I managed to hunt down these limited edition Eugenia Kim for Target fedoras pictured above at a local Target.  They are sold out on Target’s website, but I have 1 of each for sale on eBay. If you are interested, click here to visit the sale page for the green fedora and click here to visit the sale page for the black one.  The sale ends on Sunday, May 2nd, 2010.

Melody Ehsani

Do you know Melody Ehsani? You may not know it but you have probably seen some of the L.A. native’s designs on some of your favorite celebrities. Her jewelry has been spotted on Keri Hilson (remember her Turning Me ON/OFF rings?), Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, and Ciara to name a few. 

Does this image look familiar:

The earrings in the MAC Style Warrior Collection promotional image are Ehsani’s Fatima Geometric.

Melody Ehsani’s jewelry is for those who don’t mind being noticed and pushing the envelope. It is not for those who just lean against the wall at the club. Her jewelry is not just an accessory, it is a piece of art.

Check out some images of the look book of her new collection I found on her blog: (more…)

I did a Luxe Obsession post on the CC Skye accessories brand a few weeks ago so you can imagine my excitement when I heard that Gilt Fuse was having a CC Skye sale. Squeal!

The CC Skye Jewelry and the CC Skye Handbag sale are live now! The sales end on October 10th, 2009 at midnight EST. If you love CC Skye head over to Gilt Fuse now to get your hands on the item(s) you want before they sell out. I picked up a set of 2 Enamel Stud Bangles and the Nana Bangle for approximately 70% off retail price. Bananas!

Gilt Fuse is an invitation only website. Not a member? Click here for an invitation. They only ship within the United States at this time.

I will think about these babies for the 2-3 weeks it will take for them to get home. Usually items don’t take that long to ship from Gilt Groupe but I am willing to wait because of the money I am saving. If you are a fashionista that appreciates quality and likes to invest in pieces that will last for years, if not forever, this is a site you need to join. I love flower earrings so I could not pass on those Filigree Flower Earrings. Those purple gems make them even more adorable. I would pair them with a purple dress. Maybe not purple to not be so matchy matchy. Perhaps another color outfit without any prints. Something about that Three Chain and Flower Brooch Necklace screams vintage chic. I just need to find the perfect little black dress to pair with the necklace.

Welcome to the first installment of Luxe Obsessions. It is a spotlight on brands that I love but would certainly break my bank.

I am an accessories junkie. Accessories brand CC Skye is a celebrity favorite (Hilary Duff, Lauren Conrad, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian to name a few fans) and their items are often featured in a variety of magazines. I am a fan of their modern and art deco infused style (it reminds me of Miami, one of my favorite cities).

Here are a few of my favorites:

Enamel Deco Bangle 

Style/Color: Monaco Purple (more colors/styles avail.)

Retail Price: $150

Enamel Deco Bangle

Style/Color: Soho White (more colors/styles avail.)

Retail Price: $150
