Freak out! Eddie Borgo at J. Crew

(via Refinery29)

I DIED a little on the inside when I saw that my jewelry designer crush Eddie Borgo (CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award runner-up) was designing a capsule collection for J. Crew. I don't know if they didn't do much press beforehand, or if I just totally missed it until the day before the launch, but this is truly amazing.

I went online today to see what I could snag. The prices run from $38 for the studded bow pins to $175 for a fringed mesh pocket necklace. There are also some totally hip studded belts.

I'm contemplating snagging the black cone and pearl cuff ($95). Cones are such an Eddie Borgo signature, and I just love it! The pearl necklace ($150) is awesome too. Looks like I have some decisions to make...

Mad about Mawi

Last week, I discovered the awesome website The Coveted. I mean, that alone is awesome enough.

But then the site introduced me to my new favorite jewelry line - Mawi. This jewelry house focuses on statement pieces in a few signature styles, infusing Deco, punk, Indian and industrial styles into glamourous baubles. Ultra contemporary with a nod to antique-y estate jewelry, the line is bold and ornamental without being gaudy.

The other good news? These pieces aren't astronomically pricey. Expect to shell out a few hundred dollars for a ring, and closer to $500 for a necklace. Basically, any of these would make a perfect statement piece in any outfit. Here are some of my favorites from the collection:



Claw crystal and spike necklace (my absolute favorite)
Ring with emerald centerstone and crystals
Crystal teardrop earrings
Giant jet black crystal cocktail ring
Jade tusk earrings (I love all of the jade tusk pieces - there is a coordinating bracelet and necklace!)

Want to get your hands on some of these gorgeous costume pieces? You can find select Mawi pieces on Net-A-Porter or check out their website here.
