G L A M O R O U S

Fergie said it right...glamorous! The ladies of the small screen "rocked" the red carpet last night, not only in their stunning gowns and beautiful frocks, but the jewels just dazzled us! Conventional this year, I think so. Old world glamour struck a cord with the ladies of the night. Whether the gown was Grecian, single-shoulder, draping or classic, the ladies studded themselves up with a twist on classic...Nothing too over the top this year and I don't think it's because of the recession, the ladies of the evening (or their amazing stylists) got it right this year. A choice they made, show off those lovely ears, or that stunning collarbone. It's one or the other...and well, if you chose both, you went too far! A stunning over sized stud, or fabulous chandelier embellished with diamonds and colored stones OR a one of a kind necklace. That's right, one or the other. 19th century inspired jewelry, like Hayden Panettiere's fabulous Fred Leighton gold and diamond snake necklace, so different, yet subtle and paired perfectly with her off the charts classic red dress. Vintage jewelry coupled itself with the classic chic dress very nicely... We have to give kudos to Jennifer Morrison for rocking the classic and always fabulous Cartier gold, diamond and sapphire panther ring...such a staple for any woman's jewelry box! And last but not least, our top pic for the night was Ginnifer Goodwin! She was draped in a stunning fuscia gown, only to pair it with a stunning, elegant and dashing rock crystal necklace by Ivanka Trump, that framed her face with beauty! What a look! All together, a great night of understated jewels that left us refreshed and wanting to see more!

Summer Travels

As the Summer comes to an end, I look back and think about how the summer is my favorite time of year. The sun is shinning, people are out in the streets and everyone is on the move. Whether you are jumping in your car to head to the Hamptons or traveling miles overseas, the finishing touches when packing are your favorite jewels in order to glisten in the sun.

I recently came back from Japan and felt like a fish out of water with my chunky jewels and chandelier earrings. The Japanese are quite a unique and special culture and much more simple in their taste for jewelry, keeping it clean and simple. Diamonds are not a big trend, it is more about value and history, which means GOLD, GOLD, GOLD. Local artists and master craftspeople create beautiful and meaningful jewelry, mixing cutting-edge products of the highest quality where you learn about the processes the artisans use to create their goods and enjoy the interesting descriptions that explain the history behind these traditional Japanese arts. Meaningful symbols and signs are genuine examples of Japanese culture and fashion.

I would mark Japan as a MUST SEE country, the mountains are the most beautiful I have ever seen and you would never expect it. The people are so gracious and the food is unbelievable. You could shop for days is Tokyo as the city is huge and the stores are endless. It was an amazing trip but I have to say I am happy to be home!

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Yes, you heard correctly...it's midsummer, or past midsummer already...off to a rocky start, but the past few weekends have been beautiful, dreamy and absolutely perfect for a romantic evening outside. Whether your out east in the Hamptons, dining at over-the-top, luxury, star-studded restaurants, or you've been swept away by your loved one to a romantic, intimate destination, or even locked away in the city at a swanky downtown cozy little jewel, there's nothing more perfect than adding a little romance to complete your outfit. It doesn't matter if you're feeling trendy, conservative, punk, romantic, classic or flashy, a midsummer night's dream is all about how you want to accessorize yourself...not only in your dreams.

With a dabble of romance this week, we're keeping our eye on Van Cleef & Arpels. They did it right...feel enchanted by their diamond encrusted fairy and flower gems..how about a dazzling dual butterfly ring, that so delicately rests between two of your fingers, or their perfect snowflake and diamond Fleurette necklace, that perfectly rests on your neck..and listen to the sound of the dragonflies and butterflies...the charm and chime of the diamonds add that special and romantic effect...

You can never go wrong with a piece from Van Cleef...though it may be an investment, it will always remain timeless!

"Rock With You"

In the recent weeks we've all mourned the loss of Michael Jackson...His genius creativity and artistry has touched people all over the world...now, we want to pay homage to the king of pop. His music, his style, and of course, his trademark love of swarovski crystals has left an incredible impact on us. Whether his jacket or infamous glove was bejeweled with hundreds of thousands of crystals of all different colors and shapes, or the mere fact that he was supposed to wear 300,000 sparklers for his upcoming tour, or maybe it's just the glitter and glow of who he was just made him shine, either way, we know he will always be a rock star, and he'll always "Rock With You." 

Sport a Jackson glove this week, the number 5, or a music note charm... embellish it with crystals, dazzle yourself with lots of diamonds, rhinestones, anything that will sparkle to help keep MJ in your heart.

Market Week in NYC...oh the trends for winter have arrived!

We checked out the shows in New York this week and were thrilled to see designers willing to take a risk. Our favorite trend is the layered chunky stone necklace mixed with chains. It is all about the statement necklace this winter and one is better than the next. Whether long or short, these necklaces are a true statement piece that you do not need to wear anything else with it except for your watch.

Geema Redux, Erickson Beamon and Gerard Yosca were our top 3 picks from the show! We loved them all and wished we could have taken them home with us. We are obsessed with having that one item to make your outfit, it is so easy.... No need to fuss with a million accessories to complete an outfit, all you need it that ONE and you are good to go out on the town. If you are interested in seeing some pictures let us know and we will share the scoop so you can plan for your next great items for the season :)
