First Look! Spring ’12 Jewelry From Chi-Town Designer Laura Lombardi

Laura Lombardi's spring '12 lookbook is like something out of a dream–literally. The designer was inspired by "Dreamtime," an idea from Australian Aboriginal mythology that suggests events from our dreams have effects on the real world. We're in. As always, Lombardi blends femininity and strength in her powerful pieces, and each one distinctly personifies her style. We could spot a Laura Lombardi piece at 50 paces, but we'd prefer to just look down at our necks (and wrists, and fingers). Click through to see why we can't get enough, and if you can't wait for the new spring collection to go on sale, you can shop past collections online.
