Look of the Day: Styling off the Runway
Posted July 30th, 2008

Deciding which dress to slip into for a summer party shouldn’t be what’s first on your mind. The summer’s the best time to relax and go with the flow as much as possible. When it comes to accessorizing your outfit, you can take this advice to heart even more. The right jewelery should flatter your outfit and enhance your look. If you take a beautiful draped dress like this one from Alberta Ferretti’s Resort 2009 Collection and pair it with the perfect jewelry, you’ll feel as stunning as you’ll look.

Presh Gold Chain Citrine Hoop Earrings have a beautiful eye-catching design that will easily make you the center of attention. We love the chain embellishment on the interior of each hoop, and the beautiful citrine gemstone only sweetens the appeal of these hoop earrings. If you’d like to add a splash of color, try one of Presh’s other hoop earrings, the Presh Gold Chain Aquamarine Hoop Earrings.

Alex and Ani Gold Euphrates Beaded Expandable Wire Bangles are perfect if you’re feeling like being flirtatious because these are the type of fun bracelets that will strengthen your confidence. The Kenneth Jay Lane Gold Flower Ring has the undeniable allure that will make your friends lust over your ring and admirers to drift closer. There’s nothing a girl loves more than feeling beautiful and this gorgeous 18k yellow gold ring does just that so well.

The Rebecca Norman Disk Necklace is extremely stylish, and the necklace’s design also manages to be unusual, something we love about our jewelry. The textured surface of the gold vermeil nekclace infuses an outfit with a bit of intrigue, something that will do wonders for a dress like this one by Alberta Ferreti. There are so many ways that you can incorporate a piece of personalized jewelry into your outfit, and layering it with a similar necklace will create a cool effect. Pair the Rebecca Norman necklace with this personalized Emily & Ashley XS Monogram Necklace. The 14k yellow gold monogram pendant is so elegant and beautiful you’ll find yourself reluctant to take it off at the end of the night.

We’ve recommended almost every type of ring to you, from the attention-grabbing cocktail ring to the trendiest rings of the moment to the gorgeous high end diamond and white gold rings we carry. It’s only natural you’d hesitate before going out the door. Is a daring eye-catching cocktail ring like the Anna Beck Layered Vermeil Cocktail Ring just right for your first date tonight, or is a trendy, exotic ring like the Presh Gold Elephant Ring a better choice because it’ll give your date a peek at your playful personality?

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!

Fun Under the Grecian Sun with Mamma Mia!
Posted July 22nd, 2008

mammamia.jpg

Mamma Mia! premiered this weekend in theaters bringing in a cool $21 million, and it’s been the most talked about musical-movie since last year’s Hairspray. The ABBA infused musical - each of the musical numbers is a recreation of 80’s pop dance group ABBA’s hit songs - takes place on a small Greek Island. Meryl Streep plays Donna, the mother of 20 year old bride-to-be Sophie, Amanda Seyfriend of Mean Girls.  Sophie’s always wanted to be escorted down the aisle by her father, and although she has never laid eyes on him, she wants that dream to come true. She reads her mother’s diary and invites three of the men she dated with the hope of discovering her true father. It’s a lighthearted cute musical about holding on to what counts the most and falling in love all over again.

Greece is alluring because of its perpetual summer. The fashion style that’s emerged in that region is enriched by the good food, sparkling blue water, and plentiful sunlight. In all of the Mamma Mia!  scenes the cast is sunkissed and glowing.  We’ll show you how you can infuse your life with a bit of the magic and transport Greece, love and happiness into your jewelry box.

Look as radiant as Sophie does by the sea in a sapphire outfit and delicate gold jewelry. The Arena Copenhagen Lonia Gold Heart Necklace has a sweetheart charm that’s perfect to pull an outfit together. Add the Arena CPH Lova Gold Heart Studs for a nice finishing touch, and you’ll be radiant. GK Designs Live Love Laugh Dream Charms necklace is a great alternative that will make your appearance even more appealing. The message of the necklace is embodied in the heart, peace, horseshoe, “dream,” and “Live Love Laugh” charms, and it’ll inspire you everyday.

Donna’s free-spirited personality is reflected in her jewelry. The chunky cocktail rings suggest she’s down to earth and playful. The Melinda Maria Hammered Ring and Rebecca Norman Turquoise Ring will look you. Meryl Streep’s character Donna glows in her chandelier earrings in the last screen shot. Either the Calico Juno Rio Chandelier Earrings or the Jami Rodriguez Tangled Hoop Chain Earrings will make you glow too!

Add international flair to your wardrobe this summer with Bollywood-inspired pieces. Introduce new jewelry to your outfits, such as big, colorful stone jewelry and clinking bangles. Color and design are two fundamental attributes of Indian jewelry. Feel the energy and excitement of Bollywood as you don several of these India-inspired pieces.

Bangles. Traditionally a staple of Indian jewelry, Bangles are generally worn in pairs and are preferable in high quality metals. The noise made by bangles clinking against each other has often been talked of in romantic songs and movies. Adorn your arms with a variety of these bangles and spend the night conducting your own symphony! Try Anna Beck Set of Gold Plated Bangles and Jennifer Zeuner Multicolored Gold Filled Bangles for a delightful touch.

Cuffs. Set in semi-precious stones and adorned with intricate designs, cuffs can be a perfect addition to any outfit. Wooden cuffs are especially natural looking and can be reminiscent of Bollywood films when set in bright colors. Slip the Isharya Turquoise Nizam Cuff and Isharya Nizam Wood Cuff on your wrists for a delicate look.

Outspoken necklaces. Big. Bold. Outspoken. Timidness will not be on your agenda with Bollywood-inspired necklaces. The bigger, the better. Try finding a piece with large stones or complicated designs. Gold is preferrable but silver will also do. Take a look at the Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Royal Necklace and the Lisa Stewart Leaf Pendant with Mother of Pearl and get ready to move to the energy of Indian song.

Large earrings. Ornate earrings are perfect for the Bollywood theme. Try decorated drop earrings, such as Wendy Mink Tabitha Earrings or Wendy Mink Peacock Earrings.

Oversized rings. No Bollywood ensemble is complete without large, attention-grabbing rings. Make your fingers sparkle as much as your smile. Slip the Pade Vavra Sapphire Stalactite Ring and the Melinda Maria Pavé Marquis Ring onto your fingers. The grace of your hands moving to the music will be more captivating then ever before once you are decked out in Bollywood-inpsired bangles and rings.
