Just like wicker and rattan, — two staples of spring and summer, — this weave cuff is absolutely appropriate for ringing in the new season.
Kenneth Jay Lane is known for his simple but innovative jewelry designs, and this cuff is no exception.
22k electroplated gold, this Kenneth Jay Lane cuff is nickel-free (read: if the plating fades, […]

In the midst of my search for a sweet summer kaftan, I stumbled across Antik Batik’s Erin mini dress. Of course, this shining sequin mini dress is totally not beach-appropriate; it’s more suited for occasions like Christmas or New Year’s Eve. But even in February a girl needs a little sparkle in her life.
Antik Batik’s Erin mini dress wears conservative […]

Valentine’s day is often viewed with a closed mind – the day of love is over-rated; it’s too commercialized; it’s a single day that makes singletons stand out, –

This Elsa Peretti® iconic charm is 18k rose gold that’s curved and fired to shape a soft heart. This charm is sold alone, meant for you to companion with your […]

If you asked me whether I’m a diamonds or pearls girl – today I’d say pearls, hands down.
And hands held on this gorgeous Celestina Pacquiao clutch.
Small in size but voluminous in value, this Celestina clutch is made from pure mother-of-pearl, straight from the Philippines. Add to that a 14k gold frame, — yes, it’s genuine through-and-through! — […]

I’ve always had an appreciation for blonde-haired beauties who have brains, too. Gwen Stefani is definitely one of those women. Balancing babies with business, styling with singing; she’s an excellent example of multi-tasking. And while I’m totally over Gwen’s L.A.M.B. collections filled with Gucci-knock-off -inspired logo canvas, banded stripes, and cinched waists, –
I do love this pair of […]

One mistake I find that women make is piling on waaay too many layers of gaudy jewelery. I mean, a dash of flash is fine, but layering lots of loud necklaces, rings, bracelets, — whatever — is just too much.
When it comes to layering necklaces, the simpler the necklaces the more sophisticated your final look will […]

More than I’d enjoy wearing Gucci’s “Newton” high heel booties, I like looking at them. Am I the only person who thinks they look like a piece of art, or something from the page-a-day shoe calendar?
Just look at that sleek patent black leather, joined so beautifully with a glossy gold (gooold!) back. Featuring a 4 […]

What I love about sash-waisted belts is their versatility — they provide women with a way to cinch their waists or accentuate their hips — and no matter how sash-waisted belts are worn, they always look classic.
Michael Kors’ woven belt is beautiful — albeit pricey — and available in a dark brown or metallic gold […]

Fresh from his spring collection, Christian Louboutin contrasts hot pink with his signature red soles and readies women for warmer temperatures with patent leather strapped and standing on a four-inch heel.
Though January’s not exactly a practical time for open toes, these sandals beg to be worn now. Especially with the mercury dropping, I can think of nothing hotter than hot […]

Getting ready for New Year’s Eve can be fun, especially if you’ve made plans to celebrate at a soiree with friends, and though the thought of cramming in the cold around Times Square has always been less than desireable to me, –
I certainly find this Renee Lewis pave diamond necklace to be just the opposite.
Like the […]

All metallic leather in my favourite colour (GOLD!), Coach’s leather jewelry box is compact but comprised of several compartments to store every jewel you receive this holiday season.
Tucked away inside glamourous gold leather is a removable top tray, and a bottom tray with dual storage. It also features Coach’s signature turnlock closure.
And though it’s better […]

This ring looks complex — hard edges round a circle shape — but like many things in life, it’s a simple concept disguised with curvaceous cusps.
18k gold worn in a wide band, this Frank Gehry® ring is a glowing reminder of why the best things in life are free.
Wait, did I say free?
I meant $1800.

Metallic calf-skin wears like classic class and complete comfort on your feet.
Orbs — gold orbs — deocorating a platform sole and stick-thin heel?
Eye-catching chic.
And strangely, almost appropriate to hang from your Christmas tree.
Or at least gift-wrap in a box for underneath.

Sure, it’s already arm-candy to Rachel-Kate-Lindsay-Lohan-Bilson-Bosworth, but who doesn’t absolutely adore Zac Posen’s abbey satchel?
So perfectly chic with its sturdy shape and smooth-grained leather.
So perfectly ergonomical with its flat (read: comfortable) shoulder straps and flat leather bottom (read: durable).
So perfectly groomed for fall/winter 07/08 with its subtle patent details and GOOOOLD! hardware.
