Lee Angel designer Roxanne Assoulin is known for her casual, fun take on vintage jewelry. The Lee Angel customer is a girl who rides her bike to cool-kid craft fairs and brings a picnic with her:effortlessly whimsical. That mood carries over to the sale itself.
Bubbly necklaces comprised of clusters of fabric-covered beads are $40 (marked down from $180). An adorable collar of primary colored fabric bows is $120 (no original price was given, which was true of many of the sale items – this is not a place for those who need to know just how good of a deal they’re getting).

The real draw here, though, is the massive $5 room, which is filled with cut-rate jewelry from mid-range mall stores. A Banana Republic striped bow brooch could pass for Juicy Couture, while a pair of BR delicate gold hoops adorned with small coral stones is a steal at $5 from $38. Mod striped super-thin J. Crew bangles are $5 from $24. One of the best $5 items, however, might be a Crewcuts children’s satin necklace, which comes adorned with a plastic charm of either a seahorse or an anchor. Add a small piece of elastic and you’ve got the perfect chic and cheeky headband. Chic and cheeky? Sounds like Lee Angel to us.

In the September 14 issue of Page Six Magazine, free inside the New York Post, steamy supermodel and tennis wife Page Six Magazine poses for her first ever shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge and pays homage to her home borough. In the article, Brooklyn talks sex appeal, her marriage, and those Jennifer Aniston rumors and the borough she and hubby, Andy Roddick, call home.

On being Brooklyn Decker:
“A producer recently gave me this weird compliment. He said, ‘You’re surprisingly unsexy. In film and pictures you turn it on and give the look, and then in person you’re a totally different human being.’ Which is good, because I don’t want to be Brooklyn Decker all the time.”

On living in Brooklyn:
“Coming home after a job and hearing honking, I just needed to get out of Manhattan.  And we have a dog, Billie Jean, and we wanted her to have space. I grew up in North Carolina, and we spend a lot of our time in Austin, Texas, so Brooklyn is a happy medium. You have Manhattan living, but you still get the neighborhood feel. I’m a total sucker. Now every time I land at JFK or LaGuardia I get so excited, whereas before I used to get stressed out. [Also] Barneys Co-Op is coming and I’m so excited.  It’s symbolic of how much Brooklyn has changed, even from like five years ago.”

On being married at 23 years old:
“It wasn’t weird for me.  My mom got married when she was 19, and my husband’s parents got married young—in their 20s. And both sets of parents are still together. We’re so lucky. We had that influence around us, and basically, it came down to the fact that neither of us had to get married. We both were successful on our own, we both had our own income, we both had our friends, but it’s just what we wanted. It was never part of my plan to get married young, but we did it because we really wanted to. We saw no other way.”

On Andy’s celebrities crushes:
“Andy definitely has crushes. He loves women in their forties and fifties. He loves Christie Brinkley and Diane Lane. A woman who’s graceful and has it all together. So not me.”
On the world of high fashion:
“When I started out, I wanted to be that tiny runway girl, but I’m not super skinny.  I have boobs. I’m very all-American. Quirky was definitely in, which I find quite beautiful, but that’s not what I am. In fashion, there needs to be something unique, and I wasn’t edgy. Plus, I’d walk in and be like, ‘Hey guys!’ with a big smile on my face. And they’d be like, ‘You are not cool. You are too nice.’ I got a lot of, ‘If you want to walk a runway, there is a standard that you have to fit. They’re not gonna change the standard for you.’ But funnily enough, the second I started accepting that this is who I am, I started working a ton.”
On the Jennifer Aniston rumors:
“I don’t know where that stuff comes from. Two people fighting is much more interesting than two people getting along. But I find it disappointing that people’s first instinct is to pit two women against each other. You get a few bad apples in there, but overall women do root for each other and want to help each other. Jen is such a doll—she is such a girl’s girl. Guys are terrified that if all the women band together we’ll take over the world, so they’re trying to keep us apart.”

A trendy handbag is an easy way to refresh your look for the new season. Orange handbags are the “it” bags for fall and are a great break from the typical neutral handbags. Look for orange handbags in simple shapes to balance out the bold color. (Editor’s Pick: Michael Kors Hamilton Satchel)

Lacy High Heels
Lace is a major trend for fall but instead of wearing a lacy top or skirt like everyone else will, go for a sexy pair of lacy high heels. You can pair your lacy heels with virtually anything and everything from your little black dress to your tweed suit. Look for a lacy heel or bootie with a kitten heel to keep the look demure and not gaudy. (Editor’s Pick: Manolo Blahnik Lacy Kitten Heels)

Leopard print strutted down the runway at what seemed to be every single show. Transform yourself into a Sicilian vixen by slipping into a fabulous leopard sheath. Make sure to keep your accessories simple and sleek as this dress is going to do all the talking. (Editor’s Pick:  David Meister Leopard Print Wrap Dress)

Bib Necklace
The bib necklace is hotter than ever and is a great way to spice up your outfit in a flash. Pair it with a white tee-shirt for play or a white collared shirt for work. Remember, when it comes to bib necklaces, bigger is always better. (Editor’s Pick: Ranjana Khan Crystal & Silk Bib)
