Last night I attended the Charlotte Russe Launch Event - Fall 2009 - in New York City, and while I'm diligently working on my report for all of you, I thought I'd post a rather self-indulgent photo of the gorgeous beaded statement necklace and matching cuff that everyone got in their goodie bags. Fancy, huh? I actually saw someone wearing the necklace at the event and assumed it was Vera Wang or some one-of-a-kind piece by an independent artist that cost a small fortune. Needless to say, I loved it so much and was thrilled to discover that the lust-worthy piece was in fact affordable and in my goodie bag. I don't know the exact prices, but each piece probably costs around $10 if Charlotte Russe's current necklace offerings are any indication, so keep an eye out for these beauties in stores soon! Loads of ladies were wearing statement necklaces last night, a trend that will carry through into the fall for sure.
