my good fortune

Sunday was a day that just got better and better. Despite the looming threat, it never rained. The quirky-cool high-design Brooklyn Flea in a school yard in Fort Greene was awash in occasional sun and some seriously stylish people— eye-candy on all sides (plus tasty treats). And then my friend Lori and I swung into fabulous A.P.C-packed men’s and women’s clothier Stuart & Wright, where I swooned over the work of Lizzie Fortunato. Check out these bad-ass earrings:

So bold, yet so refined. Like this bracelet, too— though you can’t really see it, the chunky knit fastens with the most delicate 14 carat gold chain:

It’s the jewelry I never knew enough to want. But just my luck— now I know better. Lizzie Fortunato, you’re on my list!

(And the icing on the cake? The G train was actually running. On a Sunday!)
