Sparkle Like The Stars

British actress Julie Christie stepped out on the red carpet wearing WHAT???? What are those things are her hands and arms?! I think she was trying for a twist on evening gloves but it just looks like her hands got stuck trying to turn her pantyhose inside out! Why do they go so high up on her arms? It looks like she’s ready to do product testing for OFF or some other kind of bug repellent. Maybe she was ready for a stint on Survivor. Her shoes - awful too! UGH!

Whatever the case with her gloves, I do love the color of her dress. She got caught up in this year’s color sensation - RED! And good for her! I mean, be bold with color, ladies! Her jewelry IS fun but isn’t the right color or design for this dress. So all it all, this outfit is all and all a complete bomb. I mean it’s like she went through her closet and picked out the most random pieces she could find. Or maybe they lost her luggage and all the shops were closed. Maybe she’s blind. Maybe she was high. Who knows?!?!?

If you’re looking for something red and classy try this Sterling Silver Two-Tone Red Agate Necklace for just $125. The unmistakable luster of cool sterling silver is on gorgeous display in this festive necklace. Red 12mm to 16mm agate beads are gracefully suspended from delicate silver chain. It’s a great look for daily wear but would be good for more festive occasions as well.

Full disclosure: no one was classier than Audrey Hepburn. She had a special brand of beauty and an seemingly effortless style of acting that, combined with her impeccable taste (she is the reason the Little Black Dress even exists) has made her one of the foremost style icons of classic cinema. In addition to being an amazing star, Hepburn was also just awesome in general: she survived the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, and raised money for the Dutch Resistance by putting on secret ballet shows. Later in life, she was known for her extensive humanitarian work with hungry children, and multiple humanitarian awards are given in her honor. All this is, of course, in addition to Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and other classic films.

The war is over and the films are made, but you can still get Audrey’s looks from this classic photo with these white gold heart earrings with diamond accents. These earrings are a modern take on the ones Audrey wears in the famous photo: simpler, but retaining the charming heart shape close to the ear. Buy yourself a piece of Hollywood magic today for only $85.

A lot of people seem to be watching “The Tudors.” For a long time, I wasn’t, because I read synopsis of the story and the history is just awful. A lot of those events didn’t really… happen, and it horrified my little associate’s degree in history mind. Then, one night, I caught it while nothing else was on, and I was reminded of one of the great universal truths of our time.

No one is, has been, or ever will be as beautiful as Johnathan Rhys Meyers.

They could do anything to the history. Henry VIII wins World War Two with the help of Pam Grier? Fine. Eighteen wives instead of six? Sure. Six wives, but all at once. Whatever. I don’t care. Anything that keeps him on television is not only fine with me, but essential to my future health and well-being. Look at this picture. Isn’t he cute, even when startled? I like to think that he’s suddenly realized that the love of his live is from a small town in Louisiana and writes a celebrity jewelry blog.

Speaking of jewelry, while I don’t ordinarily approve of Johnathan Rhys Meyers putting things on, I like his ring here, and not just because it’s on him, although that doesn’t hurt. Johnathan Rhys Meyers doesn’t wear much jewelry, ordinarily, but here this helps jazz up an outfit on the casual side of formal. I feel like it can be considered almost a man’s cocktail ring. You can get a similar look (to the ring; if you find a way to look like him in general, tell me) with this polished and brushed 14-carat white gold and diamond ring. The contrast of polished and brushed metal is always a suave look, and diamonds always add a touch of class. Wear it to your next awards gala for $350.

Hey, y’all. Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I had to go back to Louisiana for a few weeks. Brit-Brit’s momma needed someone to watch the cats while she tried to iron out her daughter. (Good luck.) Anyway, I get back, and what do I learn?

Pete Doherty has converted to Scientology. Oof.

Seriously, was he not enough of a mess? I have never seen a picture of him where he didn’t look just greasy to the touch. Now he’s going to use science to worship aliens? Really? I don’t understand the world anymore. I thought they were all anti-drug and anti-Tylenol and anti-fun. What is he gonna do?

This reminds me of the old conversation my friends and I used to have. In a parallel world, where Pete Doherty is sober, could he be attractive? It can’t happen on our planet, I know, but sometimes I like to look at a picture of him and wonder. Like this one. See? He’s standing. His skin has had some oil scraped off. Village People hat notwithstanding, couldn’t you see it? Maybe? If he were a little less English?

Anyway, his (top) necklace looks nice. I don’t know what’s up with that lower pendant - it looks like a failed knot-tying badge - but the silver chain necklace with the low/open collar is a classic look and a great way to combine classy with casual. It’s jewelry without looking like The Decorated Man. You can achieve this look without heroin with this 22-inch sterling silver figaro chain. It’s a simple, stylish look that you can dress up or down, and a great gift - even for yourself! - at $75.

Stacy London, star of television’s “What Not to Wear”, turns herself out in a fabulous chocolaty brown gown. It’s tres elegant but kind of reminds me of a night gown - sorry Stacy!

Stacy completes the look with a lovely pendant.
