Goodbye, winter! I took this photo of jewelry designer Heidi Gardner on a 45 degree day last week. I believe this is the last cold weather photo I take until fall… or at least I hope so.

Heidi is a serious jewelry designer and her pieces were recently featured in the Kristen Stewart issue of W Magazine (one of my favorite Condé Nast publications, obviously) so it was quite the synchronicity to run into her randomly in Chicago. All of the jewelry on her hands and fingers is her own. She’s based in New York and traveled here on business. Between Heidi and Pamela Love, it’s funny how I’ve found the only two jewelry designers I’ll ever need to accessorize my looks again. Check out Heidi’s lookbook here… she brilliantly posed her macabre designs atop hunks of raw beef.

Now that’s a girl after my own heart.

PS: See how she’s wearing the simple Louboutins? I’m telling you, that’s the way to go!
