All That's Gold, Glitters

The glitz is back as celebs step out onto the red carpet in golden dresses and gowns adorned with sequins, jewel and fringe for the maximum glam. Emma Roberts stepped out in a gold leather Miu Miu dress with a beaded collar. At her Horrible Bosses premiere, Jennifer Anniston went with a shimmering Valentino Couture dress with glitter and sequin details, and at her show in New Jersey, Taylor Swift dressed as a modern-day flapper with a fringed mini-dress. Each one of these golden girls shone from head to toe.But you don't have to be a celeb to shine. We've just released a new, matte gold filigree collection of ornaments. Each one is filled with Swarovski crystals in multiple cuts, shapes and sizes for all over sparkle. Available now, exclusively online.

Prints Charming

What's in for summer? Adorable floral prints on fun, flirty, ruffles skirts and flowing sun dresses. Celebs are stepping out in brightly colored patterns large and small, and on Leighton Meester's Stella McCartney skirt (below) paired together.

This is a great summer look because it's feminine and sweet and can be dressed up with heels or dressed down with sandals. I think we'll see this evolve as the seasons change, with prints and patterns in deeper shades and longer dresses with the same tiered fabrics and ruffles.

Christmas in July. FREE KEYRING!

Bling it On

The stars sparkle on the red carpet in sequined gowns from rose gold to midnight blue. The gowns range from cocktail length to skirts with draping trains for all-over glitter. With dresses like these, the celebrities minimized their jewelry and carried small clutches because their gowns shine on their own.

This is a trend we're happy to see making headlines since we love to use glitter in our designs. Above is our silvertone glitter poodle with a rhinestone collarm, our silvertone diamond ring and one of our new glitter intitals with a silver glitter star charm. The beauty of glitter is it can add glamour and whimsy to a piece.

Appreciation for our Troops

Dave Rodgers, local RI native and former Navy SEAL, commented on the amount of skill and difficulty required in performing a successful mission such as this one. Although the names and identities of the highly secretive Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden will not be released, we can send them, and all of our troops serving overseas a hearty congratulations and thank you for their dedication and service.

Donations can be made to the Navy SEAL Foundation, benefitting U.S. Navy SEALs, SWCC, NSW Support Personnel, and their families.

Trend Flashback: Street Chic

From our 2009 Trend Intelligence Guide, making a resurgence in popular fashion!

Street Chic is a youthful fashion trend reminiscent of the late 80's when graffiti art hit mainstream and teens danced to boombox beats in the streets of New York. Combined with some of today's newer styles, fashions include skinny jeans with oversize hooded sweatshirts painted in grafitti are or in bright colors with neon blue, yellow and green piping.

From People magazine, celebs like Khloe Kardashain, Anna Kendrick and Cameron Diaz are going street chic in brightly colored jeans, a fun way to break out of the winter blues for summer.

White Hot

Who says you can't wear white before Memorial Day? The rules have changed. There are no rules! And celebs like Katrina Bowden and Busy Philipps are welcoming spring in fun, flirty, frilly white frocks.

White is a versatile hue that compliments a golden tan or fairer skin, brunettes and blonds, and provides a blank palette for accessorizing. What do you think? Who wears it best in this photo from Star magazine?
