Speaking of being a shopaholic…I’ve been meaning to share my latest obsession with you: Fiona Paxton

First introduced to Fiona Paxton’s lovely necklaces by Angela Lowe of Funky Lala, I’ve absolutely fallen for all of the London-based designer’s pieces.

After training at the Royal College of Art with a distinction in textiles, Paxton worked on embroideries and prints for Michiko Koshino, Armani, Chloe, and Moschino, before beginning own namesake collection in 2008. Drew Barrymore and Hilary Duff are already fans.

Paxton’s jewelry pieces are all hand embroidered using the ancient techniques of Indian artisans that give them an almost snake-like quality. Each style features a beaded mosaic of glistening strands of silver and gold beads that drape beautifully on the body and work just as well with a tank and jeans as they do with more formal attire.

I am particularly of Fiona Paxton’s Sylie style (pictured to the right), which is currently available for $276 at Funkylala.com
