shell shock

Typically, a hot-off-the-press, must-have bag debuts during Copenhagen's Fashion Week, but this time around it's a must-have necklace that's front and center. Made of 22-karat gold plated brass cowrie shells, the Tohum necklace --spotted on pretty much every fashion show attendee--is quintessentially summer glam. It's adjustable, so you can wear it like a choker or longer, or even as an anklet (see below). It also comes with natural shells, which is even more right this minute. As fate would have it, I came across this super hard-to-find (i.e., nearly sold out everywhere!) necklace at Warm in Nolita yesterday. I tried it on and my twin sister said she liked it on me--but thought it would look even better on her! Reluctantly, but objectively, I agreed, with the condition I could borrow it whenever I want. We went on to do more shopping and snapped up this boho-chic Yvonne S maxi, these gold Loeffler Randall sandals, this floral Banjanan dress, and these retro but right now Reebok sneakers.
