JLo creating her own scent, Victoria Beckham designing jeans or P. Diddy launching a clothing line are certainly not new news to anyone.  Especially not to me, since I am both a slave to fashion and addicted to celebrity gossip.  However, I have yet to purchase any item which is celebrity created.  My reasoning was mostly that of general snobbery, where I strongly opposed celebrities designing fashion, accessories or scents and expecting people to buy them based purely on their fame.  Something about the whole thing smelt of entitlement to me, and I’ve pretty much boycotted all along. 

My boycotting ended a few days ago when I noticed the line of jewellery designed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum, Michelle Trachtenberg, was being released for Spring, in partnership with Coach.  I have to admit the collection is beautiful. It has a very Betsy Johnson-esque flare. Lots of great pieces – necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, all hand set in Swarovski crystals.
