Jewelry For Coffee Cups…and Wrists

Check out this functional fashion design from Canada.

I love coffee, and I always feel bad when I don’t reuse or recycle my java jacket. I always try to remember to bring my old java jacket, but I often forget it after changing purses or leaving it in the car…

Fall/Winter 2008-09 Jewelry Trend: Stunning Necklaces

There’s no question that this season statement jewelry pieces are in.  One of the major trends is eye-catching necklaces.  Whether gold or silver, crystals or beads, stunning necklaces bring life to the now-popular structured dresses and menswear-inspired looks.  And these necklaces don’t have to cost a fortune - go for costume jewelry! 

Here are a few stunning necklaces that I’m drooling over:

 Wibbli necklace from Chico’s

This intricate, multi-textural pendant comes in bright gold metal with epoxy inlay.  This is the perfect piece to add to your fall wardrobe.

Price: $44.00

Discount:  $20 off Your Merchandise Purchase of $80 or more at Chicos.com…

Picking a Statement Piece of Jewelry

According to Stylelist, giant gemstones are making a huge comeback this fall.  When buying a statement piece of jewelry, think big, bold and bright.  Wear these statement pieces with everything from glamorous evening wear to jeans and tee shirts.  While some pieces of jewelry can have rather lofty price tags, if you browse costume jewelry you can find the look for less.

 

Glam Square Necklace, $20.00 

Silver faceted stone cocktail ring, $96.99

 

Lenora Dame multi-cluster beaded hoop earrings, $36.99

This Season, Bling It On!

Here are a few of the must-have bejeweled pieces of the moment, according to www.style.com.  Many of the pieces are extremely expensive, but I’ve attempted to find cheaper jewelry alternatives so you can get a similar look for less.

Sparkling Summer Fruits

It is August and fall is on its way…but why not spend the last month of summer basking in summery fruits?  Feel delicious by wearing fruit-inspired jewelry, which you can actually wear year-round. 

Look sweet wearing this strawberry necklace by Forplay.  It is the perfect compliment to your clubwear for that night out on the town with the girls!

 I love this beaded fruit charm bracelet, made by Inedible Jewelry.  The bracelet has mango, watermelon, fig, grapes, orange, green accent beads and chocolate beads on the band.  Photo courtesy of Jessica & Susan Partain and Inedible Jewelry.

Inedible Jewelry also makes fun fruit earrings, including these orange slice earrings and these lemon slice stud earrings.

Fruit shaped rings are cute!  The ring below, and others, are available at http://www.ladyluckrulesok.com/.  What do you think of all of these pieces?
