Salut Cuffies,

Need a little cafe au lait to start your day??? This snazzy cuff bracelet may be just the ticket! A city skyline silhouette is created in 14K gold plated metal. The "skies" are a sensual wet sand color, and are made of authentic stingray skin. This piece by New York based designer, Kara Ross, exemplifies both her love of nature and her passion for the "exotic". Her extensive world travel experience is reflected in her one-of-a-kind design aesthetic. Perfect for beach combers and city slickers alike this cuff sparkles like a diamond in the sand.

Bisous,
Lee

Salut Cuffies,

When I first heard that Disney was coming out with a jewelry line for women called Disney Couture, I admit...I snickered. The thought of a garish charm bracelet in pastel pinks and purples with shrinky-dink-esque plastic charms of all the Disney princesses made me shudder. So when I actually came across some of Disney Couture's new pieces this week, I realized...it's time to eat some humble pie Lee. DC is truly a fresh, funky line that incorporates all our fave Disney characters into modern, fashionable and extremely wearable pieces. A die-hard Pocahontas fan, I found myself drooling over this dainty gold plated cuff. The blue enamel turquoise accent in front adds the right amount of color to the two gold charms (yes you guessed it --- "Flit" the hummingbird, and "Meeko" the raccoon). As affordable as it is fun, you won't have to 'wish upon a star" to own this enchanting Pocahontas cuff.

Bisous,
Lee

Salut Cuffies,

Here's one frog you might not want to turn into a handsome prince. This fantasy creamy cuff by Roberto Cavalli --- aka. "the king of party glamour" --- is made of Plexi and has pewter-toned brass accents. A Swarovski-crystal embellished frog, hinged opening, and press-clasp fastener on the side are the finishing touch. Reminiscent of a luscious vanilla scented rain forest, it is simply dreamy... AND I might add, it has just the right amount of luxe and whimsy to make for a timeless addition to any wardrobe.

Salut Cuffies,

Organized chaos never looked so good! This ornate oxidized silver cuff --- a favorite of R&B songstress Joss Stone --- was fashioned by jewelry designers (and sisters) Danielle and Jodi Snyder. Their Dannijo label is most noted for its seamless integration of mixed metals with diverse color elements. Since each piece is handmade with love in their NYC studio, no two are exactly alike. Wrapped in chain and studded with rhinestones, the oxidation (or darkening of the sterling silver) gives this cuff an iced-out "Terminator II" feel. Rocker glam at its best, it's a solid bet that Joss Stone isn't the only cuffie in love with this piece.

Salut Cuffies,

Get up close and personal with this "wildly" sophisticated cuff from Rachel Leigh. Launched by former Yves Saint Laurent publicist Rachel Bravman in the Fall of 2004, the Rachel Leigh brand has become a favorite among celebrities --- Paris Hilton, Halle Berry, and Rhianna just to name a few. What I like about Bravman's pieces is that they are both accessible (Many online boutiques carry the line. Try Shopstyle.com!) and moderately priced enough (bracelets ranging from $47 to $326) to satisfy any fashionista. This Olivia cuff has sweet details like braided gold bows that make it fiercely feminine. Gold-plated with an pumkin orange snake embossed leather inset panel, it measures 1 1/2 wide and has a hinged closure. If you're smart, you won't let this lil' number slither past you...

Salut Cuffies,

Is it just me or does this Yves Saint Laurent cuff leave you feeling a bit...envious too??? New from the French fashion-house, the gold ribbed band is topped off with both a large and small green crystal, the latter encrusted in a gold setting. The cut of the expertly chosen larger stone reveals an inspiring pattern of swirls and rings that remind me of an ancient tree stump. At once organic and ornate, it sure would be 'easy being green' in this striking piece.
