Alexis Bittar

Elisa works in the jewelry industry, and has collaborated with the likes of Molly Sims for her HSN line. She also has an amazing eye, and she always discovers the best new (and vintage!) jewelry out there.

One of my favorite features of her blog is when she goes to The Brooklyn Flea to visit her friends who have the most amazing vintage jewelry collection; I drool over my keyboard every time she posts about their amazing wares!
