Le Vian 14k Gold Blue Topaz (10-3/10 ct. t.w.), Sapphire (1/2 ct. t.w.) and Diamond (3/10 ct. t.w.) Big Stone Pendant Necklace $4100 - Macy's

Carlos Falchi blue swirl snake leather flat convertible clutch $357 - Bluefly

I love goodies that come in the mail or those that come to my email. Kitten Lounge is always excited to partner with exciting brands, showrooms, PR firms and more! Look LA is definitely an interesting company that keeps their clients extremely visible! Amanda Righetti hit a recent event in this silver stunner by Dina Bar-El! Being a fan of silver, I knew this was the perfect dress to feature for today's post and although she looks fabulous, I have to say that I would have went another way in the accessories department! I love the effect of blue with silver maybe because I associate the two colors with water and flow. To that end, I would have popped a little sapphire in it and I think no evening out can be complete without a little python! This would have been a great way to add a little more texture and just to have a little something as the dress really speaks for itself! As always, the links are in the spread so click away!

Treasure Tuesdays: All Things Glisten

KittenCouture — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:00:00 -0700

Python Maltese Cross Cuff $345.00 ~ Ted Rossi

Curations 'Aztec' Necklace $78.00 ~ HSN.com

Charm Bracelet $274.00 ~ Objets d'Envy

Swarovski Handbags Price Upon Request ~ Imi

Platinum Chain Necklace $325.00 ~ Pade Vavra

I'm not really into Glitter but I am a fan of things that sparkle and glisten especially on a night out or when I know I'm hitting a red carpet function! I'm the type of person who enjoys wearing many of my night time pieces during the day. As always the links within the spread are active! I love Ted Rossi's Python Maltese Cross Cuff - these are perfect to wear with cute dresses, evening gowns and even jeans! I have quite a few clutches and cuffs from Ted Rossi; however, he has a Python White Cuff with an Onyx that I wear all the time and it always starts a conversation. In addition, I am a huge fan of Objets d'Envy (who doesn't love Swarovski Crystal jewelry) who has gorgeous pieces that add glam to the evening and to the everyday! Meeting Kirstin, the designer while I was in Chicago was a great experience! Pade Vavra has always been a favorite and this handmade Platinum Chain Necklace is great with a simple dress and perfect with a tank and pair of jeans! Every piece has an element of goddess to it! I love my branch silver necklace and also my olive branch like cuff in gold! Either piece adds a bit of nature and muse like aspects to my outfit! For those wanting to make an impact, try the Curations line with Stefani Greenfield as she will be on HSN July 29th at 8pm and July 30th starting at 1pm! I love that these pieces are conversation starters and they definitely up the overall style that you're going for. My favorite pieces are the two Swarovski clutches by Imi! These pieces combine art and style together for an amazing look! In fact these are pieces that you can not only cradle in your hand but you'll love sitting it on your table while you're in between getting a cocktail or enjoying your courses. Whether you love a minimal approach or you prefer an intricate design, Imi is a great way to secure an amazing look!

Treasure Tuesdays: Perry Gargano Accessorizes

KittenCouture — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 05:00:00 -0700

Right before I left for Chicago, I had the pleasure of being introduced to an accessories designer that was completely new to me! Perry Gargano is definitely a designer who embraces nature and just the natural order of life in general! His pieces are made in silver and in gold (so you'll definitely enjoy adding both metals into your jewelry wardrobe). I love that since his passion is being a sculptor, his pieces have that living art element to them! From belts, cuffs and rings - he will ensure that you're adorned. I love these pieces as I love to have a simple look, a great pair of jeans and a tank. But since my clothing tends to be "simple", I love for my pieces to really reflect my style when it comes to the accessories.

Consider this to be your first introduction to this designer as Kitten Lounge, will continue to keep you updated on this designer! In addition, if you love the pieces included here, you will enjoy seeing more of his pieces on Perry Gargano's site!

Treasure Tuesdays: Keep It Indie

KittenCouture — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 05:00:00 -0700

Many of my most treasured pieces were not mass market items but those that were one of a kind or made from a limited production. If you have held a conversation with me, read my blogs or had me email you about your products, you know how much I believe in supporting indies as I feel that they aren't making something that they believe will be on trend but what they are passionate about! I want to be able to wear these passion filled pieces that are from Designing Diva! I love the fact that you can still see hammered look that is reflected in the pieces. I love the pops of color and the time taken to think about comfort in terms of her sterling silver rings that can be adjusted for maximum fit! Enjoy these pieces and then visiting Designing Diva in order to see other fab items for yourself and to gift to others!

Fashionable Fridays: K. Amato is Always an Option

KittenCouture — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:23:27 -0700

I don't like to play favorites in some things but when it comes to my accessories, all bets are off. I have my go to pieces that I wear without even thinking about it and although I try a number of items - it's not an instant access into my tried and true collection. This is a hard decision and one that can't be taken lightly. You want pieces that scream you without suggesting that you were trying to hard when putting everything together. So when deciding upon new jewelry, I like to go with that which has a lot of style and I have to say that K. Amato is one of those designers.

No matter what piece you're looking at you get the notion that the pieces are classic while also being on trend. This isn't exactly an easy balance to strike but you will find it here! One of my favorites is The Chicago. Those of you who know me and have been out with me know that I am a sterling silver girl at heart. But there is something about this Oval Filagree piece that brings out your inner regal sensabilities and makes you want to pair it with cowl neck boucle sweaters, tunics paired over leggings and so much more as we go into the fall. At the same time, it's also perfect for the summer or any vacation spot. Ah The Chicago with all its Jazz, it just might be one of the tried and true that you've been looking for. Take some time to check out more pieces to fill up your jewelry case!

Wearable Wednesday: Single Life Can Be Celebrated Too

KittenCouture — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:00:00 -0700

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.

Fashionable Fridays: LAGOON ~ Michael Kors

KittenCouture — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:40:42 -0700

So the concept of LAGOON is a favorite of mine because it incorporates obviously blues and greens but also being able to enjoy the sun and all that comes with that. I love this outfit that came from the runways of Michael Kors (which you know I am a huge fan of his sense of great classic American style) and is apart of a collection of images from Coutorture. I love the bold color and the concept of the sun kissed island babe. You know with Michael he incorporate this goddess tone into everything that he presents! Even this silver girl gets sucked into his love for gold and bronze!

Trendy Thursdays: THINK CITRUS ~ Take A Journey to the Runways of India

KittenCouture — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:00:00 -0700

I love the fact that at any given time there are Fashion Week shows taking place around the globe. This is a great way to see the creativity of so many designers. In terms of staying with the theme of this month, I wanted to choose some amazing designs that have elements of THINK CITRUS. Thanks to the hard working people of Coutorture, I have included some of the posts and of course you can see a lot more from India Fashion Week and of course other designers that are currently showing in other Fashion Week Shows.

I love this outfit because of the super cute cami and skirt with this beautiful wrap across the top. This definitely makes me think of wearing this at a cocktail event on a beach or someones loft that has a beautiful deck. The embellishment is absolutely gorgeous and I enjoy the trims as well. I think that she definitely looks like a princess.

I have to say that this outfit is my absolute favorite! I love the pops of yellow and that it ties on the side. Once again I think there is something very regal about this and I love the black, white, silver and orange hues. You can never go wrong with a super cute clutch as well. This is definitely something that would be cute to wear at South Beach during some amazing event.

I like the blend of the sheer tones of orange and black. If I were wearing this, I would so wear this with Carnelian or an Agate stone that picks up these gorgeous tones. I love the beaded portions on the top of this dress and definitely feel that this is the perfect dress to wear to a gala and to set you apart from the typical "black gown" that people gravitate towards. Once again visit Coutorture to find more images from these shows.

Treasure Tuesdays: Tudor Love

KittenCouture — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 05:00:00 -0800

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!

Treasure Tuesdays: Can You Spare a Sole?

KittenCouture — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 05:00:00 -0800

Don't laugh, you may need to ask and get this one day! Spare Soles has all of us in mind in terms of tired feet that need pampering, tootsies that unexpectedly needed to glam up and you didn't bring the right shoes or you simply felt that you wanted to put your best foot forward! I had the opportunity to wear the cutest shoes this week/end from Spare Soles. First off, I carry so much in my bag that it's important to me that whatever I need to have is as slim as possible. Secondly, it needs to be something that looks stylish. The other day I slipped out this super cute pouch from my back and felt like Dorothy except I was in silver shoes. I love that these ballerina shoes fold easily and have super cute bows that make these shoes more than just a back up. In fact, I love that they definitely get noticed and look so cute when you pair them with baby doll dresses and jeans. You never have to hide your feet again due to an unexpected outing that suddenly needs your attention. When you're not using this, simply slip it back in its wristlet and place it back in your bag. Although I must say, the other night, I did use it as a wristlet and place my Metro Card and a few dollars within this bag. I have to say that these are essentials and I love my black and silver pair. This is a must - visit Spare Soles to get some for your very own!
