Shashi Bracelets: Rooted by Spirituality

The designer duo of the jewelry line Ruby Kobo, Yuvi Alpert and Danna Kobo, created a second collection, Shashi, that is more casual while maintaining the quality of high end designer jewelry.

This line encompasses the different cultures of India, Morocco, Nepal and Africa. But the line was initially inspired when temple bracelets were being handed out during Hindu prayer services that the designers attended. The Shashi collection was rooted by spirituality, and now all of us fashionistas can bedazzle our wrists with these stylish bracelets.

The Wedge: To Splurge or to Conserve?

It's the season for wedges, and I am obsessed with the Christian Louboutin Praia Wedge sandals for  $595.00. As I try to justify why I should add these to my shoe collection, I remember (or I temporarily forgot) that I have a very similar pair of Michael Kors "Violet", that I bought 2 months ago for $195.00. So that took care of any justification that I should shell out $600 for these shoes. Well, what about Louboutin's signature red soles?
For the budget fashionista, the"Violet" Michael Kors, is the the more affordable alternative and you'll still be walking in style, of course, without the red soles.
Okay, so The Louboutins are the more stylish and unique looking of the two wedges, but are they worth the extra $400 and change?
What do you think?
