Sister Act

Over the weekend here in Palm Beach I experienced a high school reunion of sorts. Fellow Bolles alums and sisters Danielle and Jodie Snyder, the designing duo behind the very hip collection {Dannijo} jewelry popped into town to set up shop at Eye of the Needle. Unfortunately Danielle and Jodie didn't make the trip, however the very chic Michelle Fawbush (yet another Bolles alum and Dannijo sales director) hosted the trunk show and graciously introduced me to the very trend-on collection. Danielle and Jodie who grew up in Jacksonville, got their design start early by teaching themselves wire work with their father's medical instruments. After a small boutique stint in Jax, college educations and a move to NYC, the sister's went at it again officially launching the company in Spring 2008. With a devoted fan base, celeb following and point of sales at major upscale boutiques and stores, these sisters are well on their way. What I love about the collection is the rough luxe aesthetic mixed with various elements of fancy. And you can practically pair up any piece with any element in your wardrobe creating various looks, whether it be rocker, dressy, classic, boho chic or everyday cool. These are definitely two girls to follow and a collection worth checking out. And I might add, perfect bauble pieces for holiday gifting. -KL
