Sparkle Like The Stars

Beyonce is looking as beautiful as ever during her performance at the American Music Awards. That girl has got some serious bounce! Check out those kicks too - they’re like drag queen shoes! It’s great how she puts on a real show.

She’s all glittery here in a dress that’s striped with gold and silver sparkles. It’s got a kind of retro 80s influence with the stripes and halter top. A dress like that is begging for one thing - two tone gold jewelry!

In these 14K white and yellow gold hoop earrings the two tones of gold combine in a way that’s fun, fun, FUN! Striped like Beyonce’s dress, these earrings paired with the right outfit can have a very 80s look - which is hot again! Just throw on some Vans, leg warmers, and whatever is new at American Apparel and you’re ready for a great night out.

Halle Berry stepped out with Gabriel Aubry to Hennessey Cognac’s private tasting party held at Cafe Fuego in NYC. Don’t the both look fabulous?! Gabriel looks so sexy with his relaxed suit and scruffy face. Halle on the other hand has on a dramatic, plunging dress that really shows off her stuff. I am not sure I am loving the shirt/coat thing she has on top of her dress though. It looks like and after-thought or that she forgot to pack something stylish and warm on her trip to NY.

Halle is sporting a lovely diamond pendant that you can see peaking out from behind that yucky shirt-jacket thing. Diamond pendants are a great way to add sparkle to any outfit. They really are a wardrobe staple.

For just $150, you can add a little diamond sparkle just like Halle. This lovely 1/10 carat diamond heart pendant in 14K white gold is a perfect starter piece. The artistic, heart is accented with four beautiful diamonds. This pendant would make a perfect Christmas gift or birthday present!

Apparently Brooke Shields and Tom Cruise have buried the hatchet as far as their public argument regarding depression. Brooke showed up in Italy to attend the wedding for Tom and Katie Holmes. She was just one of the many stars that made an appearance in the small lakeside town of Bracciano, Italy.

Brooke is sporting a sparkly multi-stone diamond ring that has a light and lacy feeling - perfect for a wedding! It’s a great way to make a bold statement without having to wear a truck load of expensive stones.

You can get a similar look with this dramatic and graceful 4-stone diamond 14K white gold ring. For just $125 this ring gives you the light and airy look that Brooke enjoys. The artistic and flowing design allows you to pair this ring with fun and funky clothes, while the classic diamonds suit even more conservative attire.

Mirroring the image in the promotional posters for her new movie Volver, Penelope Cruz turned up to a screening in New York recently wearing fabulous yellow gold hoop earrings. Big hoops are a great solution if you have loads of luscious locks like Penelope. They don’t seem so big because of her big hair. If you’re going for a glamor do, big earrings are the way to go.

You probably already own a great pair of yellow gold hoops (If you don’t, what are you waiting for?!) but you definitely don’t have ones like these 14K yellow gold hoops! Polished gold is shaped into an organic spiral to create a gorgeously modern twist on the classic gold hoop. You can add a little individuality to your wardrobe with these earrings for just $175.

I love Brittany Murphy. Ever since being the new kid at school in Clueless, she’s had a little place in my heart. I particualy like her performance in that movie with that annoying little girl and Heather Locklear. What was it called?! Anyway, Brittany’s been a busy girl and has been working on several project including Dead Girl, Love and Other Disasters, and The Groomsmen. She’s also got an on-going gig on The King of the Hill!

In this photo she’s all done up for a cocktail party celebrating the opening of the Carolina Herrera Los Angeles boutique. Orange is a hard color for anyone to wear but Brittany seems to pull it together. She’s got to be careful though because with her white skin and bright red lipstick she can end up looking like Gwen Stefani. Not that that’s a bad thing - but I am sure Brittany wants to stand out on her own.

Her earrings are elegant and for a change this style is something everyone can afford! I found a style exactly like the ones Brittany is wearing for just $495. These 1/2 carat diamond earrings in 14K white gold are a fresh take on the classic diamond stud design. Round dazzling diamonds are haloed by twinkling accent stones in modern, sculpted settings of lustrous white gold. It’s a sophisticated look that is super versatile.

It might be news, but it’s no surprise that Britney Spears has filed for divorce from slouchy hubby Kevin Federline. There’s only so long that you can hang out with a washed up frat boy before it gets boring and you get dizzy from doing keg stands. I just hope that he maxed out Britney’s credit card recently and stocked up. It sounds like his gravy train is out of gas.

It’s a little sad when anyone breaks up and makes you reconsider your own relationship or lack of one - GRRRR! Anyway, to balance out all the divorce vibes in the air I wanted to put out some positive energy with my jewelry choice.

Here’s a classic lovey-dovey pick - a 14K yellow gold locket with a heart design on a beautiful chain. For some reason when I see lockets, it always makes me think of Annie. Anyway, necklace charms and lockets are really making a comeback. This timeless design is a great choice for just $110. Forward this blog post to the man in your life and he’ll get the hint. There’s also no reason why you can buy a locket for yourself. You can keep pictures of any special person close to your heart. My friend Sarah has pictures of her dog Trixie in her locket! It’s also a sentimental gift idea for the holidays, guys - HINT! HINT!

Stopping traffic in London’s Leicester Square, Scarlett Johansson is the ambassador of Hollywood glamor! She’s hitting the town for the British premiere of her latest project, The Prestige. Her look is interesting. Her make-up is great but what’s that hair color? Strawberry blond? The smoky eyes are sexy and I like the creme color of her gown. But the bust line of the gown kind of mushes the girls. I like the pleating though. Scarlett, what’s wrong with a little nail color for the red carpet?!

Her jewelry helps complete the classic Hollywood glamor look. You can get a bit of this glamor yourself for the very reasonable price of just $550. These 1/2 carat diamond three stone earrings in 14K white gold reflect the circle design found in the earrings that Scarlett is wearing. However, these earrings are more versatile that her red carpet baubles. These beauties are the perfect choice for adding sparkle to an office suit or a little black dress.

Eva Green, star of the new James Bond film Casino Royale, sparkles at a press conference in Copenhagen. Her delicate porcelain doll features are enhanced by the elegant drop earrings she’s wearing. They’re graceful and classy.

For just $150, you can get a similar look with these beautiful green amethyst and diamond earrings in 14K white gold. The clear, brilliant green of the amethyst is a wonderful, fresh look. The floral motif of the white gold setting is feminine and dazzles with diamond accents.

Teri Hatcher, star of Deperate Housewives, flaunts a fabulous and huge amethyst ring. This lady knows the meaning of bling. It’s the second time I’ve featured her in the Bling Finger series.

The beauty of amethyst is perfect for a bling ring. This gem is very reasonably priced and is appropriate for year-round wear. It’s regal, classy and at lot of fun bling-sized!

You can get a similar look with this beautiful 13 carat Rose de France and diamond ring in 14K white gold for just $495. A member of the amethyst family, Rose de France is known for its pale lilac color and exquisite clarity. This ring is a stunning piece and will one of your favorites!
