Miu Miu Jeweled Buckle Belt: Love It or Hate It?

Here's an unlikely story: something sparkly, blue, and Miu Miu, and I'm about to pooh-pooh. I came across this Miu Miu Jeweled Buckle Belt ($302) and thought it was just so . . . Claire's Boutique. I think it's the pastel blue hue that makes it borderline tacky. Is that way harsh, Tai? Take all of my Love It or Hate It Polls here!

Shoulders were the most popular; notice the cool contrast of this black sparkly cluster Read more

Trend Alert: Riddle Me Rhinestones

Since I can remember I have been drawn to riddle me rhinestones. I think that was an early sign I was going to always succumb to beautiful things and therefore work in fashion! The real beauty of rhinestones is that they are inexpensive, well, depending on what you get. But they come in a range of quality and price; as exhibited by the jewels on the Christian Dior RTW runway and our Look for Read more

Burberry Ashcombe Clutch: Love It or Hate It?

What girl can resist a smattering of big jewels? Not too many I know. This Burberry Ashcombe Clutch, $620, is making me have second thoughts, though, which is quite the accomplishment. There's no rhyme or reason to the way the jewels are placed, and there's a little too much silver for my taste, between the gems, the hardware, and the top of the clutch. What about you, are you a fan? To post Read more

Jewelry is all about the chunky and funky for Fall, so this vintage treasure could pass for new! The gold-tone teardrop backing is glammed up with three huge haphazardly arranged purple rhinestones. I love this pendant, because putting it on will take the simplest outfit and make it unique, easy as 1-2-3 rhinestones! The current bidding price is at $7.95 and the auction ends on Sunday, Read more

Gerard Yosca Crystal Link Necklace: Love It or Hate It?

This is some heavy-duty costume jewelry. Literally: between the heavy chain and progressively larger sapphire and purple crystals, this Gerard Yosca Crystal Link Necklace, $265, could way a girl down, if not paired with a simple, streamlined ensemble. I do like the jewel tone colors of the crystals, though, and if rocked right, this necklace could be quite stunning. What do you think? To post Read more

A great shape for oval faces, these bejeweled wraparound sunglasses take basking in the sun to another level.
