Trend Alert: Necklace Mix

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Joy's got the necklace mix down. It's so easy, and it elevates her simple look. It's also a sweet way to show off your sentimental style. I tend to layer chains with charms, and mix metals, but I'm now inspired to throw beads, chains, and ribbons into the mix. The only rule is, there is no rule! Have fun, don't hesitate to create, create, create.

Besides hosting Halloween, October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It affects millions of women in the world - including these courageous celebrities. This exclusive Breast Cancer Awareness Necklace ($58), by Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James, tops my list of awesome, cause-worthy finds. I'm smitten with the simplistic design and the rose gold leaf is beautiful. What a fashionable way to show your support to breast cancer.

Trend Alert: Funky Foliage

Never mind who the cutie is standing alongside Erin O'Connor (if you must know, it's Daniel Stewart), check out the amazing funky foliage necklace she has on. The fluffy silk organza petals add major dimension and texture to her 'fit, but if that's not your thing, fresh floral options also come in silver, gold, and mixed metals. Here's a cool DIY tip: purchase a couple of small silk flowers from your local craft store and glue them on to your existing stash of pearl or metal chains. Done and done.

Ask any homie and they'll tell you I love necklaces. Long, short, beaded, studded - I own them all. Not only do they instantly add spice to your attire, they're also a fun way to show off your sparking personality. When I'm feeling extra cheerful, I layer on the colored beads; on gloomier days, I sport dark chains. Are you on top of your necklace game? Take my quiz to see if you can guess the stylin' necklace!

I own more adornments than I care to divulge, but that won't stop me from buying more. Hey, it comes with the job. In fact, I just purchased these Bing Bang Cherokee Earrings for an upcoming wedding - they'll go perfect with my long, lavender maxi. As an accessory connoisseur, it's easy for me to identify jewelry designers by their trademark styles. Would you like to get Fab certified?

The Look For Less: Lanvin Strass Necklace

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:00:11 -0700

I adore how ribbon necklaces look simultaneously whimsical and elegant; kind of like a fancy DIY. The dramatic nature of this Lanvin Strass Necklace ($469, originally $935) would add decadence to my wardrobe, but even at the sale price, I can't afford it. Seriously - does it really cost that much to make this necklace?

This Forever 21 Jewels & Lace Ribbon Necklace ($7) is just as breathtaking without the crazy price tag. I can already picture the lace and jewel trim against a simple white tee for maximum contrast. Done and done.

Trend Alert: Pirate's Booty

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 03:00:08 -0700

Sandra Bullock's pirate's booty immediately grabbed my attention. I'm talking about her necklace: it's funky, chunky, and looks like it came from hidden loot under the sea. When searching for such adornments, focus on a mix of chains, pearls, charms, and underwater influences. The chunkier, the better. Since it's a statement piece, pair it with a simple yet sassy LBD like Sandra did at The Proposal premiere in LA, or rock it out with a plain tee. Argh - it's mermaid marvelous.

Glitterati: Gorjana

FabSugar — Thu, 07 May 2009 07:50:22 -0700

After viewing Gorjana's collection of baubles, I've come to the realization that I need some staple jewelry. Simple, elegant, easy to layer - Gorjana has exactly what I'm looking for. Well, maybe not just me. Gorjana's pieces have been spotted on celebs such as Cindy Crawford, Lindsay Lohan, and Mandy Moore to name a few. I like how the Yugoslavian-born designer is able to meld a unique aspect into her necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets by adding just the right amount of bling to her creations. And guess what? The line is pretty affordable! Goodies range from $30 to $185 for her main line. Lucky for you, I found a couple of pieces on sale - enjoy.
