Shop For Chic Jewelry And Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Anna Yu on Oct 8, 2009 2:17 PM PDT

As you may know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so while we may be thinking of dark fall colors, it's definitely time to think pink instead. I'm not the biggest fan of wearing t-shirts with words or ribbons so I'm doing my part in the cause by adding some jewelry to my wardrobe instead. Various designers and retailers have partnered together to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Network of Strength, Susan G. Komen Foundation and other research efforts. That means the money you used for the bling you're wearing went to an amazing cause. Talk about guilt free shopping! Some of my favorite pieces include Avanessi One Love bracelet where 15% of sales will go to the Susan G. Komen foundation. I also really like the bold pink strap and watch face of the Francine Patent BCRF Watch by Coach. Take a look at my slideshow for some of my favorite jewelry that supports breast cancer research and awareness!

Go Bold In Electric Blue Like Jessica Stroup

Sabrina Newman on Sep 27, 2009 5:19 AM PDT

At the Melrose Place launch party in L.A., 90210 star Jessica Stroup was definitely one of the night's standouts. Jessica wore a gorgeous electric blue cowl-neck minidress from Jenni Kayne topped off with an embellished black belt. Given the high-octane color of the dress, Jessica refrained from adding more color to the mix, opting for a sleek black Sergio Rossi clutch and a killer pair of cutout pumps. Keeping it simple with regards to accessories, she cut it off at one gorgeous cocktail ring from Siera. A slightly slouchy minidress like this one is extremely versatile- wear it as a tunic and layer it over leggings or skinny jeans for a daytime look, or pair with opaque tights, pumps, and a sharp blazer for a sophisticated day-to-night style. You really can't go wrong with this color either and it's one of the few bright shades that flatters just about any complexion. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get this standout style!

Celeb Style Steal: How To Do Lauren Conrad's Sleek Chic

Sabrina Newman on Aug 13, 2008 6:05 AM PDT

The greatest fashion lesson to be learned from the lovely Lauren Conrad is this: find a formula that works and run with it. The reality star/fashion designer has been known to mix it up on occasion by experimenting with different looks, but overall, Lauren's style is polished, chic, and structured, with an underlying no-muss no-fuss effortless feel. At the Do Something pre-party for the Teen Choice Awards, Lauren stuck to her winning formula and looked as perfectly put together as always in a Mason strapless sheath dress topped off with a skinny belt, Christian Louboutin pumps and some delicate accessories, including a necklace she designed for the MARK Cosmetics m.powerment campaign. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get this perfectly polished look!

Hive 5: We Rounded Up Your Grooviest Flower Child Finds!

Lisanne Silverman on Jul 18, 2008 3:22 PM PDT

Now, I'm a child of the 80s, but looking at pictures of my mom when she was my age with her long, super-straight hair and billowy shirts almost immediately sent me on a seventies-inspired shopping frenzy....almost. Fringe still makes me cringe a bit, but Gucci's 'devendra' boots might just change my mind with their luxe gold hardware and perfectly shaped toe. But for a much less expensive foray into decades past, feel free to sneak into your parents' closet when they're not home, and see what you find... and then later, use the loot to extract any, uh, noteworthy stories about past lives. Click on my slideshow to see five fashion-forward flower child styles!

Editor's Pick: Fabric Jewelry Makes a Soft Statement

Lisanne Silverman on Apr 3, 2008 2:16 PM PDT

There's just something about putting on a piece of jewelry that isn't your everyday necklace or ring that's a little bit extraordinary. Statement jewelry comes to mind, but truthfully, many of those pieces are made for runways and red carpets and are just too out there for day to day wear. So what is there to do when you want to make a statement but you don't want to feel like your jewelry is actually wearing you? Fabric jewelry with unexpected ribbons and materials carries the same effect as the chunkier types, but it won't weigh you down or take away from that effortless look you're aiming to capture. We love MARNI's collection but there are more affordable ones out there as well! Keep your other jewelry to a minimum when you wear these - simple studs will do. Click SEE THE SLIDESHOW for more!
