The September issue of Elle magazine has me clutching my (imaginary) Pearls.
As always GetPOLISHED is a HUGE advocator of accessories. We know the power of a good earring, bracelet, bag, belt etc.
We won't go into our endless love affair/obsession with bits & baubles, but we will give you Lee Angel!
Serena necklace
Color Therapy bracelet
Solange bracelet
Tassel necklace
Of course I am ((LIVING)) over these kitchy, retro wooden dolls by Alexander Girard.
These limited edition pieces were fashioned after sets done by Alexander for his private collection.
These make the perfect addition to a bookshelf!
A great gift for the ecclectic friend!
"solid firwood and with a hand painted finish. Each Doll also comes with a brochure and in a printed wooden box."

While researching new designers I came across Akillis Jewelry.
My personal favorite from their many collections: BANG BANG!
The collection which includes White Gold, Yellow Sapphire, Black Diamonds and MORE is simply strong & sexy.
*Don't worry guys, their are pieces for you as well!
"I can be your tinkerbell and you can be my peter pan and we can run away together off to never never land"
I told you THIS week GetPOLISHED would be back in effect. More glamour, home decor, gratuitous pictures, giveaways and MUCH MUCH MORE!
Though I am not completed settled in my new home I have been anxious to get back to blogging and sharing with you all.
I don't think I will ever get over www.Etsy.com. The website is simply the BEST for discovering designers, artists and other creatives on a global scale. Its amazing how advanced technology is...type in a word like "FAIRY" and you uncover... Spirocreations
What a sweet way to get into the work week groove!
Spirocreations a husband & wife duo, which spend their time using sumptuous leathers to handmake shoes, belts, bags and more.
Most orders take 2-3 weeks, but its worth the wait when these girls come in the post.
You can been cool in Yellow, Red, Cobalt Blue, its up to you and they have in addition to those mentioned 3 other colors to choose from.
Beat your feet in these beauties...
*I can totally see myself riding around Bed-Stuy in these. (If only I had that bike) tee hee
GetPOLISHED loves accessories!! So it should come as no surprise when I was flipping through the WWD Accessory guide and saw the work of Phillippe Tournaire I was literally transported to another place.
Phillippe, a french jewelry designer is often inspired by buildings, homes and other architectural aspects.
Using what he sees in Architecture he then designs jewelry accordingly.
Below are my favorites from his Bijoux Architecture collection.
"Handmade from 18-c gold, platinum and precious stones, the rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces in the collections mimic the design of architectural dazzlers from around the world."
"Tournaire also produces custom pieces, using satellite images from the internet to create miniature versions of clients’ homes from the precious metal."
"Tournaire isn’t an architect, but for 38 years he was a world traveller who fell in love with the splendor of the different architecture he discovered, from the intricately crafted Arabic doors of the Middle East to the soaring columns outside New York’s Grand Central Station, and wanted to re-create what he saw in jewellery."
GetPOLISHED and uncover MORE stunning jewelry from Tournaire
GetPOLISHED must apologize for the lack of postings.
I recently finished moving and was so consumed with packing, purging and moving that GetPOLISHED had to take a back seat.
No worries as we are back to 2 business!
*Thank you for understanding!
I LOVE to accessorize. Earrings, bracelets, rings, belts, bags & shoes.
Accessories are just another way to GLAM up an outfit and TRULY express yourself with fashion.
I was floored when I saw the beautiful and conceptual jewelry at Open Design
I LOVE this Vogue spread from May 2007.
So much glamour!
