The Blacklist
THE BLACKLIST | TOUGH LOVE
This week's list endows us with a heady dose of rock-chic; tough love via Sonia Rykiel's studded flap bag, Lauren Urstadt's cropped chain leather gloves, Diego Dolcini's studded and stoned platforms, Swarovski's Oscar cuff and Nordstrom's braided chain necklace.
I love to give my ensembles a hard, edgy vibe to them and any piece from this selection of accessories injects instant edge.
Diego Dolcini's stoned and studded sparklers with front zip unleash your inner rock chick--no band necessary.
Created using eel skin and a motif set with Pointiage® crystals, Swarovski's Oscar cuff is the perfect balance between edginess and elegance.
A mixture of different size chains are braided together to form Nordstrom's chunky necklace of high-shine brillance.
Supple leather make sure Lauren Urstadt's chain-embellished moto gloves maintain the perfect level of femininity.
Stud crazy or perfectly rocker? It won't matter when Sonia Rykiel's slightly textured and heavily studded leather bag is draped over your shoulder carrying all your can't-leave-home-without items.

THE BLACKLIST | Calla Lily Dreamin'
I have always loved the romantic sophistication that the calla lily embodies. I keep a bouquet in my home for inspiration and admiration, hence my pleasant surprise when I came across the Calla Lily collection at Asprey. Right on the top of the list with diamonds as a girl’s best friend--what more could you ask for than these diamond covered blooms. Pink or black sapphires, pavé white diamonds and amethyst make the perfect brooch or ring set in 18-carat white gold. I’d honestly love and be ecstatic to receive my favorite, the white pavé diamonds calla lily with pink sapphire spadix, as an engagement ring. Would you?

THE BLACKLIST | COAT of ARMOR
Bundling up doesn't have to mean banishing style - thanks to the design duo behind the luxury outerwear label Mackage. Fashion devotees will finally be able to stay snug this winter-without forsaking style. Coats of wool, leather, toscana and other blends and mixtures all offer the cozyness of your childhood snowsuit, while tossing in a serious dose of sophistication. The JuJu, a wool knee length with self-scarf, pleated break in sleeves, wide leather belt and leather detailing at the pockets is one of my favorites, along with the thigh length double breasted leather-detailed Cally. If cold-weather armor can look this hot, then let it snow!
