2008 Emmy Awards Trend Alert: Dripping With Beading
Lavishly beaded dresses are no strangers to the red carpet. Nevertheless, their gorgeousness paid us many visits at the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards. Whether on neutral, black, or white dresses, sparkly beads and crystals made the carpet a much more luminous place tonight.
Trend Alert: All That Glitters
All the razzle and dazzle of the Cannes Film Festival has me begging for all that glitters. Silver sparkles, in the form of beads and sequins add a cool, not costumey, feel to clothes.

Trend Alert: Beading
I have dabbled in the craft of beading. For me, though, it is very elementary stuff, you know, earrings and bracelets for my friends. That's why when I saw this look from the Fall Zac Posen runway I was in awe.

The Look For Less: Vivre Beaded Rope Necklace
I never considered wearing a beaded rope necklace until I came across one in the jewelry sale section at Macy's. I mean, for $6, I couldn't refuse. Although I bought it to use mainly as a bracelet, it evolved into a necklace at a recent event.
2009 American Music Awards: Colbie Caillat
Songstress Colbie Caillat showed off her experimental side tonight. The short hemline of her ruffled black silk gown calls attention to her sexy stems, while a long fishtail in the back exudes elegance.

Trend Alert: Long and Lovely Beads
A subtle way to wear a bohemian rhapsody is by trailing some long and lovely beads around your neck. SJP has been advocating statement necklaces all year, here, she lightened things up with some bronze double stranded pearls. Pearls are a fine option, and there's so much more to play dress up with.
Jessica McClintock Beaded Soft Clutch: Love It or Hate It?
My high school senior prom dress was Jessica McClintock. I am happy to announce that I still adore what I wore to prom; it was a strapless champagne mermaid gown, with a rhinestone border along the fold at the bustline. It may sound boring, but it was classic.
