  • Introducing SHOUROUK

    Introducing SHOUROUK

    Shourouk Rhaiem
    Who wears Shourouk? The question is: Who doesn’t? From the stylish wrists of Miroslava Duma to Anna Dello Russo’s impossibly long neck, to supermodel Karlie Kloss in the pages of Vogue, to the iconic Sarah Jessica Parker.
    Ever since Paris-based Shourouk Rhaiem established her label in 2007, it’s been a mainstay in glossy magazine pages and celebrity accessory drawers. And for a reason, of course: Her colourful and glistening compositions are hard to resist. We are done resisting, and are happy to announce that Shourouk will be arriving to Sophie’s Closet this month!
     
    Shourouk F/W 2012
    Having previously worked for Chloe, John Galliano, and Roberto Cavalli, high fashion and quality craftsmanship was already party of her design repertoire. As an avid traveller, Shourouk is inspired by her many journeys, collecting beautiful objects and placing them in her studio to spark her creativity.

    The result is a fantastic mash-up of worldly inspirations, like vivid colours from Bollywood films and the opulence of Russian aristocracy.
     
    Miroslava Duma wearing Shourouk bracelets
    So beautiful, one can instantly glamourize a simple jean dress like Miroslava Duma’s, just by adding a little Shourouk.

    Especially when it comes to the bright statement necklaces that add that extra ooph! to any outfit.
     
    Shourouk F/W 2012
    One of our favourite pieces from this collection is the triple band ring. Genius!
    We’ll be posting the pieces on our online store as soon as they arrive, so keep an eye out. Don’t let them get away!
  • Q&A with Summer Rej, Dauphines of New York

    Q&A with Summer Rej, Dauphines of New York

    Taking inspiration from Boho icons like Anita Pallenberg and Jane Birkin, and the original bad girl style icon, Marie Antoinette, the tragic Queen of France, Dauphines of New York has landed on some of the chicest heads in the fashion world. We are referring to the beautiful jewelled headpieces that are sure to make every woman feel like royalty. We caught up with Dauphines founder Summer Rej to learn more about her collection.

    Do you remember your first jewellery memory?
    Yes, primarily around New York: observing glamourous NYC women; the windows of stores on Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue; and also viewing timeless artifacts through visits to museums in New York and throughout Europe.


    Marie Antoinette

    Your background is in publishing. What prompted you to start your own line?
    After graduating from Cornell University in 2006, I worked in Advertising at Vogue Living, followed by a position in Creative Services at Vogue from 2006-2009. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to do editorially focused work for stylists on international and domestic photoshoots. I was fortunate to work for some of the most innovative taste makers in the industry, where I was exposed to such an abundance of creative energy. From that, the concept blossomed, the idea became a reality, and Dauphines of New York was born.


    Amber Headpiece
    (exclusive to Sophie’s Closet)

    What inspired the name Dauphines of New York?
    Dauphines of New York is inspired by Marie Antoinette, who was a Dauphine of France prior to holding the title of Queen. Since many of the designs are modern tiaras, the name seemed appropriate.


    Kate Moss

    Who is your number one style icon?
    Kate Moss.

    If you could pick one person to wear Dauphines of New York, who would it be?
    You! Dauphines of New York is for the discerning and trendsetting modern women of today — the style icons of tomorrow.

    Complete this sentence: I’m happiest, when I’m…
    With friends roaming around New York.

  • CELEBRITY SPOTTING

    CELEBRITY SPOTTING


    Time Out New York

    We’ve been spotting our pretty jewels everywhere. Magazine covers, editorials, red carpets… all on beautiful, trendsetting celebrities.


    Scarlett Johansson wearing DANNIJO ‘Garbo’ Earrings

    Femme fatale Scarlett Johansson looks gorgeous and very festive on Time Out‘s holiday-themed cover. She is wearing Dannijo’s ‘Garbo’ earrings to complete her vintage look.


    Emma Roberts wearing DANNIJO ‘Garbo’ Earrings

    Julia Roberts’ talented niece, Emma Roberts, is like a tiny version of her. She looks adorable, and very Audrey Hepburn-esque, in her Dannijo ‘Garbo’ earrings.


    Michelle Trachtenberg wearing Dannijo ‘Mazati’ Necklace

    Gossip Girl‘s favourite bad girl (they should bring her back!), Michelle Tranchtenberg, looks sleek and beautiful with her dark red lipstick and her Dannijo ‘Mazati’ statement necklace.


    Mila Kunis wearing CC SKYE ‘Starburst’ Bangles, Cosmopolitan (September 2011)

    Stunning and funny girl, Mila Kunis, exudes effortless style. We love the soft sweetheart neckline of this dress, against CC Skye’s hard edged ‘Starburst’ bangles.


    Kirsten Dunst wearing EDDIE BORGO Gold Pave Cone Bracelet, FLARE (November 2011)

    Kirsten Dunst is picture perfect on the cover of FLARE magazine, wearing a bright Giambattista Valli dress. Only one accessory to complete the look: Eddie Borgo’s cone bracelet.


    Olivia Palermo wearing LEIVANKASH Feather Bracelet

    And last but not the least, is our favourite girl, Olivia Palermo, showing some love for LeiVanKash again. This time she opted for a feather bracelet, for a nice bright dose of turquoise.

    Jessica Stam in Numero (October 2011)
    In Sophie’s Closet: Vintage OSCAR DE LA RENTA Button Earrings

    We love the vintage feel in many fall editorials. There is a particular focus on 1950s and 60s ladylike style. Take Jessica Stam in Numero gorgeously styled in a little chapeau and big clip-on button earrings. So pretty!


    Kate Winslet in W (October 2011)
    In Sophie’s Closet: MIRIAM HASKELL Flower & Leaf Button Earrings
    NOIR Panther Ring

    Or Kate Winslet in W magazine channeling Elizabeth Taylor in leopard print, floral studs and a tiger cocktail ring (you know how much we love animal motifs).


    Lara Stone in V (September 2011)
    In Sophie’s Closet: KENNETH JAY LANE Aqua Peridot Drop Earrings;
    KENNETH JAY LANE Aqua Peridot Drop Necklace

    Then there is Lara Stone in this ultra quirky V Magazine take on the 1950s glam beauty, complete with dazzling sapphires, Hermes, and little porcelain puppies.


    Vogue Japan (October 2011)
    In Sophie’s Closet: ERICKSON BEAMON ‘Bosa Nova’ Earrings

    We can’t go glam without a bit of 1980s. Here is Crystal Renn in this colourful, very Dynasty-inspired Vogue Japan editorial. Her big hair, big lips, that little hat, that veil, and those pretty pink earrings — perfection!

  • FALL FLORALS… inspired by LANVIN F/W 2011

    FALL FLORALS… inspired by LANVIN F/W 2011

    Lanvin F/W 2011

    Lanvin is definitely one of our favourite runway collections for the fall season. Of course, Alber Elbaz always does beautiful clothing, but this time we couldn’t take our eyes off the jewels. Opulent and vintage inspired florals took centre stage against the backdrop of crisp and sculptural tailoring. Since we are always in for a little floral action, we are all over this look.

    VINTAGE Extra Large Rhinestone Earrings

    ERICKSON BEAMON ‘Gold Digger’ Earrings

    LEIVANKASH ‘Olivia’ Rose Ring

    LULU FROST Crystal Mesh Bracelet

    The big dramatic flower is so incredibly stunning, it would look great with anything, let alone a pink Lanvin dress. And it looks so wonderfully vintage: part Victorian, part art deco.

    ERICKSON BEAMON ‘Great Expectation’ Bracelet

    ERICKSON BEAMON ‘Gold Digger’ Ring

    NOIR Pave Floral Ring

    ERICKSON BEAMON ‘Pomp & Circumstance’ Bracelet

    Then there are these beautiful stacked floral cuffs. Again, slightly on the antique side. So lovely juxtaposed against the modern and sculptural red Lanvin dress.

    In this case, size really does matter. Choose big statement pieces and layer them together. Because, according to Lanvin, multiple florals are as chic as it gets!

  • Jewellery Inspiration: BLAKE LIVELY’s Earrings

    Jewellery Inspiration: BLAKE LIVELY’s Earrings

    We have a serious style crush on Blake Lively. No, not her character Serena Van Woodsen but Blake herself. She has made Vogue’s Best Dressed list, is a face of Chanel and allegedly dating one of Hollywood’s most desirable bachelors, Leonardo Di Caprio. But you know what we noticed? She has a thing for emerald earrings!


    Vintage VALENTINO Earrings
    Vintage PANETTA Button Earrings
    BOUNKIT Green Onyx and Citrine Earrings

    We love how she paired a very contemporary Chanel dress with vintage-looking emerald earrings. We have similar vintage ones by Valentino and Panetta, although Bounkit’s pear-shaped earrings are lovely too.


    BOUNKIT Agate Earrings
    KENNETH JAY LANE Emerald Drop Earrings

    Seen here in a sexy black see sheer dress, Blake opted for a high ponytail and bright emerald drop earrings to balance things out.


    KENNETH JAY LANE Emerald Earrings
    BOUNKIT Earrings with Faceted Green Onyx

    Looking very high fashion in a strong-shoulder Balmain sequin dress. Hair up in a long beautiful braid with rich emerald clip-ons on her ears. They are the same shape as our Bounkit ones, although the diamond shaped Kenneth Jay Lane’s are stunning too.

    I think we have found a jewellery aficionado in Blake!

  • PRETTY PICTURES: Leighton Meester in L’Officiel

    PRETTY PICTURES: Leighton Meester in L’Officiel

    JR_Leighton Meester_L'Officiel Cover_May 2011_hi 2
    L’Officiel Lithuania (March 2011)

    Our favourite Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester, looked drop dead gorgeous on the cover of L’Officiel. Her hair was slicked back with neutral and dewy makeup. She wore a stunning pink Lanvin halter top with a super bright and summery Jil Sander (one of our favourite S/S shows) skirt. On both of her wrists: Kenneth Jay Lane bangles!

    AAA0120130213Kenneth Jay Lane Double Lion Head Bracelet

    We are glad that she wore one of our favourites: This pearl double lion head bracelet.

    COEUR_ALEXEI.indd
    Inside the magazine, Leighton wore a minimalist Max Mara top accessorized with more Kenneth Jay Lane bangles!

    DSC_004s8_150
    Kenneth Jay Lane Black Enamel Tiger Bracelet

    This enamel tiger also made an appearance! Isn’t he adorable? And for extra sparkle between her animal friends, Leighton wore ‘plain’ ornamental bangles. We love a girl that knows how to mix and match her jewels!

    Catching Up With GOSSIP GIRL Jewelry and Accessories

    We are loving the start of Gossip Girl season 4. Things are getting really juicy with the Chuck vs Blair war and the impending return of Little J.

    Gossip Girl Serena Blair

    We admit that the other storyline involving the new character Juliet’s hunt for Serena’s dignity is a little boring, but we can put up with some boredom as long as the girls are looking as fabulous as they’ve been this season.

    Sophie's Closet_Siman Tu_GG5 Episode 1 “Belles du Jour”:
    SIMAN TU Five Strand Pearl Choker (AED 3600)

    Blair Waldorf has always been number 1 on the Gossip Girl style watch. Maybe it’s because she loves the same designers we do, Siman Tu and Bounkit, and she is always perfectly accessorized.

    Sophie's Closet_Siman Tu_GG10 Episode 2 “Double Identity”:
    SIMAN TU “Butterfly” Necklace 

    In Paris, Blair played up her flirty and feminine style with bold prints and big statement accessories like the Siman Tu pearl and coral choker and the Siman Tu Pave Butterfly necklace.

    Sophie's Closet_Siman Tu_GG3 Episode 2 “Double Identity”:
    SIMAN TU CZ Tiara

    In New York, Blair keeps her style a little more minimal, sticking to one or two colours and simpler accessories like the pink blazer paired with a purple Bounkit amethyst cuff and the Badgley Mischka victorian bow necklace with the silver sequined dress.

    Sophiescloset.com_BadgleyMischka_VictorianBowNecklace_BlairWaldorf_GossipGirl_AED1,790 Episode 3 “The Undergraduates”:
    BADGLEY MISCHKA Victoria Bow Necklace

    blairbounkitcuff     Episode 5 “Goodbye Columbia”:
    BOUNKIT Faceted Amethyst Cuff 

    Blair may be #1 on our style watch, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t head-over-heels in love with Serena’s, Lily’s and Vanessa’s style. This season on Gossip Girl, Serena Van Der Woodsen looks more beautiful than ever (and we are keeping fingers crossed for her and Nate).

    serenagossipgirlsiman Episode 3 “The Undergraduates”:
    SIMAN TU Cuff 

    Her style is becoming more sophisticated with time and she is becoming a budding classic beauty like her mother Lily. It’s no wonder they both wore this Siman Tu cuff this season (Lily wore the grey stone version of it in “Double Identity”)

    lilysimangreen Episode 2 “Double Identity”:
    SIMAN TU Malachite Drop Necklace

    Lily has always worn Siman Tu but this drop necklace may be the most stunning one yet! Paired with a brown silk dress and one of her signature chignons, Lily is absolute perfection.

    gossipgirlbraceletEpisode 1 “Belles du Jour”:
    BOUNKIT Turquoise Amethyst Bracelet

    No, we are not forgetting about Vanessa Abrams. Why does this poor girl always end up being dumped by Dan? She is so stunningly beautiful! She stays true to her bohemian roots but that doesn’t mean she skimps on expensive accessories: Vanessa also loves Bounkit!

    bounkitgossipgirlvanessa Episode 5 “Goodbye Columbia”:
    BOUNKIT Cuff with Faceted Green Onyx

    We definitely approve of her taste in bracelets, especially the amazing Bounkit cuff she paired with a Catherine Malandrino dress in “Goodbye Columbia.” She wore the orange one, but we have it in a stunning green onyx. C’mon Dan, get it together!

    gg44avanessa Episode 5 “Goodbye Columbia”:
    BOUNKIT Earrings

    We wonder whether Little J will return with the same goth punk look or whether she had a makeover over the summer (we are hoping for a makeover). We’ll make sure to catch up with our favourite show again soon. You know you love us! Xoxo.
