Layla, my love


So why not start off with something I've been obsessing over for months now. I visit her usually twice a week, sometimes I actually go in and try her on, other times I just walk by the window and stare longingly. Her name is Layla. This necklace is one of the most beautiful things to ever catch my eye and I've been trying to raise funds, rationalize, and talk myself into buying her but I just haven't gotten there yet. It's made by Lizzie Fortunato Jewels - a jewelry and accessory designer made up of 2 sisters; Elizabeth & Kathryn (another reason I love them, because my sister and I are also Elizabeth & Katherine) and I spotted her at Looc Boutiqe in Boston's South End. It's made with hand-knotted Liberty fabric, Amethyst, and glass beads - as if that's not enough it has a leather buckle for the closure in the back, I'm really a sucker for a nice leather buckle as it always reminds me of Hermes. Well, I certainly feel like this was a good start because I'm smiling now!

  3. I agree - splurge and treat yourself if you love it that much! Even though statement necklaces are trendy, I think this necklace could stand the test of time, for sure! Beautiful piece and almost has that heirloom-quality about it.

  4. I had totally commented on this post before. I guess it didn't post. Hmm anyway I agree with all. I love Layla and I say lets chip in and timeshare. So what if we have to eat ramin for the rest of the summer! :)
