Trunks Up!

 This year animals, and not just their prints, were covering all sorts of fashion ground. At Helene m. we have had fabulous baubles by Kenneth Jay Lane: tiger, snake, zebra, and elephant necklaces and truly oversized bracelets. Animal opulence! Fashion’s fascination with the animal kingdom has never wavered; Kenneth Jay Lane has been designing costume jewelry of this sort since he worked with Jackie O. and our best gal Audrey Hepburn.The elephant is again gracing us with its presence, this season from Lilly Pulitzer. An envelope clutch in patent leather with a beautifully adorned gold elephant, trunk up, signifying good luck. As one would imagine this patent number is available in the hottest of pinks, in true Lilly form. We have navy, too, for the more subtle gal. The shoe couldn’t be more fabulous, just check it out in this pic on one of our shoppers. They give a grand finish to any outfit and add a sense of wild whimsy!
