So tell us how will you accessorize?

Here’s Meredith’s look from head-to-toe, along with the pieces from the new collection.

Last week, I attended a small gathering at lingerie wonderland Kiki de Montparnasse for a showing of the new capsule collection by jewelry line Made Her Think. The sexy, edgy, darkly glamorous line (including double-band chain rings, double-band bracelets, and pyramid totem necklaces) will be sold exclusively at the Greene Street boutique in New York City. The wildly chic designer, Meredith Kahn, chose to wear a custom William Calvert gown paired with cream Christian Louboutin stilettos (I love the way the light color of the shoes plays down the dramatic look of the gown). Most striking was her layered jewelry, from chunky costume bracelets piled high on the wrist, to her double-band chain ring, a favorite of Angelina Jolie.
