We never thought we’d be taking style cues from Ke$ha. But the girl cleans up nice! She attended the 26th Annual Genesis Awards dressed in a eye-catching yet tame (for her) Miu Miu Lightning bolt printed jumpsuit. She paired it with an orange Salvatore Ferragamo belt with a double gancio buckle, a one-of-a-kind, large pave feather hand ring with partial black rhodium and multicolored diamonds by Loree Rodkin, and an orange, yellow, beige and cream-colored suede chevron clutch by Salvatore Ferragamo. Oh, and a half shaved head too. Nice to see some of the old Ke$ha remains. Get her haute...  Read More..

At age 18, most teenagers are just beginning to think about what they want to do when they ‘grow up’. Not Tianna Jenkins. This 18-year-old from Louisiana, by way of Texas, has already chosen her intended profession: jewelry designer. After forming a line with three business partners several years ago, she recently moved back to New Orleans and decided to strike out on her own. Incorporating her obsession with accessories, and inspired by retro art and style, she recently launched her line, LA Vintage Tribe. She began by reworking her own accessories – breaking them down and redesigning...  Read More..

Ramona Singer 5.85ct Emerald-Color Quartz and White Topaz Sterling Silver Ring I am a huge fan of Ramona Singer jewelry for HSN. With each new collection I find pieces that I love, that work well together, and are made with exquisite details. I was happy to speak to Ramona this week and get the scoop on her latest jewelry collection for HSN, as well as some dish on Season 5 of The Real Housewives of New York, which just wrapped filming. Ramona Singer Multigemstone and Diamond Sterling Silver Earrings For Ramona’s third anniversary with HSN, she brings a collection on which she worked extra...  Read More..

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I’m coming across tons of products to give and get. The fine folks at Citizen sent over this beautiful Ladies’ Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Bangle watch and if I didn’t already have one (thanks, Citizen), I’d definitely ask for it as a Valentine’s Day gift. I love that it’s delicate and pretty and very lightweight. With all the arm candy I like to pile on my left arm, it’s nice to have a small, chic timepiece on my right. It features crystals in the bezel that adds a glam factor, but is still perfectly...  Read More..

I try to avoid impulse shopping by going into a store already knowing what I want/need to buy, or waiting a few days to decide if I truly want/need it. And when I can’t stop obsessing over something in my head, it becomes a must-have. Such was the case with this striped J. Crew shirt and this neon/fluoro/hot pink Celine Leather Luggage Tote. I first saw the bag online on Savannah Brinson (Lebron’s fiancee). I own an olive green/black version of the bag and love it, and pink is my favorite color so naturally I had to have it, and finally managed to track one down. The color is several...  Read More..

As a writer/editor, I need my tech tools with me at all times – like my laptop for writing and editing, my iPhone for Tweeting and Facebooking, and my camera for street style and fashion snaps and cords to connect them all. So despite always carrying around large handbags, I need a separate one for tech stuff. Despite the many options, most tech bags just aren’t that cute. Sure they get the basic job done – carrying your stuff – but I need one that looks good too! So when the folks at Knomo contacted me about ‘test-driving’ one of their chic laptop bags, I...  Read More..

Statement jewelry is always a must-have in any fashionista’s wardrobe and last year there were few things that we loved more than bold, outrageous accessories. Check out our five favorite baubles from 2011. House of Harlow by Nicole Richie Mixed Media Large Cluster Ring When it comes to costume jewelry, our motto is ‘go big or go home’. Nicole Richie‘s House of Harlow jewelry line is full of statement-making pieces, like this House of Harlow Mixed Media Large Cluster Ring.

Being lovers of jewelry and The Muppets alike (yes, we proudly went to see the movie and would see it again in a heartbeat) – how excited we were to discover nOir Jewelry‘s ‘The Muppets‘ collection! The line includes 7 pieces of Muppet-inspired baubles, like rings, bracelets and necklaces, and we’d rock each and every one. We think the CZ & Pink Pearls ring, Miss Piggy’s pearl necklace, bracelet and ring are perfect for accessorizing cocktail dresses. The Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog pendant necklaces are super fun to wear anytime And the Animal pendant necklace...  Read More..

Forever 21 has always been our go-to place for cheap & chic costume jewelry, and now the selections are looking even better from their collaboration with jewelry line, Alex & Chloe. You may be familiar with Alex & Chloe‘s edgy brand – it’s full of rocker-chic and punk-inspired jewelry like thorned spike rings, claw and horn necklaces, two-finger studded rings and gunmetal cross bracelets. The Alex and Chloe for Forever 21 mirrors the feel of their designer collection, with cool studded arm cuffs and geometrically shaped studded bangles, cross details on earrings,...  Read More..

My accessory addiction knows no bounds, so no matter what store I’m in, I hit up the accessories section first. On a recent shopping trip to Zara I spied these crystal-studded platform slingbacks (that the photos do NO justice – they’re so much more beautiful in person) and I just had to have them. Of course there was only one pair left in my size so that was my sign! There was no way I was sleeping on these babies – they were coming home with me. And I also grabbed this multicolored bird print tee. Paired it with a pleated black maxi skirt and a leather biker jacket for...  Read More..

I spent the weekend before last with my family, in-laws and family friends celebrating Thanksgiving – two weeks early! Typically my Thanksgiving look is all about comfort but since this was a special occasion with guests aside from my family, I dressed up – just a bit. This Aztec-patterned Skater Skirt is from ASOS, and I paired it with a denim shirt from H&M (though I have my eye on this one from ASOS). I also got to take out my newly purchased kate spade bow bridge kennedy bag. It is one of the most perfect handbags I own – the shape, size, structured body, tan color and...  Read More..

We love jewelry that makes a statement, especially a literal one! No matter your relationship status, you’ll love the Married Single Ring by Monserat De Lucca. The Los Angeles-based accessories label is known for innovative designs of necklaces, bracelets and earrings and rings, like this square brass one that features a pivoting panel with ‘single’ on one side and ‘married’ on the other. We suggest you pick a side, as the mood strikes you. This chic ring delivers an unexpected artistic element that reflects the classic, modern woman who also wants to show off her...  Read More..

This holiday season tell them you want to ‘put a ring on it’. On your sweater, that is. Fall and winter was made for chic sweaters and it’s the perfect time to ‘rock’ this Ruby Ring sweater by Markus Lupfer. Made of navy blue merino wool, this round-neck sweater with ribbed trim pops with a large, multicolored ‘ring’ embellishment on the front, fashioned out of sequins. Pair with anything from skinny jeans to a sleek leather skirt. Feeling extra festive? Add string of pearls or a chunky gem necklace (like this one) to really rock it out! Made of 100%...  Read More..

Typically baby shower attire consists of little more than jeans and a shirt for most, but when the mommy-to-be is a fashionista, you know you have to step your game up. I recently attended my friend Adrienne’s baby shower last week and I knew that she and my other stylish friend Carmen would look uber-fab, so I decided to forgo my typical weekend top and jeans routine. I bought this Tucker dress last year when Target re-released dresses from its GO International Designer Collections. I really fell in love with the print and the red color. It was a cool day so I paired it with tights and...  Read More..

When it comes to costume jewelry, our motto is ‘go big or go home’. Delicate, fine jewelry is nice on occasion, but we prefer to make a statement! You’re familiar with House of Harlow, Nicole Richie‘s jewelry line created in collaboration with legendary jeweler Pascal Mouawad, right? Well it’s full of statement-making jewelry pieces, like this House of Harlow Mixed Media Large Cluster Ring. It’s is a piece of jewelry you should definitely get familiar with, as in get it on your hand ASAP. This ring is versatile with its multicolor resin and leather accents that...  Read More..

Gloomy days call for a pop of color, don’tcha think? In college, I used to be that girl that would always wear all black. Not sure what I had against color, since my high school wardrobe was PRETTY COLORFUL. Thank goodness there are few photos. But throughout college, I donned all black, pretty much all the time. Black is still the color I fall back on but I see myself opening up to more and more brightly colored pieces.  Depending on your figure, bright pants can sometimes be a scary thing but I found these flame-colored J. Crew Minnie stretch twill pants to be very figure-flattering. On...  Read More..

On one of the perfect, sun-filled days we had at the end of the summer, I pulled out this Kersh printed peplum-style top. Admittedly, I was never really a fan of the style – peplum dresses always conjure up images of awful eighties style to me – particularly the clothes Jackée Harry wore while playing sassy “Sandra Clark” on 227. Not to say that she wasn’t stylish back then – she was; but I think certain styles from the 80′s fashion archives are best left in that era. Fast-forward to 2011; peplum-style dresses have made a major comeback. I’m still...  Read More..

Joanna Laura Constantine designs beautiful jewelry that combines her individual style, and inspiration from her childhood roots in Lebanon.  Her collection of rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces have a bohemian chic flair of Middle Eastern design with unique stones and rich colors.  Our favorite statement piece is the Hammered Sparkle Ring because of the antiqued bronze plated metal, metallic tones and different size crystals. The dark metal complements the warm, vibrant hues we are drawn to during the fall months. For a dramatic effect,  layer this ring with other metallic accessories,...  Read More..
