Kelly Wearstler Wants to Dress YOU. And Your Napkins.

She designs! She decorates! She holds plates!

You knew it was coming!!! Wearstler wears couture, hosts on TV, and is a celebrity herself - time for a fashion line! A recent New Yorker article quoted KW announcing plans for a jewerly line with tassels and upholstry stud inspiration - and eventually, clothes. Now, I'm not a big one for celebrity collections, but this isn't exactly like Jessica Simpson thinking her inability to sing also guarantees an inability to design well. Oh wait - that's true. Anyway, Wearstler knows textiles, color, and form. We're predicting this will be worth watching (for entertainment value alone, if her Top Design costumes are any indicator).

While we wait for her line of beehive hats and crazy big ball gowns, we can feast our eyes on her napkin rings, which are INSPIRED by her jewelry. And speculate. Hmmm...

Look! Cuffs! On napkins!

Big earrings? Boleros? Unsure. But it does look like jewelry.

Or wire...

And here's some ideas for what her jewelry COULD look like. Tassel necklace from J.Crew.

Some style'n decorative upholstery nailheads - great jewelry inspiration. I really like number 3. Kelly, are you listening?

Or here's an idea: make FURNITURE inspired by jewelry. How about a piano with diamond studs? Too Liberace?
Ummm... no.

Will you be wearing Kelly green?
