The new year is one of my favorite times because to me, it represents a new start, new energy, and new hope. 2011 seems a great opportunity to create new experiences - explore new places, learn a new language, make new friends.
The new year conveys a purity in spirit and nature, as white snow caps mountain ranges, then melts away into crystal clear lakes. This purity and freshness was the inspiration behind our chosen color palette for this season with crisp whites, shiny silvers, and soft blues.
Chan Luu wrap bracelets are so much fun to mix and match in endless color combinations. For this season, we've chosen to pair the Chan Luu Crystal Pearl Mix Wrap Bracelet set on metallic grey leather with the Chan Luu Crystal Combo CrystalAB and Silver Wrap Bracelet set on shimmery shell leather, for a look that beatifully captures twinkling lights and reflective colors. The white, blue, and silver combination seems a perfect tribute of the subtle colors in winter.
We love this Dogeared necklace because it reminds us to continually grow and learn because yes, life is all about the journey, not the destination. Let's make the most of it and cherish the wonders along the way.
Fiona Paxton designs the most original statement necklaces. Pain-sakingly handcrafted with a myriad of beads and metal chains, Fiona Paxton necklaces can transform a simple t-shirt into something amazing. Her pieces are a marvel in design and craftsmanship, which is no wonder why Fiona Paxton is much loved by celebrity A-listers including Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore, Hilary Duff, Isla Fisher, and Rihanna just to name a few! Fiona Paxton is one of our top picks for 2011 because we love the drama her pieces add to any outfit.
Cocktail rings are so easy to wear and pack a lot of bling. You don't have to worry about matching rings with your outfit, because anything goes. Wear them for special occasions or everyday; they look perfect in either setting. Kenneth Jay Lane, who is one of the most reknown designers through the years, creates stunning cocktail rings that are uber glamourous, yet timeless. Kenneth Jay Lane has, after all, been designing jewelry for the White House since the Kennedy administration. To own just a few Kenneth Jay Lane pieces is to live vicariously in the company of Jackie Kennedy, Madonna, Princess Di - all amazing women who made an incredible mark on the world at large, but not least of which on the fashion world in particular. Each Kenneth Jay Lane piece seems to carry with it a sense of nostalgia of old Hollywood glamour with his generous use of sparkly crystals and rhinestones. Although a modern day designer, Kenneth Jay Lane is already proving to be highly sought after by collectors.
A master in sterling silver jewelry design, Lois Hill creates timeless, classic pieces that will be as desirable now, as 20 years from now. There is a unique elegance about Lois Hill jewelry that transcends time. Lois Hill's signature cutout and granulation detailing reflect the intricate metal working that goes into each piece. We love her sterling silver pieces for the New Year because the polished, reflective metal surfaces is reminiscent of silvery winter nights and twinkling, moonlight stars.
What outfit would be complete without a spectacular handbag, and nobody creates handbags quite like Mary Frances. Her highly embellished bags are like little works of art - so many design details and components go into each bag. Our photos never do these bags justice because you can only truly appreciate all the little details by holding it in your hand. For the New Year, we've chosen Mary Frances Bag - White Dahlia for its beautifully pure color palette consisting of crisp whites and creamy pearls and Mary Frances Bag - 20th Anniversary for its gilded construction, sparkly crystals, and luminous, baroque-shaped dangle fringe.
Tarina Tarantino, otherwise known as the queen of sparkle, is perfect for increasing your sparkle factor this year. In keeping with our subtle color theme, we've chosen a few pieces that look amazing together: Tarina Tarantino City Girl L.A. Mod Ring - S, Tarina Tarantino Classic 3 Row Lucite Choker Necklace - Black Diamond, and Tarina Tarantino Classic Lucite Dangle Earrings - BD, which by the way, has also been spotted on Ms. Paris Hilton. These pieces have such a wonderfully neutral color combination that makes them so versatile and easy to wear. A Los Angeles staple, Tarina Tarantino jewelry has an appeal that far out stretches the west coast. After all, you don't have to live in L.A. to have a L.A. state of mind - independent, hip, and most important of all, fun!
Our Vintage Button Jewelry wonderously captures all the iridescence and shimmer of this time of the year. Made from actual vintage buttons from the Victorian era to the 1960's and set in Mexican sterling silver, our vintage button bracelets are a little piece of history beautifully transformed into a very wearable piece of art. Each vintage button bracelet is a one-of-a-kind piece, which adds to the truly unique nature of these pieces.
