Alexis Bittar Resort 2013

 

In case a bout of doom and gloom is looming over you because Labor Day is around the corner ushering forth the end of summer, take heart in a bit of daydreaming about your next sunny escape via the Alexis Bittar Resort 2013 collection.  Warm yellow and rose gold, cerulean blues and dreamy aqua will have you reminiscing of mahogany skin and salty beach hair in no time.  Among my favorite pieces:

I count native New Yorker, Alexis Bittar, among my favorite costume jewelry designers not only because of his eye for aesthetics and clever use of materials and color, but also because he has a wickedly naughty sense of humor–as made evident by his fall 2012 campaign featuring my most beloved naughty duo, Pats and Eddy.  Lets face it, Pats is something of a role model.

All these pieces are available for pre-order on Moda Operandi until September 6th and are estimated for delivery between November 01, 2012 and January 01, 2013, just in time for winter Holidays.

Big Kiss and Bigger Diamonds,
