All That Glitters For New Year’s Eve Parties

Posted by Jem on December 29th, 2008 in and ·

The New Year is coming, and that means festivities that call for shiny, glittery extravagance. This week the gals here at Style[ology] will be writing about all that glitters.

As the self-proclaimed jewelry junkie, I’d like to show you a few things that will ensure you steal the spotlight that glitter on your neck, wrist and fingers.

NYE Jewelry

This $40 crescent moon pave necklace in a rhodium finish looks luxurious and fabulous - a la Jennifer Aniston. Ultra-thin, light, and affordable, the 1.5″ sparkle at your throat would look equally chic with a celeb-worthy LBD, or even at the collar of a cozy pointelle-knit cardigan. Crescent Moon Necklace $40 from PortiaJewelry.com.

Go all-out glam with this stunning necklace from Tom Binns. Featuring silver diamante clusters and multitudes of sparkling strands, this is a knock out of a necklace, fit for the most glam night of the year. At £680.21 its pricey but absolutely beautiful. Team with a fairly understated satin jewel tone cocktail dress to let the jewelry do the talking. Available at Net-a-porter.

Celebrate the queen of fashion that you are by wearing this Full Crown Necklace. At $27.00, you will look like royalty without spending a fortune. Available at LingerieDiva.

Wearing a turtleneck sweater or dress this New Year’s Eve? Then a pretty ring or a bracelet can add some sparkle to your evening. The first pictured is a 14K gold multi-color gemstones and diamond bangle bracelet that is expensive but tres-elegant. Avaiable for $4,687.00 at Amazon.com. The second bracelet is a rhinestone stretch bracelet with flower design, available for $$21.39 at LingerieDiva.

Add some intrigue to your hands by wearing a statement ring.

Choose Your Holiday Hairstyle on HairStyled.com

Posted by admin on December 16th, 2008 in ·

Social media meets salon with the launch of a new social network devoted to hairstyles and hair care. The free network, HairStyled.com, launched this week, just in time for members to browse, rate, and try on different hairdos before committing to a hairstyle for this year’s holiday parties.
 
Family visits, holiday parties, and even winter weddings are all quickly approaching. For many these events require a new, often formal, hairstyle. A new social network has just launched to help holiday party-goers choose the perfect hairdo before ever setting foot in a salon. The free site, HairStyled.com, allows users to share their favorite styles, look for new hairstyles, rate looks, get hair care and hair styling advice, and even try on new hairstyles virtually before committing to a new do with a stylist.

“The last thing someone wants before a big holiday party is to leave the salon with a hairstyle they’re not happy with.  It’s often a simple case of the customer not really knowing what styles work well with their face shape, or realizing later that they can’t easily maintain the new cut or style on their own. HairStyled.com is designed to help members avoid hair styling disasters before they happen. They can get feedback from other members after uploading images of their current hairdo, get hair care tips for maintaining styles before choosing one, and even try on hairstyles online to see if a style works well for their face shape before visiting their hairdresser.”

- Ashley Laurier, hairstylist consultant for HairStyled.com.
