    How To Sew Your Own Bib Necklace

    image

    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!

    Have you ever spent way too much time planning out the day's ensemble the night before, only to put it on the next morning and realize it looks significantly more "blah" on you than it did in your head? No matter how many layers, mixing-and-matching, and pops of color you might have tried to incorporate, something just seems to be missing. Don't fret, dear stylistas; as usual, Stylehive's Stylescopes are here to fix your fashion woes and provide you with stellar style advice that is sure to help you get through the week! A boringly bare outfit usually just needs a little glamming or glitzing up by means of jewelry -- a pendant necklace to keep a naked collar company, a dangly pair of earrings to keep the attention on your pretty face, some bangles to add a dash of flash to your wrists -- the possibilities are practically endless! The heavens forbid, however, that you go overboard with the bling, so make sure you choose your ornaments wisely... and that's where the stars come in! Aries girls can call on some old Hollywood glamor with an updated pearl necklace for some added classy flair to a seemingly everyday outfit, and Capricorns will show they mean business with a pair of gold coin earrings, just for example!

    Give Back In Throwback Style With Trinkets By Double K Jewelry

    Recycling just got much more chic with Double K Jewelry! The line started when designer Kelleigh Kincaid was looking for some jewelry pieces that had a more personal touch and a tad more soul than what she could find in stores. Inspired by ages past, she draws on the art nouveau movement and the turn of the century for inspiration in creating her interesting pieces. Her ideas aren't the only thing that comes from the past, however; the necklaces and earrings are created using vintage and recycled items that are reworked into modern day wearable pieces. The Spring 2009 "Maltese Falcon" collection was inspired by the glamour of 1920s San Francisco. Vintage deco pendants, oxidized chains, and even vintage clock parts become long necklaces perfect for layering and pairing with delicate pendant earrings. Not only is the line eco-friendly and recycled, the designer also pledges to donate 10% of the proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Check out the slideshow to see some of my personal favorite styles, then take a look at their website DoubleKJewelry.com for a complete store listing!

    Video Style Steal: Kelly Clarkson Proves Our Lives Would Suck ...

    Kelly Clarkson has already marked 2009 as the year of her comeback with her record-breaking new single "My Life Would Suck Without You" and her upcoming fourth album "All I Ever Wanted" due out this March... and I'd say it's about time! Our favorite American Idol winner has slipped under the radar for a year or two, and we single folk have certainly missed her solid girl-power singles (there hasn't been another liberating breakup song to belt out the car window quite as satisfying as "Since U Been Gone") and soulfully poignant power ballads to get us through those romantic rough patches. And in her absence, plenty of new female performers have stepped up to the plate to both fill in the void on the charts and serve as our fashion muses -- such as Katy Perry's naughty pin-up girl style and Duffy's jazzy throwback feel -- but there just hasn't been any other performer to do the casual-yet-chic rocker chick vibe justice quite like Kelly can. While some Clarkson critics may say her new song lyrics seem strangely self-sacrificing and sunny compared to her previous ex-bashing persona we all knew and loved, her video for "My Life Would Suck Without You" shows that even though her bitter lyrics may have sweetened up a bit, she's still got her playful-yet-empowered edginess and sophisticated rockstar style, not to mention tons of hair-whipping energy to boot. With lots of layered jewelry, the right cropped blazer, and the legs to pull off a pair of shiny leggings as pants, you can put your own spin on both Kelly's power-performer style and her joyriding girl-next-door get-up she rocks in the video. Take a look at the video yourself, then check the slideshow to see how you can channel Kelly's kick-ass comeback looks- no stylist needed!

    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!
