Lots of good things have come out of Brooklyn—think rapper Jay-Z and Junior's cheesecake. But now you can add Thea Grant's jewelry line to that list. Each collection—named for neighborhoods like Red Hook and Williamsburg in the designer's native borough—consists of vintage objects mid with sterling silver or gold for a look is delicately gothic. Keep these chic accessories under wraps? Forget about it!

2/5The Misshapes
Designer Kenzo Takada has always been known for bringing a fun and colorful perspective to the fashion industry—after all, some of his shows were held in circus tents. And his new perfume Amour is no different. While the frangrance—made with hints of white tea, Tahitian rice steam, and cherry blossoms—is no doubt a winning scent, it's the vibrant packaging that has us smelling sweet success.
