You're probably already familiar with Elizabeth & James, if not for the fact that the line is the design-child of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, then certainly for their slew of overpriced (yet still totally covetable) shoes at Shopbop. But did you know that the duo also does jewelry! Usually our jewelry designer spotlights involve labels that really love extravagance -- opulent bib necklaces, jewels and feathers galore... Such is not the case for Elizabeth & James' latest jewelry collection. For Spring/Summer 2010, they opted to keep things simple yet chic: a classy color palette of silver and gold, with nary a bib nor bead in sight! The collection takes on a decidedly Southwestern feel, with feather motifs, arrows shapes, and even dangling snake earrings, but overall the pieces seek to add a subtle dash of shine, not make or break your whole outfit. Take a look at the slideshow for some featured pieces from the latest collection!
Who Was Most Fashionable At The Elle Style Awards?

At the annual Elle Style Awards, which took place last Monday in London, we were expecting plenty of famous faces -- both in the guest list and the guests' labels. After all, with a name like Elle and a night dedicated to a subject like style, you can't help but expect nothing but fashion's finest. We certainly weren't disappointed in that respect, as the red carpet boasted the likes of Claire Danes, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, and other beautiful style icons from all over the globe. While some of the get-ups looked worthy of Lady GaGa's next award show appearance, others played it safe yet sexy, providing a red carpet parade full of variety. Alexa Chung looked like her usual elegant yet I-just-rolled-out-of-bed self in a blue Chanel dress and messy ponytail, and Best Actress nominee Carey Mulligan was quirky in a belted top and knee-length skirt. As a pair, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen looked fashionably yin-and-yang in contrasting tulle-covered gowns, while Kristen Stewart gave off her signature awkward vibe despite the sexiness of her Pucci minidress. Vote below on which celebrity stylista really pulled out all the stops! Photo Credit: PR Photos
