What you wear on your right ring finger today you might want on your left pointer tomorrow, and of course you should get what you want. Adjustable rings are okay, but turn your hand over and your secret is out. Instead, try stretchy rings. Now available in far more than the irridescent beaded variety of head shops and your childhood, these elastic infused accessories are bonafide cocktail rings.

1. Betsey Johnson had a field day at the zoo and went stretch ring crazy. Crystalized animals, hearts and evil eyes can each jump from finger to finger along your hand. Heart, Octopus and Giraffe @ Zappos, Monkey and Evil Eyes @ Piperlime, Aligator @ Macy’s.

2. This elastically bound long linking rustic ring from Topshop is not only versatile, but more comfortable than a solid piece of metal of that length.

3. Double the fingers equals double the need for some stretch in the band. Try this Cara Accessories number from Nordstrom.

4. We fell in love with bow ties this year. Now wear one from pacsun on any finger you pretty please.

5. Spikes and chains are typically unforgiving, but the ring that these attach to is. Max&Chloe rock the danger dangle.

6. Hit up Old Navy (didn’t think I’d be saying that..) for a bright pinwheel stretch.

7. Beaded and black, and available in ivory as well, this Marlyn Schiff ring is a class act.

8. The bubbled thumbprint has a antiquarian effect, which it should as it’s made from antique gold by Amrita Singh.

9. From across the pond on Miss Selfridge, get a sea shell from their shores.

Now really stretch! It’s good for you.

The pre-show cocktails were as fanciful as the venue, butlered mini-desserts and crustless cucumber sandwiches were passed around while male models sported the Lanvin tuxedos with oversized bowties.  I pretended to be interested in the fancy finger foods while I chatted with a Teen Vogue editor about how we both felt much more Eloise than the Princess of Monaco.

The runway room was stunning – at least 20 crystal chandeliers dangled from the ceiling and an entryway with hundreds of white roses surrounded a neon sign sporting Lanvin [hearts] H&M. Name cards in calligraphy sported the names of top editors, press, socialites and celebrities, and a live jazz band filled the air with music while people mingled and took their seats. I was in a pit between Patrick Demarchelier, Tory Burch, and a gaggle of NYC’s finest social circle.  Tory tells me that she is thrilled about the collaboration and that the looks are absolutely beautiful.

I’m not sure if it was the intimate setting, the beautiful venue, or the fact that Alber Elbaz is fashion’s reigning king, but I hadn’t seen that much excitement at a fashion show in a long time.  The energy was intoxicating and the audience went crazy for the giant tulle skirts, bold colors, and exaggerated shoulders that have been transformed by Elbaz into H&M looks.  Andie McDowell stated “I think it’s genius. I’m a big fan of Lanvin. I can afford Lanvin and my daughter can afford H&M, and now my daughter’s going to have the opportunity to have a little bit more pizzazz.”  The show was absolutely breathtaking and people ran out immediately after to get into the private sale.  After beating my way through the crowd, I snagged seven pieces of the collection including 3 dresses, a fur vest, a t-shirt, a necklace and a bow tie.  All in all, a successful evening!

Five original Alber Elbaz autographed sketches went up for auction on www.lanvinforhm.com through November 26. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to UNICEF, as part of H&M’s “All for Children” project.

A passion for fashion brought together Antonio Patruno Randolfi, Luigi Arbore and Massimo Mazzilli. Together, they founded a new brand in Italy, Cor Sine Labe Doli literally “A heart with no betrayal blemish,” a name inspired by the coat of arms of their home town in Puglia, Corato. Check out these amazing ceramic bow ties.

Loving this look from Armani, normally don’t like mainstream designers (obviously) nor would I buy any of these pieces, but I do love the fitted tux jacket, shear top, and really over sized neck tie bow that adds omph to the black and white outfit.
