Rona Pfieffer

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Hellin Kay

I had coffee with jewelry designer Rona Pfieffer last week and fell in love with her jewelry (and her!) The pieces are delicate, intricate and soulfully crafted, a perfect storm for unique creations like hers. Handmade with everything from rose cut diamonds to wood, the pieces are one of a kind and sell at select boutiques. Fans include Johnny Depp, who has been wearing the necklaces on the red carpet as well as Michelle Pfieffer who wears the line throughout the film Dark Shadows which opened on Friday. Pics of Michelle and Johnny from the film’s premier below… Continue reading →

Alejandro Ingelmo Fall 2012

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Hellin Kay


I am sensing this shape and style, which he did a variant of the last few seasons, will be a staple in Alejandro Ingelmo‘s collections but I’m okay with that… sexy doesn’t get old around here.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted on May 12, 2012 by Hellin Kay

To all of the amazing moms in my life, first and foremost my own who gave me the courage to be myself and to follow my dreams… thanks for letting me think museums were more important than business school (though I think at this point even the museums would disagree). To my best friend (who I will celebrate with this weekend), to all of my friends that have Continue reading →

Bottega Veneta Resort 2013

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Hellin Kay

Sometimes I am just left speechless. I am so in love with this Bottega Veneta collection, I think I love it almost as much as Nina Ricci pre fall 2012 (yes, still talking about it… it’s like the ex who got away, it will be on my mind for years to come). More sublime gorgeousness below… Continue reading →

Cynthia Connolly in DC

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Hellin Kay

DC artist, music historian and legend Cynthia Connolly is having a show of her photography that opens this weekend May 11th through June 16th at Civilian Art Projects in DC. The opening reception is Friday 7-9pm, 1019 7th Street NW Washington, DC. Cynthia is amazing, she’s been shooting for over 30 years and has documented some amazing stuff in the music scene as well as all over the US on her myriad travels. She shot a gorgeous photo of me and my film crew (which included her then long time boyfriend Ian Mackaye) on the set of my senior film project at Bard in upstate NY in 1995. One of these days I will take it out of it’s frame and scan it so I can post it.

Onna Ehrlich

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Hellin Kay

A friend of mine was carrying an Onna Ehrlich bag last night and I totally flipped over it. Love the slouchy shape (never gets old), the colors and the hardware. Onna is LA-based and launched in 2004. She does super cute fine jewelry too. Delicious all around…
