Jewelmint! Jewelry designed by Kate Bosworth and her stylist!

Kate's style is simple, clean, elegant and sophisticated. To own the very same pieces of jewelry she wears is now so simple!

I signed up to check out the jewelries. My link: http://jmnt.me/ifLldY

First step is to fill out a survey so the site can get an idea of your taste. Afterward, they show you pieces they think you might be interested in. You pay $29.99 per month for an item but you can skip any month you want if you don't like the pieces shown to you so there's really no commitment at all.

At $29.99, some items are a real steal! There are real gold plated items, silver and gems used. Some have a super vintage-like vibe!

The ones worn by Kate herself to special events is a good selling point however, I think the videos they post up for each of their pieces is really great and helps to see each piece in "action".

I've got so many I want already but I know more good stuff will be coming! These are limited editions of course and there are new items each month to pick from.

I started sharing the link with all my friends (most in Canada) and realized later that it is only for U.S. customers at this time. You can ship to me! :(

Some of my favs!!

Happy 1 year in New York to me!

To celebrate.. we went shopping and eat delicioso steak.

We went to do some shopping at Barney's warehouse sale. After visiting the actual Barney's store last week where everything was unaffordable, we thought it would be worth checking out.

It was apparently the last weekend for the sale. If only I knew it started back in mid February...gahhh. Leftover sale items sucks. There were still a whole lot of people there though taking advantage of the additional savings on top of the sale prices.
Lavish dresses from Lanvin, Balmain, Dior and more were all on sale but since it's the last weekend of the warehouse sale..everyone dreamed to be a size 40 or size 0 to take advantage of the last marked down designer gowns.

I tried on two tank tops from Vince priced at $39 +25% additional discount. A Viva Cava mesh tank top which didn't fit. (At first I thought it was a Vena Cava piece I was holding but then realized it was Viva and not Vena. Just doing some research now, I see that Viva Vena is a sister brand of Vena Cava..that's all. I learn somethin' everything).


This top looked terrible on me..S or L size..it was not flattering at all. Not even on this model.

Since I didn't buy anything, 5 minutes before I had to go, I forcibly squeezed my feet into a super coveted Derek Lam ankle bootie marked down from $795 to $319 with an additional 60% off to make it less than $130! But alas, I couldn't pull the platform ankle bootie off and threw them back in the pile.
Here it is worn by Rachel, Olivia and Jessica. Looks awkward no? Should I have gotten them anyway since they were only $130?!






Although I didn't buy anything, I was psyched to bump into my high friend from Montreal who was in town for the weekend. He went straight to the sale after arriving. It is just so freakin' nice to "bump" into someone here in New York!

After shopping..it was steak time at Peter Luger's. Porterhouse for 2, cream spinach, German hash browns, palm salad...nom nom nom.

Now you see it..



Now you don't..
