Destination: Resorts
Posted July 23rd, 2008

We love the fall and spring lines designers produce effortlessly twice a year, but we have our reasons for falling head over heels for the resort collections too. The Resort 2009 collections are spectacular this year. It’s versatile and chic, and the abundance of lightweight fabrics are perfect for the warm weather. It’s not a stretch imagining going to a Hamptons Barbeque, a Jersey Shore bonfire, a Miami club, the casino in Vegas, a shopping trip in Quebec, or the office in any one of these beautiful Resort 2009 designs. Designers infused the runway with colorful classic and edgy designs. 3.1 Phillip Lim and Missoni took the classic shift dress and added a punch of color and a gorgeous structured pattern that added intrigue to the outfits. Marchesa’s ethereal quality on the runway was embodied in the light blue swirl maxidress pictured. The abundance of color on the runway for these shows prove our favorite designers had fun taking different color palettes, putting together unexpected color combinations on paper, and seeing their dream designs through to the end.

A splash of color in your jewelry is perfect during the summer, and taking some risks where that is concerned is always a good thing to do. The Marcia Moran Blue Quartz Ring is a sensational eye-catching cocktail ring. Whether you wear it to impress during the day or at night, the rich sapphire color of the blue quartz will look alluring along with the rest of your ensemble.
Anna Beck Set of 4 Stackable Rings is trendy and versatile; whether you’re looking for a cool silver or warm gold accent, you have the option of wearing either of the Anna Beck rings, and if you’re feeling inclined to, wear both for a beautiful contrasting effect. The Presh Gold Chain Citrine Hoop Earrings are as edgy as the new Resort designs. The classic hoop earring is reinvented with three chains spanning its interior and a citrine gemstone suspended directly into the center of the hoop. You’ll really shake things up with the gorgeous Jami Rodriguez Tangled Three Hoops Earrings. We love how the delicate hoop shape is repeated twice. The effect is a twist on both the hoop earring and the drop earring styles that’s stunning.
We love the texture of the Tracy Matthews Small Hammered Cuff. It looks great with spaghetti strap or strapless dresses, like the Ralph Lauren model’s dress. Try the Leila Floral Bangles for a fun patterned touch tonight. You can choose between the four styles and match it to your outfit of choice. The Brian Danielle Multi Stone Necklace is fantastic! The shiny luster of the pearls, and citrine, amethyst, and topaz gemstones is undeniably mouth-watering. The necklace captures the light and beautiful spirit of the Resort 2009 designs in a wonderful way.
Turn heads in all of the jewelry we’ve suggested. These phenomenal jewelry designs are perfect for this summer when your true destination is: relaxation. Go there and indulge in these Marcia Moran, Anna Beck, Presh, Jami Rodriguez, Leila, Tracy Matthews, and Brian Danielle designs. We promise you’ll have a vacation to remember!

At the end of the night, one necklace will be truly unforgettable: Lata K Illusion Eclipse Japanese Pearl Necklace. There are not enough words to convey the graceful and breathtaking nature of this necklace. Hanging daintily from your neck, you will be the stand out attendee of whichever formal occasion you may attend.
Earrings can often make or break an outfit. Putting on a dazzling pair of earrings always makes you feel beautiful. Light up your formal night with Arena CPH Barbie Silver Earrings. These are delicate and sophisticated - a wonderful addition to a gorgeous dress. Have you been looking for the perfect pair of elongated earrings? Try Calico Juno Siren Loop Earrings.

In these cases, Brian Danielle Diamond Drop Earrings are the perfect earrings. Worn with a sleek cocktail dress, these earrings will make you appear to have walked straight off the red carpet.
No elegant evening apparel is complete without a sparkling bracelet hanging gracefully from your wrist. The Jessica Elliot Silver Wrought Iron Cuff is stunning. With an intricate design, it will have people looking at your wrist over and over again.

When it’s Classic, it’ll Last Forever
Posted July 16th, 2008

It only takes seconds after Audrey Hepburn crosses the busy New York street in Breakfast at Tiffany for us to take in her timeless style and realize something magical is about to happen. The little black dress, noir sunglasses, pearls, and low heeled pumps quickly became a fashion formula for women all around the world. Trends may come and go and fads will always fade in and out as quickly as the seasons change, but looks that are both elegant and classic will withstand the test of time. Though Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor made their indelible marks on Hollywood over thirty years ago, their classic looks have remained something to aspire to.
It’s essential to find gorgeous knockout pieces that are understated and demure (at first glance!) to perfect this class act. Since diamonds will always be a girl’s best friend all the way to the end, add Brian Danielle’s 14k white gold Diamond Blossom Necklace, the Zasha White Gold Hatched Ring, and the Tracy Matthews’ Delicate Single Textured Ribbon Bracelet for a look that’s reminiscent of these iconic women.
You’ll look classically elegant in a pair of tiny stud earrings. Try Brian Danielle’s White Gold Multi Diamond Studs for a splurge and Tracy Matthews’ Sterling Silver Nugget Studs if you’re looking to save. The sterling silver Jessica Elliot Antique Rosary with Clover and Pearls and the Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Serpent and Pyramid Stone Ring are great alternatives!
Just because you’re following in these fashion icons’ footsteps doesn’t mean you have to avoid color or gold jewelry. Add a splash of color with the Marcia Moran Blue Quartz Ring and Tracy Matthews’ Smooth Medium Cuff to make your night even more special. Try our recommendations, and look to designers like Brian Danielle, Kacey K, Kenneth Jay Lane, Tracy Matthews, Jessica Elliot, and Zasha for jewelry that twinkles with the vintage Hollywood classic style you crave.
