAD)

Fallon is fairly new to Sophie's Closet and we are excited to be carrying this outstanding line. Since its creation, Fallon has been editors' favourite appearing on the pages on Elle, Vogue and V.

RACHEL LEIGH


RACHEL LEIGH "Stella" Crystal Ring (AED 300, $94 CAD)


RACHEL LEIGH "Fitz" Hyacinth Necklace (AED 1350, $421 CAD)

We can't get enough of Rachel Leigh and the new pieces move from the usual enamel to sparkling crystals. The combination of sculptural metals and brightly coloured crystals has us swooning.

JENNIFER BEHR

JENNIFER BEHR Chunky Triple Row Crystal (AED 1720, $352 CAD)

JENNIFER BEHR Crystal Anchor Pin (AED 450, $140 CAD)

Jennifer Behr needs no introduction to Sophie's Closet costumers and we are excited to be stocking the new spring line as well as restocking some of our favourite past pieces. Anyone heading on an exciting cruise or a tropical vacation? We think the Anchor Pin is a must!

VINTAGE CHANEL


Vintage CHANEL Tassle Earrings (AED 2350, $732 CAD)


XL Vintage CHANEL 5 Charm Necklace (AED 3900, $1,215 CAD)

Our vintage Chanel pieces are so hot, they are flying off our shelves! So we are bringing more and more. Along with the signature CC clip-ons, we are getting some stunning chandelier earrings and charm bracelets.

COLLECTIBLE VINTAGE


Vintage CHRISTIAN DIOR Royal Blue Oval Marbled Earrings (AED 750)


Vintage CINER Green Jade Cabochon Earrings (AED 1100, $343 CAD)

We will be stocking up on more and more collectible vintage. It's become a bit of an obsession. We are just so inspired by the amazing craftsmanship and design. Plus, every serious style icon collects vintage (have you read our post on Olivia Palermo?). We are concentrating of bringing more Christian Dior, Ciner, Sherman as well as other well-known designers.

Happy New Year!
