    Coral Jewelry And Other Sea Life Inspired Things For Your Closet!

    image
    Anna Yu on Jul 2, 2009 4:27 PM PDT
    When I was an elementary school, my favorite field trips were the ones that involved the ocean. From going to the beach to find seashells to visiting the aquarium and exploring the shallow tide pools. What better way to recapture those carefree days than to incorporate it into our wardrobes! Before you think that adding things like coral and seashell prints will make you look like your mom, think again. The trick is to go towards a more subtle route. Don't pile on the coral jewelry with a large sea life printed dress unless you want to look like you're trying out for a Golden Girls revivial! Instead, layer on a long faux coral charm necklace with other chain necklaces. If you're going to do a large statement piece like the seahorse printed tank top, then keep everything else sleek and simple. Take a look at my slideshow for more sea life inspired items that will have you singing "Under the Sea."

    How To Sew Your Own Bib Necklace

    Nicole Smith is an editor at CraftStylish, a site dedicated to original do-it-yourself projects for home, fashion, wedding, and more. Below she shares how to sew your own bib necklace... and in turn, save yourself from a thousand-dollar debt at Neiman Marcus!


    While looking at the inspirational catalog from Neiman Marcus today, I came across this necklace by Ranjana Khan. The necklace retails for $1,200, and is very similar to this project I made for less than $20, which I call the "Bijoux Necklace." My original inspiration for this project was a necklace by Burberry from their Fall '08 collections. Chunky jewels have been a runway staple the past few seasons, embellishing everything from shoes and headbands to hemlines and jewelry. Get the look quickly with organza (don't worry; it's easy to sew) and faux jewels. A ribbon makes the necklace adjustable for a chocker length or longer. You can also enlarge or reduce the size of the template to any dimensions you like. You'll need: 1/4 yard of organza, 3/4 yard of 5/8-inch-wide velvet ribbon, assorted sew-on jewels, scissors, a sewing machine, a hand-sewing needle, and thread. Get the full step-by-step instructions, along with the pattern's template, on CraftStylish!

    Hot In The Hive: Bubble Necklace By Marina and Susanna Sent

    Anna Yu on Jun 30, 2009 6:18 AM PDT
    I recently went to a beautiful garden wedding where the bride looked radiant in white and the bridal party and groomsmen where matching in verbena green accessories. It was a pretty informal affair, with the groom strumming a song on his acoustic guitar as the bride walked down the aisle. This non-traditional ceremony ended with all the attendees blowing bubbles instead of throwing rice or confetti. I haven't seen the pictures yet, but I'm sure that the bride and groom looked amazing with bubbles surrounding them. When I found the Bubble Necklace at the MoMA store recently, I realized I could get the same look without getting drenched in soapy solution (or hitched!). Made of Murano glass beads, the beads look like they're effortlessly floating on your decolletage. While they're harder to pop, be careful not to break any of the glass bubbles!

    Price: $103.50-$115

    Tell Time With Oversized Watches!

    image

    Every year, "oversized" gets its 15 minutes of fashion fame. First there was big, over-sized, over-teased hair. We have seen over-sized pants and for both men and women, as well as over-sized outerwear and over-sized jewelry. More recently, we have seen over-sized sunglasses that make women look like one of their parents may have been a fly, as well as over-sized totes and handbags that could double as a studio apartment. The next must-have, over-sized accessory is definitely the watch. Huge watches are popping up everywhere from the dainty wrists of society's finest to edgy hipsters. The styles vary from simple and streamlined to adorned and flashy and everything in between. They are a great substitute for a bracelet or piece of statement jewelry and you can have multiple styles to go with multiple outfits! This is a great look for both men and women and would make a great gift as a matching set. Watches are a "must" part of an interview outfit and now you are able to show that your are responsible, reliable and fashionable! Have it be one of many eye-catching components to an ensemble, or punch up a classic look with this extreme accessory. Check out the slideshow for some favorite over-sized watch designs and find one that you'd like to spend time with!
