I love the simplicity of summer! There is something to be said for wearing a super cute dress or a tunic over a pair of leggings. It's such a great look while also allowing you to stay cool as the temperatures begin to rise! Don't forget that even a simple and effortless outfit still needs a kick to ensure that you look amazing. Try various pieces from Emily Elizabeth Jewelry. I love the Grecian look that she creates with her pieces from fab lariats to chokers as well. In addition to the necklaces, you'll find that there are bracelets and earrings as well. These little elements will ensure that you'll stand out regardless of where the day or night takes you! My favorite piece, the Geometric Lariat! I think it is truly versatile and I feel that this style allows you to style yourself the way you know how!
I am starting to embrace a type of accessory that has been very foreign in my closet! Although I liked looking at pearls, I never thought it would be something that I would wear. This all changed when Moon River Pearls reached out to me! Who knew that pearls could transcend so many styles and provide so many looks? I love layering my pieces with chokers or other bangles. The pearls that are shown below are full of color and go from Little Black Dress to an extremely casual outfit with jeans and there is absolutely no granny factor here! Visit the site and although there are the traditional pearls, I love that they have great looks that are outside of the box - you'll never look at pearls the same way again!
I have never been one to envy for someone else's items but I will not lie when I say that I love when people look at something that I'm wearing and they wish that they could have worn my find! As you know, I'm accessories obsessed and when I see designers that are on the mark, I have to share! Kristen of Objets d'Envy makes fabulous Swarovski Crystal jewelry that are amazing to wear whether you're heading to work (you could work in an extremely corporate environment or one that is laid back), hanging out with friends or going out. The pieces lend themselves to being the focal point of your outfit and if you see a certain style that you like, you can get it in various colors so that you have quite the decision to make when you're about to step out. These pieces are meant to break the barrier of the common question "When/where would I wear this" - anywhere or everywhere.
I love the red Boucle necklace as it is a delicate design that has great depth due to the use of Swarovski Crystals. It reminds me of something that you could see Audrey Hepburn wearing if she was out and about today - which means it would be perfect as she was queen of taking great basics and making them eternally classic. In addition, I love the Galaxie. I am a huge fan of having one large rock or crystal. This is perfect for a tunic, cute wide belt, skinny jeans and slouchy boots! Simple and at the same time you can wear a sweater dress and look amazing as well. Not only can your neck look amazing but with these rock candy rings, looking good has never been so simple and don't be surprised if even a quick walk to your coffee shop turns into someone's moment of Envy!
Every now and then I like to share what I am working on. Besides putting together content for my blogs and doing PR, I also like to share about info regarding my jewelry line, Kitten Couture. I have to say that wearing it during Fashion Week, I was actually able to get a few orders from people that I just completed. It's nice to know that these lariats made of natural stone and seashell pieces are creating excitement. This summer, I included one of my pieces - Aeryn within the goodie bag of Renee Zellweger's new movie 'My One and Only" out next spring. To know that such notables as Ms Z, Chris Noth, Kevin Bacon and more received these pieces is great! This season I created additional pieces to round out the fall collection and have a few more that will be out this season. In fact, I am currently putting together a fall/resort photoshoot and can't wait to share this with all of you (of course this means new pieces as well). Take some time to check out some fab pieces from Kitten Lounge!
This Hardware Bracelet is yet another interesting piece from our friends at Twisted Silver! I love that they know a thing or two about keeping it trendy, fun and affordable as well!

Starting on July 29th - Aug 5th, you can get this bracelet and the matching Hardware Necklace at 50% off! Simply use the code HARDWARE to start changing up your jewelry closet!

Terrence Howard, Naomi Campbell and various members from the cast of High School Musical and Heros have something in common! They are all members of the Singelringen community. Many of us are familiar with those that have recently become engaged or married. It's easy to tell as we can look at the rings to see what phase of their life that they have shifted to but what about those that are single? Singelringen was created as an answer to what is going on with those that have yet to be married.
This ring has blue acrylic that wraps around the sterling silver ring and exposes a small portion of it in a crescent shape. This crescent shape can be worn to face others stating that the person wearing it is open to love while others choose to wear it inward to show that they are not open to this whether they may not be interested or involved with someone. As I am involved with someone, I wear my crescent closer to my heart signifying that I am already in a relationship. Singelringen are unisex and many wear them on the right hand but you can choose or you can place it on a chain! In addition, there is a unique number within your ring that allows you to log on to the website and to register to link up with others in this community. Being single by those that join this site, is seen as a period in life that this concept is embraced. Although we may not be prepared or be ready for that next step, we can enjoy the benefits of looking, searching or being with someone that means a great deal to us. In addition to being a great concept, I enjoy wearing this ring because I think it looks cute and I love how light and simple it looks.
I love many of the images from Christian Dior's Cruise 2009 Collection. There are so many vibrant colors that pop, I love the infusion of the essence of the Southern Belle mixed with the island babe. My favorite outfit from the entire show is this dress. I love that it's fashionable confection! Obviously the colors are very complimentary to one another and I love the length. This is the perfect item to wear when you go to a friends cocktail party on their rooftop or in the Hamptons! At the same time, this reminds me of a dress that would have been a favorite for me to put on my Barbie! The sleek look with the ruffle is perfect and I love the necklace that was paired with this piece. This is definitely the effortless and comfortable look that you would want to wear when being out and about. It's not a bad idea to think about wearing a cute hat with this as well. Take some time to visit Coutorture to see all of the images available from this show and many other Cruise oriented runway shows as well! If you're cruised out, you're bound to find other great items as well!
Ah we're now into the second day of April and just think, we can say "Next month it's May". So it is totally appropriate to get into the summery state of mind by introducing this month's theme: LAGOON. Everything that will be posted will have hues of blue and green which is not only tranquil but is a great way to build these elements into your wardrobe. Siman Tu, created this beautiful Lapis Necklace. I love the large stones and the fact that it will look great when wearing with all white, with jeans and so much more! Of course, this piece was found on one of my favorite sites - Vivre.com so you'll find this and much more on the site!

I love that we are getting to the point where we don't have to worry about winter temperatures anymore. We can embrace spring and soon summer. Kara, is apart of my jewelry line Kitten Couture which brings resort inspired pieces that are perfect for the cabana, a night out or simply running errands. I love that this piece reminds me of citrus oriented fruits like Blood Orange, Nectarines, Tangerines and Grapefruit as well. It's pieces like this that allow you to add pops of color into your outfit when it's still chilly and of course assists the summer rays when you're about to head out to a cocktail party. Of course, I have always been a fan of Carnelian and have created various pieces that use this amazing stone. If you love these items, you'll enjoy additional lariates that are on this site as well. Take a peek at Kitten Couture.
While at Project in Vegas, I learned about an amazing design house, Sogoli. What caught my eye was the fact that although you see all of these pieces, it is the same chain. I love that you can wear it as a long necklace, a sash of sorts and you can wrap it around your neck as a choker too. This is such a great way to wear pieces like this and you are not limited to wearing it like this. I also love the pop of color of this item and that it works so well within THINK CITRUS which is perfect. Visit Sogoli to see which pieces you'll wear with your tunic, tank dress and so much more. Visit the sister blog See Pretty Things to see another color which is also perfect for this season as well.
I love the Tudors (yes I am talking about the amazing show that will be back on Showtime this month). One of my fascinations with the show (beyond the main character) is the jewelry. The pieces are amazing and although they look perfect with the elaborate costumes on the set, I am convinced that they would be equally as amazing with many of my daily outfits. That being said, I love this piece by Jill Alberts. She has an amazing collection of jewelry that I have recently become introduced to and of course, I couldn't be stingy - I had to share. This Small Medallion Diamond Necklace come in silver and in gold (so you know that I am a fan of the silver one; however, I would totally gift the other one as well). I love the simplicity of this piece while also having the ability to layer this. This would look cute with tanks, sweaters, tunics and so much more! Visit Jill Alberts' website so that you can find your signature piece!
When it comes to the holidays and beyond, we all think about stepping it up a bit. I designed the "Ariana" Lariat (which can be tied around your neck as shown) which is Mother of Pearl, Wooden Beads, and Mother of Pearl with a berry color that's perfect for the holiday season. Available as apart of my jewelry line at Kitten Couture, this is a great gift for yourself or for someone else. Take a peek around the site to see what else is available and of course, there is always something being added as the creative mood strikes. Continue checking back for holiday exclusives which are always nice when you're running around looking for that perfect gift with limited time!
I love when you're wearing something great and you feel it. At the same time, I love when you wear something and you know that it benefits so many and lets you take a stand for those that need guidance and understanding. Karin Collins makes a fab series of jewelry that's all about having a lot of individuality within a spoon. There's no wonder that her designs are known as Spoon Fed Art. You can learn about this jewelry in detail by visiting a recent posting that is on sister blog, See Pretty Things. The most important element is the fact that Karin Collins supports NEDA, the National Eating Disorder Association. She has submitted her pieces to be included within an auction that the proceeds of the funds go to assisting those that are battling this disorder and creating awareness of this as well.
