ITINERARY 3 2 N OV E M B E R 2 01 4 A A .CO M/A M E R I C A NWAY Gorjana Reidel FOUNDER OF GORJANA A little more than 10 years ago, Gorjana Reidel was making jewelry on the floor of her apartment and giving it to her friends. Today, she counts Cindy Crawford, Jessica Alba and Nina Dobrev (as well as a bevy of high-profile fashion bloggers) as happy customers of her Laguna Beach, California -based jewelry line, GORJANA. The line comprises edgy-but- feminine pieces that feature delicate, eye-catching design accents and are perfect for the layering and stacking trend so popular right now. Before starting her business, Yugoslavian-born Reidel had a successful modeling career, as well as a brief stint at a California-based jewelry-design house, which gave her both the knowledge of the fashion world and the design foundation she needed to create the line . Ten years in, Reidel has not only found loyal customers and created a signature aesthetic in a crowded arena, but she's also set a precedent of giving back by working with various charities year after year. In honor of the brand's anniversary, Gorjana has re released 10 of its most popular pieces from the past decade, remade with real diamonds and ranging from $98 to $198 . Five of the designs are available exclusively at www.shopbop.com, while the other five can be found at www.gorjana.com. — EM I LY L . FO L E Y D E S I G N E R S P O T L I G H T Once you open a bottle of wine, your window for enjoying it closes quickly. Savino, an innovative wine-preservation system, extends that opportunity for up to a week. After popping the cork on your favorite vintage, transfer what you don't drink to the Savino, which closes with an air tight fl oating top that allows you to pour as it keeps unwanted oxygen out. Though it's large enough to store the entire contents of a bottle, Savino fi ts easily into your fridge, ensuring that the wine you loved on Monday tastes just as good on Friday night. $60, www.savinowine.com —J . S . GENIUS IDEA P L A Y Your Own Personal Coach I ' - , here's your solution: a regulation-size (and -weight, -spin and -bounce) basketball with a brain. Equipped with tiny sensors at its core that measure performance the human eye can't see, the 94FIFTY is made to track every dribble, pass and shot you make to help you fi ne-tune your game. Linked by Bluetooth to a free downloadable app, the ball gives you instant visual and audio feedback, putting you through drills and friendly competitions that adjust in di culty as you improve. It looks like a real ball and handles like a real ball, but it acts a lot like Phil Jackson. , www.fi fty.com —
