Typically, a necklace from a major designer would not make our ‘We Can Do This’ category…the exception is the YSL Calla Lilly choker from the YSL Fall 2012 Collection. “Calla Lily accents added a breath of fresh femininity in various sized prints and brushed metal chokers.”

Can We Do This…Maybe!!!

If it is Monday…then there must be some post material discovered in the Saturday edition of the Wall Street Journal. Mytheresa.com is a German online store for luxury brands. “In the aftermath of the fashion shows in Paris, Milan, London, and New York, our buyers order directly at the designers. Our selection has its focus on style and elegance rather than on ephemeral trends. mytheresa.com thus offers you a selection of fashion pieces that are both cool and sophisticated, feminine and far-sighted.” The featured ring is from Yves Saint Laurent and can be found at the top of the Jewelry page. I’m not sure if this falls into the we can do this category…in a ring…but the design elements are definitely possible for a bracelet or pendant.

We are continuing to explore black or black and white with a ‘slash’ of color…today orange. The orange of this silk blouse from Yves Saint Laurent is so bright it pops off the page. (BTW…it is one of the feature designs on the home page…the back has a surprise.) Be sure to check out the vintage necklace from House of Lavande..this one is going into my inspiration book. (The jewelry link is also full of inspiration.)

It is time for a return visit to Decades. The home page is an interesting scroll of vintage couture designs. As we discovered in October, the blog holds the ‘gems’…literally and figuratively. There is a large collection of interesting jewelry from Yves saint Laurent but this colorful dress from Versace caught my eye.
A Blast from the Past

The Decades blog describes the store as “the premier destination for glamorous vintage couture.” The Past Collections page is a walk down memory lane. I found this interesting vintage Yves Saint Laurent necklace on the blog site. It is well worth your time to scroll though the blog postings.

When it comes to fashion Yves Saint Laurent covered all of the bases. A retrospective of more than 300 of his designs are on exhibit in Paris this summer. I found two sites that give you a glimpse into the world of a genius. Take some time to scroll through ‘If It’s Hip, It’s Here’ and ‘Paris Breakfasts (I Paint Paris Dreams…)’.
‘Charming’ Necklace

Sorry!!! The pun was too good to pass on. I saw this necklace from Yves Saint Laurent on a swimsuit model in a recent magazine. I’m not sure if I could carry off the scale of the charms…but it looked great on the model. (Of course the model was tall and reed thin…adjectives that will never be used to describe me.)
Be sure to check out the jewelry pages on the site.
