It wants to be discovered.”  This large brooch is a solid 18k yellow gold casting of a Ginko leaf where each curve and vein of the leaf detailed in its own earthy beauty.  Measures 3 1/2″ long and just under 2 1/2″ at the widest point, this piece will be a simple yet bold statement on any lapel.  Weighs 18.5 grams with an estimated retail value of $2,500.  Priced at $899.  SOLD

VIKA GAZINSKAYA Pink Silk Flamingo Dress with Black Sleeves Size 4

Most of the times social media and style blogs are used just for fun; but sometimes they can launch a career for someone who might have been otherwise overlooked.  This is the case for Vika Gazinskaya, a Moscow native who had been working as an fashion assistant since going to design school in the late 1990’s.  Her street style started being noticed on top fashion blogs like the Sartorialist and Tommy Ton’s Jak & Jill.  With Gazinskaya’s notoriety climbing, she was able to launch her own company that specializes in creating pieces that have a structured yet voluminous shape as well as a touch of artistic whimsy.  This aesthetic is perfectly shown in the adorable dress we just received.  Pink silk creates a straight sheath cut for the main body but is accented with both volume and whimsy, just as promised.  Flamingos lined up under trees are printed in a hand drawn pattern that has us dreaming of sunnier days.  The volume is highlighted within the puffed black sleeves that have small pleats along the edge that creates the structure within the puff.  Designed with an off the shoulder cut and corset style boning within the bust, this dress will have everyone talking about your style! Fits like a size 4.  Retailed for $3,840 in 2018.  Priced at $599.
