Before there was Rachel Zoe, there was Jennifer Hluska.  Half Italian, half Polish, she has a flair for putting together those outfits of cheap mall clothing and a sky high pair of Costume National ankle boots.  Or vice versa, a Marni dress off Ebay with pleather flip flops.  Her fashion sense sometimes mimics her mood swings.  high low, high low.  Lucky for her, she is petite and all clothing looks good on her.  I on the other hand, cannot seem to get away with it as easily.  Most things from Forever 21, or should I say Forever 31 since our thirties are the new twenties, are ill fitting on me.  I either look four months pregnant or like I got dressed in the dark.  

The YSL screw ring is an exaggerated gold toned adjustable ring.  it’s purely for flash factor and satisfies the high low craving we all have.  She was flashing it around one day and I had to have it.  Working on Rodeo Drive doing hair, has your advantages.  She was able to pick one up for me the very next day.  We knew they would be selling out quickly since it was highlighted in Bazaar or Vogue last month in their high, low mixing it up article.  I couldn’t find this style on the YSL site but i think they still have the silver toned ones left at the store.  

The concept is so cool, but it’s a shame it is poorly made.  The YSL logo is already about to fall off.  It is much too thin and light in comparison to the weight of the rest of the ring, and I’ve only worn it twice.  It’s a great conversation piece though and for those men out there reading this…. YSL makes great, affordable costume jewelry pieces that make great gifts.  And if your significant other doesn’t like it, it would make a great down payment towards a handbag.  I don’t think I got screwed, (har har) but just thought I should warn people out there about the faulty design.
