Greenwich Lifestyle Magazine’s April Issue celebrates local artisans, stores and shops that are the network and foundation of our community. I am thrilled to share some that I personally love to have in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and neighboring New York.
MILA GEMS | FAMILY OWNED, HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY.
Featuring the Round Malachite Diamond Necklace in 14K Yellow Gold, $550. I am currently living for all pops of green, and this necklace adds some spice to any look – solo or layered – while still being subdued enough for daily wear.
MILA GEMS is family-owned, handcrafted and offers a variety of trendy and classic jewelry staples. Looking for a custom, bespoke piece? Be sure to reach out to Info@MilaGems.com, as they would be more than happy to help make your vision come to life.

CLUB MONACO | CLASSIC, EFFORTLESS, MODERN ESSENTIALS
Featuring the Cropped Leather Jacket in Noir, $595. While this silhouette is a departure from the popular leather moto jacket, it is refined and elevated in all the right ways, all while staying classic in its execution, making it the perfect thrown-on for all occasions. Having a leather jacket – regardless of the style – is a crucial staple in any wardrobe.

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE | CONNECTING YOU TO THE BEST STYLE THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER
Featuring The Loewe L-Buckle Leather Belt in Tan Gold, $390. This little number is a great addition to your wardrobe, as it works with a plethora of styles and can be dolled up or toned down. I would wear this with jeans, slacks, shorts, skirts and dresses alike. I also especially love this hue spring through fall.

BETTERIDGE | HISTORIC, FINE JEWELER
Featuring ANITA KO 18k White Gold 1.72cttw Diamond Leaf Drop Earrings, $6,350. We all know I am a sucker for diamonds, and this season I am very into a statement earrings, as well as getting dressed up. I love that these are not too big but make a splash. They are unique, yet elegant. I would pair these with jeans, a white tee, my Club Monaco cropped leather jacket and a cute kitten heel for day or a fun silver, sequin mini skirt, white button-down blouse and top-handle bag for a brisk spring evening.
Betteridge was founded in 1897 and is one of America’s historic, fine jewelers with locations in Greenwich, Aspen and Vail.

DARIEN SPORT SHOP | LOCAL, FAMILY-OWNED DEPARTMENT STORE
Featuring A.L.C. Aries Satin Pleated Dress in Black, $795. Wedding season is right around the corner, and I am loving this as a guest dress. Sleek and minimal yet interesting to look at. I also feel that this dress could be worn year-round, depending on what accessories it is styled with.
Darien Sport Shop is a great one-stop-shop for the entire family. Their perfectly cultivated, yet vast departments include Women, Kids, Men, Home, Bath & Body, Accessories, Outdoor and Ski. I highly recommend this as your go-to destination for gift-giving.

FÉROCE | SMART LUXURY | HANDMADE | POLARIZED | ITALIAN ACETATE
Featuring Heather in Cargo, $145. As I mentioned prior, I am really into greens as of late, particularly emeralds. This pair is timeless, while being a little sassy, and the pop-of-color makes this pair a 10/10 for me. I own these in several colors, and they come in a slew of colorways – with Bronze being another one of my favorites.
I love this brand as they have styles that are modern and classic in fun, as well as staple hues. The price point is also very accessible.

THE REALREAL | FASHION’S FAVORITE SOURCE FOR AUTHENTICATED LUXURY
Featuring the GUCCI Medium Jackie 1961 Hobo, $2,350. This GUCCI hobo is on-trend and a revival of a tried-and-true bag. I love that you can get it secondhand at The RealReal, allowing you to be sustainable while shopping for such a luxury item. The gold-tone, push-lock hardware ties the entire bag together in a tailored manor, helping to top off any outfit you pair it with.
