    Hot In The Hive: Bounkit's Amethyst Cuff, As Seen On Leighton ...

    Although it's only in its third season, it's hard to remember a time when there was no "Gossip Girl" in our lives. There were no full-fledged fashionista high-schoolers with wardrobes that would turn Victoria Beckham green with envy, or crazy and twisted love stories that make you wonder ... when are these people actually in class? Who did we turn to for juicy, over-indulgent guilty pleasures and lust-worthy fashion items that we knew weren't affordable but put it on the shopping list anyway, along with numerous other unattainables? I cannot, for the life of me, remember what we used to do on Monday nights at 9pm. Well, their costume department has done it again, and this time it's with a gorgeous, sparkling bracelet that is elegant, sophisticated, youthful and not exactly cheap. However, the Amethyst Cuff by Bounkit Jewelry is the kind of jewelry that, although flashy and eye-catching, is still feminine and demure enough to wear with a whole variety of outfits. A flowing tops and skinny jeans for daytime would look amazing topped off with this brilliant piece, while a black dress and sky-high heels would stand out even more. Either way, there is no denying the beauty and appeal of this Bounkit cuff, and how much we wish we could just snatch it off Leighton Meester's dainty little wrist and make a run for it!


    Price: $560

    Meet Australian Stylediarist Amethyst. Although her style mantra happens to be "quality over quantity, her StyleDiary sure offers up an impressive number of innovative and romantic looks. I'm already inspired by her variety of shorter style dresses, skirts, shorts - and especially seeing how she wears them during the different seasons. Amethyst favors a classic yet timeless color palette of mostly blues, greys, creams, and black, but she isn't afraid to add subtle pops of color from items like grape-colored tights or a knit red beret. But fabulous sense of style aside, Amethyst's StyleDiary is worthy of a visit simply due to her collection of envy-inducing fashion finds. I'm already pining over more than a few items straight out of her personal wardrobe! Like this shrunken coat with beautiful ruffle detailing and this irresistibly chic ivory cape. So see Amethyst's StyleDiary for yourself, or click on the slideshow to see my favorite looks straight from her page.

    Style Spotlight: 10 High-End Gemstone Pieces To Covet

    Think that only independent jewelry designers use gemstone beads in their collections? Think again! Even the major jewelry design houses like Tiffany & Co., Bvlgari, and Cartier work gemstone beads into their jewelry designs. Gemstone beads are usually either faceted or smooth, come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and can vary greatly in quality. Beads can be drilled all the way through the center, across a corner or point, or even half drilled. Drilling gemstones allows them to be incorporated into jewelry designs with minimal requirements for mounting and setting, allowing the beauty of the gems to be appreciated from every angle. Does drilling a gemstone detract from the beauty of the stone or of the overall piece? Judge for yourself from these images of ten of my favorite high-end designer jewelry pieces that feature gemstone beads.

    Color Queue: Passionate Purple Eyes

    If you have not yet fallen for the dazzling array of vivid clothing, shoes, bags, belts and sunglasses that are deleriously prevalent this season, the color purple may be what final drags you in. Not the movie, girls... the color! In all of it's seductive mysteriousness, moodiness and glamorous flair. There is a perfect purple for each and every one of you, and this purple belongs however you dare to apply it€“ whether in a dreamy wash of color, a romantic smoky smudge, or a bold streak€“ on your eyelids.

    Shades of purple, violet and aubergine reigned supreme on the runways at Thakoon, Behnaz Sarafpour, Bottega Veneta, Christian LaCroix, and Valentino- the most dramatic look (and one of my favorites) being the stark ultraviolet halos worn by blue-eyed model Siri Tollerød, at Behnaz Sarafpour. Sephora.com features a similar look as part of their homage to brightly colored makeup this season. According to Jerrod Blandino, celebrity makeup artist and creator of Too Faced Cosmetics, "Purple shadows make blue eyes look bluer, green eyes look more brilliant, and brown eyes look lighter. This season's purples sizzle with iridescent pigments that add a sexy and futuristic metallic edge."
