Kensie Jewelry Party

A few weeks ago I was invited to hang out and have a drink, while scoping out the latest jewelry collection from Kensie. Bloggers mingled over treats from both Crumbs Cupcakes and Baked by Melissa. We were also treated to our choice of a pair of super cute Kensie Jeans or lingerie for attending the party (Full disclosure: I was gifted a pair of bright blue skinny jeans).

I learned that Kensie's jewelry collection is pretty darn adorable but also quite affordable with prices starting at just $16 and nothing over $58! There were plenty of pieces that I thought would make great additions to any wardrobe.

Bracelets with chevron patterns are modern and bold. The fringe necklace adds a lot of drama to any outfit for $58.

Tassel beaded necklaces and bib necklaces are playful and add a fun touch of glamor.

Horn shaped jewels and bracelets give a rock and roll vibe.


Meanwhile the Stone Frontal Necklace in bold pop colors was one of my favorite pieces. It retails for $48 and is sure to brighten up your wardrobe for Spring.

Bright colored pendants are now $38, while the triangular necklace that has a bit of a tribal feel is $28.

Rhinestone bracelets are $24 while the elasticized bracelets are $18 a pop.

You can purchase Kensie jewelry at a Macy's or Lord & Taylor near you.

First Look: doo.ri for Macy's

Jason Wu is not the only designer with a hot upcoming collaboration next month. Designer Doo-Ri Chung is collaborating with Macy's is collaborating as part of their "Impulse" limited-edition collaborations, following in the footsteps of esteemed designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Giambattista Vali and Matthew Williamson.

Chung's collection launches exclusively at Macy's on February 15, 2012 and features classic trench coats, jersey dresses and separates priced between $39 and $159.  I am loving the bold graphic brushstroke prints, the modern clean silhouettes and the relaxed sense of luxury that is a hallmark of doo.ri style.  My faves are without a doubt the jersey pieces that Chung does best - the LBD and the empire waisted maxi below are perfection!
