Hearts and Blouses for Valentine’s Day

February 8, 2008 by WendyB

Yoox is having a cutely named “Be My Valentino” sale of Valentino items through Feb. 14. You have to register for the site to shop the sale. How do you pronounce “Yoox,” anyway? Inquiring minds want to know.

A romantic Valentino top

Also, my Sophie heart necklace is about to be sent off to its new life with a gorgeous client.


Don’t worry, I’m not ruining any surprises. The gorgeous client bought it for herself. I would say 99% of my clients are women who make their own purchases. I think that’s due to all the powerful ladies who inspire my work. The jewelry draws women who know their own minds and want something extraordinary…something fit for a queen, I might say.

    I would hope one of these day when I’m no longer a poor student I can get a necklace from you inspired by Empress Wu, or Woo. Hehe..

    If I waited around for some man to buy me jewelry, I’d be cooling my heels a long time. We have to buy for ourselves!

    That is a very nice piece of jewelry. Nice job setting the stones.

    I want it, and that blouse.

    From an entry over at Fashion Nation:

    //edit: We’ve received notification from the good Yoox people, and their cute name is pronounced as Youx, not Youk! Apologies! (:

    Wait are you telling me it’s not “Uuuuuux?” WTF?!

    Ooh, thanks for the pronunciation help!
    BTW, peeps, see that lined down the center of the heart? You can twist the heart into an oval shape. And back, of course.

    “‘yoox’? Did you just say ‘Yoox'”?

    sorry couldn’t resist.

    What a divine blouse, and the necklace actually goes well together. Clever invention as always, Wendy, now there’s a necklace that transforms. Autobots, Decepticons, anyone?

    You can twist that thing? That is v. clever.

    the fact that you can manipulate it makes it even more appealing…
