Braided Bead Charm
The Braided Bead Charm was originally designed by Lourdes Amador for a friend’s birthday. But after seeing how many compliments it received, Lourdes decided to share the wealth and add it to her online store.
Lourdes recommends wearing this charm on a long chain–either alone or with other charms. Wear it with this fall’s sweaterdress and leggings combo, or wear it to work under your Perfect blazer and a preppy shirt.
Want more from Lourdes? Bijou Boutique just launched a new line, "Rebellious," which unleashes Tough Love with beads and bangles. Rebellious features street flavoured brass knuckles, antique keys, bad girl handcuffs, lucky dice, and sterling skulls.
$15 at Bijou Boutique.

Sheena Handbag at Lucia Bella
Designer Julie Sherwood’s Sheena handbag is named after the Queen of the Jungle. Quite appropriate, given the handbag’s combination of soft body ruching, a delicately braided handle with bold hardware, and strong earth tone, animal print leathers.
Versatile as it is exotic, the Sheena handbag goes from day to night, accompanying both casual and dressy looks. To best show off the bag’s styling details, wear the Sheena bag with a contrasting color.
Fun fact about Julie? She loves to drive her vintage Ford car, which dates back to 1950!
$348 at Lucia Bella.

Astrantia Necklace
Designer Gwendolyn Davis was inspired by nature and deco-era Art Nouveau to create her gorgeous Astrantia necklace, constructed out of mother of pearl petals from pre-war Japan. "As with everything I do creatively, my best teacher was nature. She teaches you the value of economy, proportion and exuberance all at once. The flower name â€Astrantia†comes from the Greek for Star, but I was thinking of a Gardenia when I made it."
Gwendolyn recommends pairing the delicate necklace with a Grecian-inspired top or dress with a plunging neckline and an empire waist. She would also pair the necklace with her bamboo bangles set with Swarovski crystals and some simple dangly vintage chain earrings.
Fun fact about Gwendolyn? She has a phobia for people in big, goofy costumes, likely stemming from a previous job as a costumer at Universal Studios.
