Everyday Parsley

No Paris finds this week...but I wanted to share my collection of Lisa Taubes necklaces and David Smallcombe bracelets.  Both of these designers are based in the United States, and I'm happy to say their designs are also made in USA.  The necklaces and the bracelets are offered in sterling, gold and rose gold.  I adore mixing and matching the metals according to my mood and turnout.  You can contact the designers directly via their websites; the information is listed below the photos.  I'm simply not dressed if I'm not wearing these perfect bits of parsley.  Happy June!  Love, Myra

My Lisa Taubes necklaces:  5-foot sterling and 5-foot gold necklaces, 20-inch gold necklace with removable beer quartz pendant, 17-inch sterling necklace, 42-inch rose gold necklace.  What I love about these necklaces is you can wear them doubled or tripled, according to the lengths.   They are the most versatile pieces of jewelry I own and add just the right amount of shimmer next to your face. 

I keep my necklaces on my dresser in this mother-of-pearl dish...each link of Lisa's necklaces is hand-soldered and they are extremely strong yet delicate.  I'm especially enjoying the mix of rose gold with sterling or gold...rose gold looks divine on summer-bronzed skin!

I can't begin to say enough about my David Smallcombe bracelets, except they are very addictive.  You can see I've gone a bit overboard.  I started out with three large gold bracelets, and the love affair began.  Each bracelet is hand-signed by David.

David's bracelets are offered in seven different sizes and two different widths.  At first I adored the large bracelets but have come to enjoy the thinner, curved bracelets just as much.  My favorite combination is two large rose gold, two thin rose gold, two thin gold and one thin sterling.  Cartier:  eat your heart out...I'm just as happy wearing these fabulous bracelets!

Guerlain et Poiray...Divine Favorite Things

Today I visited a Guerlain boutique, where they offered to personalize perfume bottles and lipstick tubes by engraving a prenom (first name).  This tiny but utterly perfect detail is so French, so divine...how can a girl resist?  Guerlain's newest fragrance, La Petite Robe Noir, has been on my mind lately...and to have my name engraved on the bottle?...no pause here.  La Petite Robe Noir (Little Black Dress) is only available in France for the moment, so if you are here ask for a sample at Guerlain...it's wonderful and perfect for Spring/Summer.  La Rouge Automatic lipstick is a great concept...no top, just push up the lever and voila, discrete lip color application.  Lots of shades to select from in sheer or more full-on coverage.  

Had to share my oh-so-lovely engraved purchases!  

Oh and don't forget Guerlain candles.  THE BEST.

I wear a Poiray watch every day...and change the straps according to my mood or turnout.  I've worn these watches for about five years now and love adding double tour (double around) straps to my collection every season.  Poiray offers leather, stainless, gold, and semi-precious straps.  Scarlett also has a great selection of hand-made custom leather straps of the finest quality for any watch in your collection.

Bon long weekend!  Love, Myra

Love love love the bottle and the little black dress!

This flacon will be on my dresser even after every drop is gone...yay!

Rouge Automatic Lipstick... 

Tube on the right shows the little lever that opens the top....so smart, so chic. 

My favorite Guerlain candles:  Bois des Indes and Pluie de Petals.

My Poiray watches in 18k gold and stainless.  Most straps purchased at Scarlett in Paris.

I dedicate this posting with love to my perfectly Parisian, utterly chic
and everlasting friend, Chantal.
