LADYLIKE Spring

Prada S/S 2012
KENNETH JAY LANE Ruby Amethyst Drop Earrings

Ladylike fashions returned to spring runways with a slight vintage feel. We saw pretty 1950s-inspired looks from Prada and Jil Sander, and return to the 1920s jazz age from Louis Vuitton. Oscar de la Renta and Nina Ricci embraced soft feminine hues in their collections worthy of a princess. Their delightful jewellery left us swooning for all things sparkly and feminine.


Jil Sander S/S 2012
Vintage SHERMAN Brown Aurora Borealis Earrings
ERICKSON BEAMON Color Me Crazy Earrings

Prada's gorgeous drop statement earrings are making us reach for exuberant baubles like Kenneth Jay Lane's oversize chandelier earrings.

Jil Sander enlisted Erickson Beamon to supply jewels for the house's S/S collection. The theme was 1950s ladylike stylings, reminiscent of our vintage hero, Sherman.


Louis Vuitton S/S 2012
JENNIFER BEHR Chunky Crystal Strand Headwrap

How could we not love Louis Vuitton's 1920s-inspired looks? The collection featured headbands, which left us reaching for Jennifer Behr's thin crystal headwraps.


Oscar de la Renta S/S 2012
JACQUES FATH Chez MAXIM Jaune Earrings

Oscar de la Renta is all about femininity, and this season is no exception. We love the crystal encrusted button earrings as they remind us of Jacques Fath's 'Chez Maxim' collection.


Nina Ricci S/S 2012
SIMAN TU Butterfly Necklace

Nina Ricci's rich fabrics and textures were paired with statement necklaces in soft pastel hues, prompting us to pull our stunning Siman Tu butterfly necklace out of the closet.

ON THE RED CARPET: The Golden Globes

THE LOOK: Michelle Williams wearing a Fred Leighton vintage headband
TRY: Jennifer Behr Art Deco Crystal Silk Headband

The awards season is here, meaning that we are swooning over all the gorgeous red carpet fashions worn by Hollywood A-listers. Last night at the Golden Globes, there were many beautiful gowns, but eye sharp little eyes were on the stunning jewels.


THE LOOK: Charlize Theron wearing a vintage Cartier headband
TRY: Jennifer Behr Chunky Triple Row Crystal Headband

Two Golden Globe nominees, Michelle Williams and Charlize Theron opted for romantic headbands, a look we of course love. The two headbands couldn't have been more different: one was tiara-like with dazzling little diamonds, and the other a black jewelled headwrap echoing the 1920s.

THE LOOK: Heidi Klum wearing a turquoise Lorraine Schwartz necklace
TRY: Siman Tu Aqua Glass Necklace

Supermodel Heidi Klum opted for a more casual, California girl look with her chic and simple beige Calvin Klein dress, accented with a bright turquoise necklace. She looked so fresh and lovely.


THE LOOK: Salma Hayek wearing vintage gold drop earrings
TRY: Erickson Beamon 'Bette Davis Eyes' Earrings

Salma Hayek is a bombshell and she certainly dresses like one. Her gold Gucci column gown was a stunner, and so were her beautiful gold vintage chandelier earrings.


THE LOOK: Julianne Moore wearing bold green Fred Leighton emeralds drop earrings
TRY: Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Jade Earrings

Redhead beauty, Julianne Moore, looked elegant in her black Chanel gown paired with Fred Leighton's bold green emerald drop earrings. We love the green jewel tones -- a subtle yet bright way to stand out in the crowd.


THE LOOK: Elle McPhersen wearing Lorraine Shwartz pave bangles
TRY: Kenneth Jay Lane Double Lion Head Bracelet

The ageless supermodel Elle Macpherson's gown may have been a tad bit bridal for the occasion, but we adore her stacked Lorraine Shwartz bangles. Mixing multiple textures and tones is somewhat of an art form, and Elle really perfected it here.

If Golden Globes looked this good, imagine what the Oscars will be like. Can't wait.

TANGERINE Spring

S/S 2012: Carlos Miele; Alexander McQueen; Celine;
Victoria Beckham; Loeffler Randall

Happy New Year! It's time to think bright for spring with 2012's "colour of the year" Tangerine Tango. This bright reddish orange hue appeared on countless runways including Alexander McQueen, Celine, Carlos Miele, Peter Som, and Oscar de la Renta. Accessories, of course, are also following the trend, with shoes and bags from Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Victoria Beckham, Loeffler Randall, and Christian Dior, just to name a few. But let's not forget about bright tangerine jewels!


Alexander McQueen S/S 2012
LEIVANKASH Feather Bracelet
KENNETH JAY LANE Turquoise Coral Brooch

For an antique look, we love both Kenneth Jay Lane's opulent turquoise and coral brooch, and the beautifully simple feather bracelet by LeiVanKash.


Celine S/S 2012
HOUSE OF HARLOW Coral Tribal Ring
NOIR Shaka Lanyard Bracelet

For a more sporty, casual look that echoes Celine S/S 2012, we love Noir's new 'Shaka' lanyard bracelet with gold hardware, and House of Harlow's 'Tribal' ring (it's a little art deco too, no?).


Carlos Miele S/S 2012
KENNETH JAY LANE Coral Drop Earrings
BOUNKIT Topaz Peridot and Coral Bracelet

And for those ultra glamorous moments, we are coveting Kenneth Jay Lane's dramatic oversized chandelier coral earrings, and Bounkit's stunning beaded coral cuff.

CELEBRITY SPOTTING

Time Out New York

We've been spotting our pretty jewels everywhere. Magazine covers, editorials, red carpets... all on beautiful, trendsetting celebrities.


Scarlett Johansson wearing DANNIJO 'Garbo' Earrings

Femme fatale Scarlett Johansson looks gorgeous and very festive on Time Out's holiday-themed cover. She is wearing Dannijo's 'Garbo' earrings to complete her vintage look.


Emma Roberts wearing DANNIJO 'Garbo' Earrings

Julia Roberts' talented niece, Emma Roberts, is like a tiny version of her. She looks adorable, and very Audrey Hepburn-esque, in her Dannijo 'Garbo' earrings.


Michelle Trachtenberg wearing Dannijo 'Mazati' Necklace

Gossip Girl's favourite bad girl (they should bring her back!), Michelle Tranchtenberg, looks sleek and beautiful with her dark red lipstick and her Dannijo 'Mazati' statement necklace.


Mila Kunis wearing CC SKYE 'Starburst' Bangles, Cosmopolitan (September 2011)

Stunning and funny girl, Mila Kunis, exudes effortless style. We love the soft sweetheart neckline of this dress, against CC Skye's hard edged 'Starburst' bangles.


Kirsten Dunst wearing EDDIE BORGO Gold Pave Cone Bracelet, FLARE (November 2011)

Kirsten Dunst is picture perfect on the cover of FLARE magazine, wearing a bright Giambattista Valli dress. Only one accessory to complete the look: Eddie Borgo's cone bracelet.


Olivia Palermo wearing LEIVANKASH Feather Bracelet

And last but not the least, is our favourite girl, Olivia Palermo, showing some love for LeiVanKash again. This time she opted for a feather bracelet, for a nice bright dose of turquoise.

Spotted on GOSSIP GIRL

Blair wearing Bounkit

Have you been tuning into Gossip Girl this season? The storyline is a little all over the place, but our favourite girls are looking as fabulous as always. Blair has adjusted her already impeccable style and added a royal twist to it, like fascinators (almost like headbands, right?) and pretty ladylike jewellery.


BOUNKIT Faceted Moonstone Earrings

We are, of course, in love with her Bounkit moonstone earrings, surrounded by tiny little faceted stones. So pretty, kind of Grace Kelly-like (it's only fitting).


Serena wearing Bounkit

We love Serena's style even though it's really the opposite of Blair's. She likes sexier silhouettes at night, and more boho flowy ones during the day.


BOUNKIT Multi Strand Turquoise Necklace

At the beginning of the season, Serena epitomised California chic, with this gorgeous turquoise necklace by Bounkit.

It's good that the girls have a solid friendship this season. It's only fitting that Serena should be Blair's maid of honour and we can't wait to see what they choose to wear on the wedding day. The only thing is: the Prince has got to go! We're pulling for Chuck.
