SNOW BLIND: Never wanting to blend in on the slopes, I love this ski suit from luxury sportswear label Goldbergh. Both fashionable and functional, it is what the modern woman wants in her suitcase when traveling to the slopes.

FIRE & ICE: This slinky and luxurious look from Oscar de la Renta is perfect for dancing the night away. I love it with this Frisée bracelet from ONDYN. With sparkling rows that dance and hang off the wrist, the bracelet is a spectacular representation of ONDYN’s signature articulated bezel-set diamonds. Pair with ONDYN’s Illumine earrings for the perfect red carpet, holiday, or party look.

WOW FACTOR: I love the whimsy of Aisha Baker’s jewelry. She creatively translates characters and tokens from children’s fairytales into contemporary jewelry pieces made from the highest- quality metals and stones. This quirky ring showcases a bold red lip molded from white gold set with white diamonds and bright rubies.
