And nothing stops us quite in our tracks like a woman in amazing jewelry. It’s not layers of bling that automatically impress, but the way she puts the pieces together, and of course the story behind them. Today’s installment of Street Style features a Soho shopper, with a great eye for mixing silver and gold.

Who: A Soho shopper

Where: Astor Place

What: Monica Rich Kosann silver chain-link bracelet, paired with a brass ring – carved out with an intricately detailed pattern – and Chanel Peridot nail polish. She also wears an Hermes bangle given to her by her mother, a vintage bakelite bangle from Pippin Vintage, and a woven friendship bracelet from her best friend. We love the skillful mix of silver and gold here – and the way the jewelry compliments her classically cool Alexander Wang bag.

More so than clothing it’s often jewelry that is handed down, given as a token of love or relationships and worn by a woman her entire lifetime no matter her age or size. And nothing stops us quite in our tracks like a woman in amazing jewelry. It’s not layers of bling that automatically impress, but the way she puts the pieces together, and of course the story behind them. Todays installment of Street Style features Publicist/Writer Victoria Alexander in a photo taken by Refinery29. Her bold mix of pieces from across the globe made us want to ask the key question: What is the story behind them?

Who: Victoria Alexander, Publicist/Writer

What: An eclectic mix of bracelets and cuffs collected from places all over the world.

Why we love it: The diversity of the collection, which includes pieces she has gathered from Mexico and India, invites conversation about the story behind each bracelet. When asked by Refinery29 if she had any tips for layering, Victoria replied “Wear color and Wear what you love.” We wholeheartedly agree.
