Chandelier Dressing and Champagne on Ice
Few things invigorate me more than the chandelier shops on the Lower East Side. They’re quiet, shimmering opulence against horns honking and dirty sidewalks, and passing by their windows makes me feel like I’m resting for a few brief seconds in someone’s rich mom’s living room.
Chandeliers, both as the architecture of jewelry and the jewelry of architecture, evoke old money, new money, Miss Teen USA, ballroom-dancing competitions, and now, YOU. Chandelier dressing is all the rage, and the more it drips the better. From ’80s shoulder-skimming earrings to AREA’s fringe pants, these pieces are icy, icy, icy. đź’Ž
