Greenwich Lifestyle Magazine’s May Issue honors women and female-founded/owned businesses. I am thrilled to share some amazing brands that are backed by phenomenal women and have quality products to boot.
ZANY&SHY | SUSTAINABLE LUXURY JEWELRY
Featuring the Michelle Ring in 18K White Gold, $5,320. The graduated-wave design is a new, fun take on the classic diamond band. Whether looking to make a statement or stack, this ring will elevate your look, style and personality – yes, it’s that good. I wear mine on repeat. Shopping, diaper changes, cocktail parties, dinners, brunch, and just laying around the house, it’s always with me, adding sparkle and shine to my life.
All Zany&Shy’s pieces are available in 18K Recycled Yellow, White and Rose Gold. They use lab grown diamonds in the D-F color range only – all are also VS+ clarity only. If the jewelry you purchase contains a diamond 5mm+, you will receive IGI Certification. All pieces are handmade, made-to-order. They can customize pieces; whether you want a bigger or smaller diamond, different ring size, different chain length for your bracelet or necklace, Zany&Shy will make your order the way you envision it. They also offer FREE online consultations and direct communication with the owner/founder for top-of-the-line customer service and satisfaction.
Ordering Tip: Size down half a size due to the Michelle Ring’s unique shape. Other styles on the site run true to size.

LA LIGNE | WE WANNA BE ON YOU
Featuring the Jordan Dress, $450. This dress has a chokehold on me. The silhouette is flattering, the intricate material and fringe detailing is intriguing and different to look at. This is on my list of must-haves for the season – and if you are looking for an effortlessly cool dress, it should be on yours too.

KINN® | SOLID 14K GOLD TO EMBODY YOUR MANY MOMENTS LIVED – THEN, NOW, ALWAYS
Featuring Dare to Love Dome Ring I (NON-HOLLOW) in 14k Yellow Gold, $560. I wear this gorgeous, solid ring on my left pinky next to wedding stack – I love the pop-of-gold it adds. Regardless of the finger you have this sized for, it is a well-made, timeless design that is a great base for any ring collection. Can be worn layered or solo. Highly recommend this ring, and this brand.

RUNO | #HANDMADE
Featuring the Vince Sweater by Maridruna in Orange, $310. The padded shoulders, well-tailored waist and pop-of-color hue make this sweater a win for me. It will be the perfect colorful accent or highlight piece this season. Additionally, I love that this sweater is hand-knit and made with love. The quality and craftsmanship shine through. I promise, you will get compliments on this one everywhere you go.
RUNO /ru:nou/ A place where you can find unique pieces that are intended to be passed on, slowly made for a purpose and have a soul.

CECELIA NEW YORK | SHOES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
Featuring the Terrance Heel in Black, $158. This leather, heeled sandal with slender, rolled leather straps twist and knot around each other framed by a trend-right square toe and flared kitten heel.

CROWN AFFAIR | MINDFUL CARE FOR HEALTHIER HAIR
Featuring The Dry Shampoo with Kabuki Brush, $36. This award-winning dry shampoo is volumizing and nutrient-rich, giving you the ultimate illusion of just-washed locks. I adore everything about this product; before finding this brand, I was not on the dry shampoo bandwagon, as a matter of fact, I hated them. This dry shampoo is powder-based, easy to apply, has a delicious scent and leaves your hair smelling and looking fresh, sans residue. To boot, the packaging is sleek and elevated.
