“Geez”, muttered a friend Wednesday night. We’re standing in a jam packed club - not even a famous one - heaving with human traffic and queueing for £14 drinks. “What recession?”

Indeed what recession — it’s certainly not in London. After a manic LFW, one would expect everything to calm down for a moment, for the money and champagne to stop flowing. Instead, we’ve experienced a pent up demand to party - and wear the clothes \ we so innocently bought during fashion month.

The action’s hot and heavy: this week alone saw the bash celebrating the Juicy Couture store opening (which shares a block with Matthew Williamson & Stella’s store), the Tatler 300th anniversary party and the Vogue/Bulgari party. Last night, Alasdhair Willis (Stella’s husband), threw an intimate do at his Duke Street gallery, while Cindy Crawford launched her Omega collection at the Almada club (where Anna Wintour made her LFW date with Chris Kane). The latter drew the most stars yet including Lily Allen, Rosie Huntingdon Whiteley and Jasmine Guinness whilst Rhys Ifan flirted outrageously with model du jour, Tolula Adeyemi.

It’s no secret the diamond industry has seen much more decadent times, but we’re sure Bulgari’s news of having to close “a number of unprofitable stores” since their earnings “fell more than 45% in the last year” comes as a shock to the many red carpet starlets that reguarly borrow their jewels for free.

So here’s something surprising:

Every once in a while, the U.S. Treasury auctions off diamonds - we’re assuming they’re of the “seized” variety - and there’s a big preview of a huge stash at the New Yorker hotel next Wednesday and Thursday, for those who don’t mind a little competitive shopping (ok, and maybe some creepy feelings, too) in exchange for non-retail prices.

Not that this has anything to do with those Bulgari customers, though this could probably make for a decent episode of The Real Housewives of New York.

There’s a store on our street called Linda Derector.

Their window’s always full of super awesome sunglasses, both new and vintage, that make us wish we had a few hundred dollars to spend on something we know we’ll lose within two years.

It’s this thing we have with eyewear, whether it’s a $4 pair of Forever 21s or a $300 pair of Stella McCartneys - they never last more than two years.

But we finally went into the store today, and lo and behold, they’re having a 40% off sale which means $195 vintage Raybans are $117 and $200 vintage Bulgaris are $120. Which means we might be able to justify a purchase.

Which means you should swing by, too.

(It’s on Mott between Prince and Spring.)

Fashion week was, among other things, a blur of stacked Cartier Love bracelets, stacked wooden heels, and stacked Bulgari rings.

In all the above cases, more is better, and if you can afford to pile on two out of the above three, then you can stop reading.

We found these perfectly stack-able rings by Canadian designer Kate Szabone. The best part? You get five of them to go stack crazy, for $50.

You can custom pick your own set, from gold, silver and oxidized silver. And while the edges might not be engraved with “BVLGARI,” they’re actually a much cooler shape and not quite as flashy.

They’re perfect twenty-four hour jewelry.

Just in case your watch doesn’t go with that outfit.
