rocky mountain high

The relentless snow flurries, the bitter cold, my frozen fingers--I loved it all in Aspen. You can't hate winter there; the place is just too remarkably beautiful. My friend Pam, previously mentioned, who lives in Aspen, and during the off-season, in Montauk and Mexico, has an amazing jewelry line, and it perfectly reflects her glamorous geographical trifecta: it's earthy-meets-beachy-meets-elegant all at once. And many of her gorgeous pieces are under $150. Here are a few of my favorites, from stackable rings ($25/ring) to a pave nugget necklace ($75) and a studded leather bangle ($65), all available at pamedesign.com.
