MAVEN PICK: MIANSAI

Mornin' everybody. Happiest of Fridays to all of you...looking forward to a fun weekend...we'll see if I can drag David dearest to the parade again this year...I love being Irish for the day...

In other news, I always have my eye out for unique pieces (of the jeweled variety) of all kinds that still manage to have an every day, utility to them. For oodles of time now I've been a fan of Miansai's screw cuff bracelets-  it has the feel of my all time fav Cartier bracelet (the juste un clou) but with a formidably better price tag. It comes in brass, silver, gold, and rose gold and is a sensational piece- I spotted it in a local boutique some time ago and then again on the wrist of a stylist I recently worked with which affirmed its genius. It's one of my favs. Miansai's designs are influenced by nautical themes and New England, and they get extra bonus points for being based in midtown MIami in a cool space in the buzziest neighborhood.

And on that note, the wonderful folks over there make lots of cool stuff for men- having always been on the lookout for a good men's watch, you can't go wrong with these. I'm hearting the all navy one on the far left because I adore navy and it's got that prep thing I'm a big fan of in the summer time. With khaki shorts and a button down or with jeans and a tee, it's good times. I always look at a man's watch when I meet them and this one would definitely pass inspection.And at under $400, it's a nice piece to hold on to, but won't mismanage your hedge fund. I showed it to a super fashionable male friend of mine who also is a bit of a prep and he adored it. I also dig this black rope one as well, a good and simple find with a bit of a take on the classic black watch. Adorbs. 

I love all of their nautically themed pieces as well- from anchor bracelets to fish hooks, it's all there for summer accessorizing fun. Miansai is def one to watch when it comes to rugged pieces that are manly but still super chic. And those screw bracelets are all kinds of good for the ladies in your life, or if you are the lady in your life, treat yourself to one. I also love the Quay bracelet- a ropey and metallic number that would feel very much at home in Montauk, Maine, or Miami. 

And that's what's up this screwy and watch filled Friday in the 212. Have a blessed weekend and Erin Go Bragh and such. XO
