I loathe it when people ask “are you a shoe or bag person?” Not just because the question has been asked 1 zillion times, but because the questioner always fails to throw jewelry into that cliched ultimatum. My answer would be jewelry in case you were asking.
These are two necklaces that I acquired these past two weeks. One is vintage and from Reno, the other from Forever 21. I’ll let you guess which is which. Upon spotting them I was whisked away to Dries Van Noten land and there was no turning back. They reminded me of that amazing gold cluster necklace I recently saw on the runway that turned my knees into butter. Nowhere near identical but definitely in the same family.
I promised lots of people that I’d start posting some more of my style on Fashion Intel. Maybe it will help you get better acquainted with who I am? You’ll definitely be seeing lots of

I miss my grandmother terribly. She was the most amazing woman I’ve ever met and I hope if she’s hanging around that she’s proud of how I am living my life, as I’ve modeled a lot of my attitudes after her’s. One way I have been able to remember her is through fashion. She left behind many treasures that I absolutely love and I feel fortunate to have the chance to own/wear them. A few pieces she gave me before she passed away and they feel particularly special because they were picked specifically for me.
Pictured are a few of my favorite things in which I have inherited. The gold necklace my grandma gave me years ago – she told me a grand story of how she acquired it while visiting Spain. The two jackets are both vintage fur + feathers, and I am still trying to figure out what they’re made of. They’re so silky smooth! Vintage fur is ok, yes? Lastly is that amazing feather brooch which I have been wearing on my hats and tops, but I need to replace the back as it often slips off.
I love vintage, but nothing beats owning a piece of your family’s history. I’ll post more photos when I’ve collected some more gems.
