My button down shirt, neglected in recent months. The theme for this week’s Dressing Charlotte is about reworking the button down, a closet staple, into something fresh for spring. I realized on Sunday that button downs haven’t gotten much trend love in the past few seasons, and therefore my lonely button down has been stranded [...]

[Soc Chic Giveaway winners] Daniela in Lisboa, Portugal wearing her new Jess LC necklace. I mentioned last month that thanks to our efforts “out and about” on the internet, we have seen a big spike in international Jess LC orders and fans. Most recently we added Australia and Portugal to the list. We always ask [...]

For Dressing Charlotte this week I channeled one of the easiest looks I have for going out to dinner in the Loop, or just about anywhere. By layering a cardigan over a halter top I stay warm and look divine. Plus, if I go somewhere else later that night, the cardigan comes off and the [...]

Big news! Busy bees have been buzzing around our jewelry studio the last few weeks getting ready to launch a new sister line for Jess LC, Studio 1423. We named the line Studio 1423 because it’s our actual studio number and it sounds like a cool name for a jewelry collection. Don’t you think? our [...]

Attention: This week’s Dressing Charlotte actually breaks my own accessory rule. Previously, I have advised women to avoid wearing necklaces with turtlenecks entirely. But if you have seen me around much this winter, you know I have been breaking this rule about four times a month. Horrid! Here is the revised rule for 2009: Don’t [...]

My new Intentional Obsession is an oversize watch. Currently, I don’t wear a watch and substitute my cell phone as a timepiece. But with summer approaching, I am thinking of a watch as more a piece of jewelry or standout accessory than a functional object. Function follows form, if you will. I have narrowed down [...]

This week’s Post Its are a bit eclectic, just they way they should be. Enjoy! A Link Love post I made for Dolan Geiman’s blog which reveals my inspiration for the next Jess LC collection. Because of this before and after I am going thrift shopping this weekend. The new recycled wine glasses I am [...]

This week’s Dressing Charlotte is a look I created for myself using my Grandma’s vintage silk scarves. When she passed away, I inherited a handful of these great accessories. I am not sure how often she wore them, or what era they are from (1960′s or 1970′s?). But the same look can be achieved with [...]

Meet Charlotte. She’s the newest member of the Jess LC team. She’s blonde. She’s skinny. She doesn’t say much. But boy does she sure look cute wearing my clothes. As a jewelry designer, people often ask me what jewelry I like to personally wear. My hope is to use this new recurring segment, Dressing Charlotte, [...]

You would think that someone who is interested in living simply would fix or throw away boots with a broken zipper. But strangely, that has not been the case for me and my tall brown boots. These questionably faux leather boots were my “go to” shoe of winter, 2007. I wore them daily until the [...]
