Great word, timepiece - obviously I’m slowly becoming obsessed with knowing the time in a chic & heavily embellished way. For a watch - this is not so out of reach ($295) - very refreshing! Design duo Badgley Mischka were in a bad biz place for some time - I worked in the same building as BM, and would often see them in the elevator (forreal). I could never remember which one was which - and thought for a split second that I should study Style.com as I was always running into them & the puppy - but then my non fashion hemisphere got the best of me.

Lucky for bankruptcy’s sake - they must have hired a new jewelry designer because their collections are now not only all over editorial - but well deserved all over editorial (which is really saying a lot). The baubles are regal, statement pieces - and rival that of Balenciaga circa Fall 09. Oh, and it’s so friggin’ cute how the face opens & closes! It’s too bad I can’t awkwardly freeze up in the elevator next to them anymore, I’d love to gush - those all too often painful moments at 550 7th ave will be missed!
