Carole Tanenbaum Collaboration Day 4

We had a really fun chat with Carole and asked her, what are her favourite pieces to collect and what is she obsessed with? Carole said that she is in love with Shreiner pins and has over 600 pieces in her collection. We couldn't believe that we had never heard of Shreiner pins before because they are so stunning! (See our Shreiner heart below) Another one of her obsessions is French Art Deco Celluloid bangles that glitter with crystals. They are from the 1920's and they remind her of the artist Man Ray. The French call celluloid French Ivory and we call them sparkle heaven! They are being showcased today! We had sooo much fun doing this collaboration with Carole! She has really taught us so much about vintage jewelry and she is so inspiring! To see more and to shop Shreiner and crystal bangles click HERE

The Look: Carole Tanenbaum Collaboration + Green Bugs

Fun Fact: I have a "green problem"!!! Ahhh!!! I have been sooooo into green that I could paint my bedroom walls green!!! (That might be a regrettable one!) So, when I walked in to Carole's studio and saw that big vintage dragonfly I nearly lost it! I had to wear it! And I loved the idea of putting lots of bugs on my green sweater and letting them hang out for the day! I felt like I was wearing a bug bib all day and I was so happy! My grandmother always wears bug pins and she collects them so wearing them is so special to me because it reminds me of her. Also, the gold bracelet with the green gem stone is one of my favourite bracelets I have ever seen! I love how it looks like a precious bow. But seriously, I could talk about Carole's jewelry all day... I love how the green ring looks like its casting a spell on whomever looks at it! In the last picture, a bride and groom strolled by and I screamed out " Congratulations!" and she shouted back, " I love your bug pins!" Haha!! Carole's online shopping website officially launched yesterday! And she has sooo many more amazing jaw dropping (and drooling) pieces! So check it out HERE!

Carole Tanenbaum Collaboration Day 1

Carole Tanenbaum is just the coolest vintage collector around! We were sooooo excited when we met her last month because we always see her name in magazines like Vogue, W, Elle, Glamour, Marie Claire and Flare! She is the most fabulous and sweetest woman with the most impeccable taste! We totally understand why every major stylist around the world wants to work with Carole, and why the celebs are always so excited to wear her vintage.

Carole hand picks all of the pieces and she has over 20,000 pieces in her collection! Her jewelry pieces aren't just vintage pieces, they are masterpieces that she sells exclusively around the world to department stores and boutiques. Michelle Obama wore Carole Tanenbaum vintage to the Inauguration with Isabel Toledo's yellow dress! And when Sarah Jessica Parker gets all dolled up for Sex and The City events, she wear's Carole Tanenbaum Vintage. Other clients include, Lindsay Lohan, Gwenyth Paltrow, Nelly Furtdado, and Natalie Portman. How fabulous is that!

So when we met, we just hit if off right away! We had sooooo much to talk about because she has been collecting vintage jewelry for over 25 years! And you know our obsession with vintage! We collect clothes from all around the world and always need accessories to wear! So, we went to her studio and it blew our mind! We had sore throats from screaming about her jewelry when we left.

Carole's amazing collection includes trays and trays and trays of EVERYTHING you could imagine: Bakelite, figural pins, Scottish Victorian jewelry, Czech pieces and designer stamped jewels by some of the most important design houses throughout North America and Europe, including Chanel, Trifari, Haskell, Schiapparelli, Hobe, Boucher and many others. She also color co-ordinates all of the vintage jewelry so that it looks like Candyland in her showroom.

We were honoured when Carole asked us to do a collaboration together. It's a dream come true when you can wear GORGEOUS eclectic jewelry with an outfit!!! Carole is re-launching her online website today! YAY! She has amazing jewelry and it's so much fun to shop vintage with her! So click HERE to check it out and shop!

Fun Fact: This necklace was the first piece that I saw when I walked into Carole's studio! I am soo obsessed with the mini pearls around the brown stones. I also loved how Gladiator and African warrior princess it was that I decided to base my whole look around this necklace and feeling. I styled it with African looking Bakelite bracelets that are different colors that have a 70's kind of feel. I loved the wooden bracelets with them. I also put on some amber rings and an owl ring with green eyes. I definitely think Iris Apfel would approve this look!
