I got this blazer way back in the summer when we shot the Bloomingdales promo video in New York; details on the video to be revealed soon! Getting back to this blazer….I had never heard of this designer before but I am completely obsessed with her now. Hellessy was created by Sylvie Millstein in 2012. Of French Japanese heritage, this Parisian born designer has worked as a senior merchant for such prestigious fashion houses such as Chanel, Givenchy, Harrods in Europe and Japan. Her clothes are amazing and I am an enormous fan. I would classify this look as fashion forward, with its utter charm and detail. I think you could easily recreate this look by taking a blazer that you own, but are tired of, and shortening the sleeves. Any tailor will shorten the sleeves of a blazer, and if you are really out to achieve this look, simply take an old white blouse and ask the tailor to sew in the bottom half of each sleeve; you will have a Hellessy blazer look alike but at a DIY cost!

Layering jewelry is my favorite look, especially when it comes to beautiful stand out necklaces such as these. You can get a closer look at them below. Layering is a very popular way to style fine jewelry, and works well, especially if you are like me and cannot decide on in one specific necklace!

Here is a closer look at those fabulous necklaces!

This Dior saddle bag with its unique shape has been one of those bags that will be with in my closet forever! It’s a classic design.
