Shop It Now: Sylva & Cie Resort 2013

Christina Perez — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:07:14 PDT

Old-world jewelry with modern appeal: that's the essence of Los Angeles-based line Sylva & Cie. Inspired by the asymmetry of nature and the glamour of vintage art deco jewelry, each piece features classic fine-jewelry materials - diamonds, rubies, sapphires - but is totally hand-hewn and one of a kind. "Our pieces are unequaled," says
designer Sylva Yepremian. "There isn't a company that produces jewelry the way we do."

Now, the brand's never-before-seen Resort 2013 limited-edition collection has just hit Moda Operandi. Made up of molten metals, diamond-rimmed rubies, pear-shaped sapphires, and - our favorite - smokey diamonds, each piece in the collection is like a mini work of art. See them all up close here and preorder them online now until Aug. 28.

That ever-so-subtle chill in the air can only mean one thing: Fall will soon be here. And though the last few weeks of Summer may always feel inherently sad, they also bring with them the sense that something new is just around the bend.

So, in honor of that old familiar back-to-school feeling, here it is: our annual guide to the season's "scholarly" classics. New books, new uniforms, new shoes, new pens . . . they're all here and all promise to make for one totally chic - and luxurious - reentry.

Club Monaco's Website Now Features E-Commerce

POPSUGAR Fashion News — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:21:00 PDT

>> After a brief delay, Club Monaco fans will be able to buy the brand's clothes online this week. The new e-commerce site is still in a soft launch phase, but the brand's representatives told Fashionologie on Monday that its Facebook fans will get access to the site on Tuesday, and everyone else will be able to shop online Wednesday.

That'll be useful for fans of the brand who don't live anywhere near one of its stores. Club Monaco has just over 100 brick-and-mortar locations around the world, which means the site will be a useful tool as the brand continues to build a fan base. What we've seen of the site so far is functional and clean, but it's also pretty engaging. The brand's Tumblr, Culture Club, has prominent links on most of the pages, and some key products - like the women's black leather jacket in the P.S. You Need This section - are cleverly animated. And so long as the site stays stocked with a fresh assortment of products and new ways to entertain browsers and hardcore shoppers alike, we think it'll be a top shopping destination.

If you want early access to the site, you'll have to like Club Monaco on Facebook now. In the meantime, check out a few of the products we'll be buying when the site goes live.
