    Stock Up On Tarina Tarantino's City Girls Collection ...

    Jewelry is a girl's best friend. With that in mind, I have completely indulged in Tarina Tarantino's "City Girls" collection. This summer, the L.A.-based accessories and jewelry designer introduces her new collection. Inspired by her favorite cities around the world, Tarina has created an iconic girl who represents the essence of the city and the chic women who live there. The first to launch is Los Angeles, Tarina's favorite city in the world and the place she calls home, and they're now available at Karmaloop.com. The L.A. City Girl grew up on the east side, shops on Melrose and hangs out in Hollywood. Taking inspiration from all over the City of Angels, this girl wears a thick sleeve of LA tattoos up along her arm. Sugar skulls from the day of the dead celebration on Olvera Street appear on new stones, while the roses from Pasadena highlight necklaces and earrings. The muted palate of grays, gold, silver, black and white from old Hollywood films all inspire the colors and Swarovski crystals used in this collection. Tarina's collection is baroque, ornate and full of special details, reflecting her famous sparkling and colorful creations. My favorite pieces are the long multibead locket necklace in gold, the cast metal hollowpoint bullet bead necklace in gold and the metallic bead and crystal stretch bracelet. Check out the rest of the collection at Karmaloop.com.

    Say "so long!" to the quintessential heart pendants and sterling silver dog tags and unlock your own personal style with Tiffany & Co's new Keys Collection. The imaginative array of vintage key pendants were inspired by those from the Tiffany Archives and have been reworked from their original uses as keepsake box openers and diary keepers (who knows what secrets they once held!) and updated with a modern wearable chicness. From sterling silver and yellow and white gold to platinum and diamond-encrusted, the design possibilities are plentiful and it's difficult not to find something that fits with just about anyone's personal style among the variety of floral-inspired, medallion-like, heart-shaped, and classic-looking charms. Already spotted on the likes of Jessica Biel, it seems like these fanciful keys are sure to be a hot trend while still maintaining an air of uniqueness and mystery with so many styles to choose from. Check Tiffany.com for their imminent online release!


    Price: prices start at $230
    Who Found It: zhamyremy was the first to add the Tiffany Keys to the Hive.

    Agyness Deyn And MGMT Spotted Wearing Jewish Rosaries from ...

    You don't need to be a Torah-toter to love Jewish rosaries. These religion-inspired beads have been popping up on cool kids everywhere (including their fearless leaders Agyness Deyn and the boys from MGMT). The (JEW)elery collection was started by Carlen Altman in her Brooklyn, NY, studio when she was inspired by vintage Catholic rosaries. As a nice little Jewish girl in BK, she couldn't bring herself to wear a cross; hence the birth of Jewish rosaries. Each necklace is adorned with shapes like Stars of David, Hamsa hands and menorah charms. You can choose from an array of styles with names like "Chai Maintenance" for the discerning Jewess or Shiksa, or just a simple one from the "Classic" collection with a Star of David. These unusual necklaces come in both gold and silver with your choice of colored beads (personally I think the Jet shade has a great 80's Madonna feel to it). The most recent collection comes in red, black, and even in-glow-in-the-dark (coolest thing ever!!). These are so kitschy and cool, even goyem like me can sport them! Check out the slideshow to see some of the styles and then head over to the Jewish Rosaries site to claim one (or a few) of your own!

    The most recent issue of Elle Accessories showcases fall's top accessory trends, and "Waist Watchers," a selection of bold belts that you won't find just anywhere, is definitely one to watch. These aren't your ordinary belts- they're oozing with hardware and embellishments and will take your look from dull to daring in a flash. You can cinch them at the natural waist for a polished, feminine hourglass silhouette or sling them low on the hips for a cool, casual vibe. And belts show no signs of disappearing anytime soon, so it's a good idea to invest in one or two that will update your wardrobe and brighten your day. Why not buckle up one of Elle's head-turning picks instead of that old basic you've worn a million times? Don't miss page 151 of the mag for some eye-catching finds, check out our slideshow for even more, and conquer the holiday season with some brave new belts!
