timeless tortoise

For whatever reason I am completely and totally drawn to all things tortoise shell.  From sunglasses, to home accessories, to jewelry – I love it all.  There is something so Ralph Lauren and timeless about it, don’t you think?  I think I adopted this love from our incredibly chic Mimi.  She is the most stylish grandmother I know.  No joke.  I have never seen the woman dress “dowdy” in all of my life.  

One of the things I love most about our Mimi’s style is the constant stack of bracelets donning her wrists.  (Not like in a creepy, gypsy, cat lady way).  She always wears the most amazing bracelets that she has gotten from their travels all over the world.  And thrown in with her stack there are always a couple of thin little tortoise bracelets that somehow seem to pull it all together.  Maybe this is where Molly and I learned to stack our wrists with pretties too.  

So…when I saw this tortoise cuff on the Tory Burch website, I kind of decided that I have to have it.  I think it will mix perfectly with my bracelet collection, but could also be worn alone as a great statement piece.
