    Double Trouble

    WHAT: Treesje Crimson bag

    WHY: Because two is always better than one, and this Crimson bag (though don't be fooled by the name: it also comes in the equally chic navy and black) does double duty with aplomb. The mini bag comes with a long shoulder strap for the busy days when you need your hands free, but remove it and you've got yourself a perfectly evening envelope-style clutch. Of course, that luxe berry leather and rounded studs are just the icing on the cake...

    PRICE: $388

    WHAT: Jenny Bird Empress Collar

    WHY: Because everyone can use a touch of the dramatic in their wardrobe, non?

Yep, that's a Jenny Bird lariat). This chunky brass, horn, and leather collar, meanwhile, will garner plenty of attention for vous...

    In With The Old

    WHAT: Jennifer Elizabeth Mirela earrings

    WHY: Because you can never resist the mystery of vintage---with the sparkle of the brand-spanking-new. Designer Jennifer Amenta scours flea markets, antique stores, and estate sales, using everything from broken crystals from a vintage chandelier to long-forgotten pieces, and makes them new bijoux again. We're particularly taken with the Mirela earrings, delicate circles of clear and black rhinestones set into oxidized silver, for that old-world glam that satisfies today's cravings.

    PRICE: $130

    AVAILABLE: www.jenniferelizabeth.com, mid-July
