Bib necklaces are here to stay...Check out Roarke!

If you are anything like me, you are always adding to your jewelry collection...

Roarke's first collection "Le Marais", debuted in 2009, is full of awesome beaded jewelry, including Le Charlot, the iconic beaded bib necklace. (Already seen on Ivanka Trump and Mary Louise Parker!) This necklace will set your look apart from the rest!

Clos-ette told you in May that bib necklaces could be a great summer accessory to accentuate your outfit and thanks to designer Mignonne Gavigan and former Bergdorf Goodman buyer Laetitia Stanfield, you now have THE MOST GORGEOUS bib necklaces and more to choose from all year round!

Roarke was created with the modern stylish woman in mind who wants to make a statement while still being true to her own style. Laetitia and Mignonne created designs that can be worn from day to night, day in and day out. For Le Charlot, they took vintage couture detailing and paired it with modern styles and fabrics to mix the old with the new while every style after just followed suit.



How did they come up with this fabulously designed necklace between the two of them? They think completely differently. Laetitia thinks on a business level, while Mignonne thinks like a true designer, always seeing inspiration in something and then molding it into her own. Together, they make sure that everything they do is a collaboration and a true Roarke idea.

In addition to Le Charlot, the geniuses behind Roarke include chunky wedge ankle boots and blazers with sexy, defined shoulders as their other must-have items of the season.

You can view Roarke's entire collection at www.roarkenyc.com, including all kinds of ways you can wear their bib necklace! And make sure you check out the bracelets, hair accessories, and adorable tie pieces, too!

Tucker Tops!

If you could buy ONE top and one top only...what would it be?

Tucker's signature blouse by Gaby Basora is the answer...
My absolute favorite purchases are day-to-night pieces. You know, tops or bottoms that can be worn 24/7 - from lunching to lounging to letting loose!

And her signature blouse was created for that very reason: versatility. Made from silk with a button down front and shirred neckline, it can be tucked into a high waisted skirt for work or paired with skinny jeans for a night out. The shape is flattering, yet sexy...comfortable, yet chic.



















What makes this fashionista even more impressive? Whether it be floral, animal or abstract prints, the patterns are designed by Gaby in her NYC design studio. Now THAT is what I call a designer!

Gaby's popularity has skyrocketed since launching Tucker in 2005, expanding into a collection of over 18 pieces, including dresses, coats and lingerie. Tucker's been featured in everything from Vogue to New York Times and spotted on celebs such as Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, along with dozens more.

You can purchase Tucker clothing in over 100 retail stores worldwide including Bergdorfs, Barneys, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Saks, and ShopBop!
