alex + chloe probably isn't news to most, but with the mad simplification of jewelry of late (ie: layered, unadorned gold chains) i thought it might be worth the reminder. their 'from my neck of the woods' collection ranges from glammy folk-inspired pieces to sleek, sharp-looking cutouts:

i like that they're just enough to wear alone but not so overwhelming that you can't mix them up with a few more simple necklaces. and they've got a wicked sense of humor; check 'alex's octopus,' 'coco is dead: buried alive,' and 'coco is dead: knife fight."
