Last Friday, I had the pleasure of joining new-to-me jewelry designer, Brandy Pham, for lunch at The T Room! Having just moved to Dallas from New York after living there for seven years, I wanted to take her to my favorite weekday lunch spot to give her a warm welcome to Texas. She is such a sweetheart and her pieces are beautiful – all of her jewelry is handcrafted in New York, New York. Brandy was kind enough to gift me with a piece from her current collection, which happened to be this needle bracelet you see here. The needle design is unique, but it’s classic enough to wear everyday and layer with your other favorite bracelets and cuffs. I’m super tempted to add the double needle ring and these needle bar studs to my collection – they’re so simple and understated, but different and unexpected.

Right before Brandy and I met for lunch, I had a few minutes to kill, so I perused the current collections at Forty Five Ten. Leave it to me to find something to buy! I purchased this new pair of Celine sunglasses – the black ones I have are a staple for me and I wear them all the time, but I wanted another classic alternative in a different color. I love the thick frames and slight cat eye silhouette of these!
