Anyone remember the season 2 episode of “Project Runway” when Santino sang “Daniel Franco, where’d ya go?” Well, we kind of feel like singing that little ditty about Rachel Bilson. Much like her other “The O.C.” costars, Rachel has dipped below the media-radar, with the exception of a role in the movie “Jumper” back in February of this year.
However, last week she turned up at the opening of the new Dolce & Gabbana store on Robertson Blvd. in LA. Everyone’s been raving about her oversized sequined tuxedo jacket and jeans combo, but what caught our eye was the little “H” necklace hanging around her neck. “H?” you may be asking yourself. We were scratching our heads, too. Neither Rachel nor Bilson starts with the letter H. Then it dawned on us: H is for Hayden, as in Christiansen. The two have been dating ever since “Jumper,” which they starred in together.
We like the whole idea of it. She kept her jewelry minimal because her ensemble already had so much going on. Not only that, but also the little nod to her beau was just too cute for words. You can steal her look with pieces right here at Max & Chloe. Ariel Gordon Initial Pendant Necklaces are simple letter designs that feature one initial hanging from a 16 inch bead chain. We like that the shape of the letters look like they were hand-written. They also are available in 14k yellow gold or sterling silver, and with or without a diamond accent. It is pictured with the letter M above.
Another necklace similar to Rachel’s which we liked is the Emma Jane & Tan Initial Necklace. These initials are a bit smaller in size than the Ariel Gordon pieces and have more of a bubbly shape, but are no less beautiful. All of these letters are 14k yellow gold with a diamond accent. For something a little, shall we say, “bling-ier,” you can opt for the Zoe Chicco Personalized Pave Diamond Letter Necklace. The charms on this necklace feature diamond accents that appear to cover it, and the chain is adjustable between 15-17 inches.
So go ahead! Showcase your love for your boyfriend, your dog, or yourself by wearing their initial around your neck.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona star Penélope Cruz is one of our favorite celeb stars to watch because she has a terrific classic instinct for the right proportions. We noticed Penélope skipped jewelry accessories when she wore this great little black dress and neutral pumps. We admit her generous smile might be the greatest accessory of all, we can’t help but wonder how fabulous she’d look in a few choice jewels.
Since the little black dress has become a wardrobe staple, it’s important to anticipate that other women might be wearing one too, and you’ll want to make sure you stand apart and shine. The trick to jazzing up the little black dress with your jewelry is to play with proportions and choose exotic pieces. Your jewelry should cause as many breathless questions from your friends of “Where did you get that?!” as everything else you’re wearing.
To start, a slender pair of drop earrings would be a great addition to Penélope’s outfit. We love the delicate Deborah Grivas Designs Green Turquoise Gold Arch Loop Earrings. The green turquoise gemstones are so beautiful, and the looped designs under the stones mirrors the other elegant elongated proportions of her outfit.
Personalized monograms are perfect for the red carpet and formal occasions and the tasteful monogram pendants like Ariel Gordon’s would be simply sublime. We’d pick the gorgeous 16″ Ariel Gordon P Initial Pendant Necklace and we wouldn’t hesitate to add the diamond accent to either the sterling silver or 14k gold for Penélope.
The Samantha House Jaqueline Necklace is daring and chic, and we love the bundle of pearls that swing from the semi-precious stone. Black gemstones can give a little black dress the right amount of fanfare, and this pear shaped Arena CPH Mailil Onyx Necklace is perfect! Though each of these necklaces would look powerful and stunning alone, combining them would make Penélope’s entrance unforgettable.
We’ve been falling head over heels for Pade Vavra’s exotic cocktail rings since day one, and honestly, we can only name a handful of other designers that could do the alluring Ms. Penélope Cruz justice. The Pade Vavra Peridot Cushion Ring would look sensational with the Deborah Grivas earrings; This gorgeous cushion ring is plush and sexy with its dazzling peridot gemstones, and if you’re an August birthday girl, there’s no better time to splurge on your luxe birthstone.
The static shape of the Pade Vavra Sapphire Stalatite Ring redefines both vintage and one-of-a-kind; it’s the kind of piece that will take any look from “beautiful” to “knockout gorgeous.” We wouldn’t call an outfit complete without a bracelet, and an unusual seductive and chic cuff bracelet like the Melinda Maria Pod Cuff is just what the stylist ordered.
