LARAH & KHARMA

Miamai has released Larah, another amazing top with the tango applier option combined with a mesh attachment. I love the simplicity of the Larah top and how it can be paired with a nice pair of slacks like Miamai's Mahvi Pants for a evening at an art gallery, or a mini skirt for a night at the clubs. When styling this look I searched for a set of jewels that could work well with a sequin top, complete the look, and not fight for focus. Frustrated I took a break and went to see Chop Zuey's group gift and there they were, the perfect jewelry set in the Kharma Collection. As you can see they have a certain glamour of their own but compliment the styling instead of trying to over power the look. This is a fine line that I find jewelry designers often struggle with. The ability to make their items eye catching yet not so powerful you are gem blind and miss the great outfit the person is wearing. Belle Roussel walks this fine line with an ease and grace that is astonishing. Not to say that some of her items are not 'Oh my wow' because they are, and with the right gown or outfit her jewels take center stage in a styling. One of the things that I am constantly amazed over is the quality and frequency of Chop Zuey's gifts. As a designer her collections are simply sublime and the group cost of 350 is so worth the Lindens spent. I make a point of grabbing both the mens and women's gifts from Chop Zuey it is amazing how with just a little sizing a piece of mens jewelry makes a powerful impact on the feminine wardrobe!
