Sparkle Like The Stars

Jenna Fischer flashed metallic tones on the red carpet at this year’s Emmy awards. I love her dress - although it looks like she needs to adjust it a bit. All those high waisted gowns make it look like you’re hiding a pudgy middle but it’s better than Britney exposing herself to the world. Gold is a classic and Jenna works it well.

Speaking of gold, check out these fabu 18K rose gold over sterling silver hoops by Andrea Barna. They’re just $85 and have a beautiful, gypsy style. This pair of earrings is perfect for all your outfits - from t’s and tank tops to modern ball gowns.

Jaime Pressly looked great in her sparkly black gown at the Emmy’s this year. I think that her face is a little weird in this picture but she’s still super cute. This shot makes me want to say, “Jaime, what big eyes you have!” Anyway, the black beads on her dress jogged my mind and I remembered where I saw a great black beaded necklace.

Check out this fabuLESS sterling silver black onyx bead drop necklace. For just 75 smackeroos you can get this beauty featuring hundreds of tiny onyx beads that appear in a gracefully cascading design. Expert crafting in lustrous sterling silver lends this piece a feeling of movement and intrigue. It is great for a night out or evening wear. It’s perfect for office parties where you have to be conservative but festive.

Sara Ramirez, star of Grey’s Anatomy, looks lovely on the red carpet in lavender. The little hip hole is a sexy and interesting touch. It adds a little sexy spice to an otherwise blah blah gown.
For a little lavender luxury yourself, try these fabulous 1 3/4 carat amethyst briolette and diamond earrings in 14K white gold. You won’t find a better deal anywhere on these incredible earrings. I found them for just $195!!!

These beauties feature rich, royal purple amethysts that add a flash of dramatic color to any outfit. The sleek, exquisitely crafted white gold settings are gorgeously illuminated with dazzling prong set diamonds and finished with vibrant amethyst briolettes.

Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh looks like a gangsta princess dripping in all her jewels. Now, I LOVE jewelry but all of that is a little too much for even me. I actually love the dress. The fabric looks really soft and sexy. My friends and I aren’t totally into the ruffled sleeves. I think that I counted four necklaces but there could be more. Look closely at the picture. There is one fabulous diamond necklace that’s closer to her neck. That would have been perfect by itself. It matches the elegant style of the dress. However, if you’re not a princess (aren’t we all though?) or a movie star, you might not have many chances to wear something like that.

The gold chain that she’s wearing is long and luxurious. The large links are stunning and really make a dramatic statement. You can get a similar look with this 14K yellow gold fancy cable necklace. This piece is for sale right now for $315. The woven links are expertly crafted and held tight with a secure lobster clasp. This chain is perfect with a blouse at work - think of that classic Chanel chain look. Classy!

Eva Longoria looked incredible the other night at the Emmys. She’s definitely one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses for a reason! She’s wearing an amazing diamond bracelet that would easily cost 10K or more. While this is out of reach for most of us, we can still get a similar look within any budget.

You can get the same lattice pattern idea as Eva’s bracelet with this 1/2 carat diamond 14K white gold bracelet for just $495. This criss-cross style is light and airy. It’s a perfect look for evening or every day wear.

If you like the openwork style of Eva’s bracelet but aren’t ready to put down hundreds of dollars, then this sterling silver openwork bangle is for you. You get the same carefree feeling as Eva’s diamond bracelet but you can really be happy because this piece is just $75! It would look great with any breezy summer skirt or even an elegant winter sweater.

Lots of people have been giving Will and Grace star Debra Messing great reviews on her Emmy outfit. I am not that in love with it. The whole ruffle thing reminds me of some kind of curtain or caterpillar cocoon. See the way the first top ruffle sits high and then makes a weird smiley scoop before the second ruffle. The way the ruffles puff out there and make horizontal lines isn’t doing anything for me or Debra either. Her hair and make up are good. I like the big gold bangles she picked out too.

Her dress is begging for a necklace. She could have picked form so many different styles - pearls, diamonds, opals. With her white dress as a canvas, so many things were available. Alas, she decided to be boring in a white sleeping bag with a train.

Nothing is more glamorous than diamonds. They are perfect for every occasion. This 5 carat diamond necklace in 14K white gold is a way for you to get true Hollywood sparkle in your own jewelry box. Debra would have done well to wear something like it on her trip down the red carpet. This is a classic piece that will never go out of style. It’s 5 carats of diamonds are a force of nature and make a dramatic statement.

A more budget friendly option for those of us who have starring roles in the boardroom, kitchen, and PTA is this lovely cultured freshwater rice pearl and diamond necklace in 14K white gold for just $95. I’ve been showing you how so many stars have been wearing pearls lately. They really never go out of style. This necklace is versatile but will look smashing with all of our white outfits - from suits to gowns.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as always, I am working my fanny off to bring you the hottest trends in jewelry straight for the red carpet at the Emmys! I’ll start off with a really fabulous example of Hollywood glamor and then we’ll more to the folks that really need to fire their stylist! Keep checking back over the next few days!

Lost star, Evangeline Lilly looks fabulous in this purple gown by Versace. It is beautiful and fits her perfectly! Even though Lost wasn’t even nominated for an award, Evangeline was a fashion winner at the Emmys! She wore a traditional diamond tennis bracelet but I think that she could have been a little more daring and partied with more purple.
This stunning lavender jade and amethyst pendant in sterling silver is a wonderful way to add romantic purple color to an outfit. It would have complemented Evangeline’s outfit perfectly especially with that low neckline. At just $95, this pendant doesn’t have a red carpet price.

Another great way to get a powerful punch of purple is with these marvelous amethyst and tanzanite earrings in sterling silver. At the remarkable low price of just $85, these earrings are ready for the red carpet or any occasion where you want to add glamor. These gems have a ton of sparkle are will really help you shine when it counts.

Supermodel Heidi Klum, pictured here at the Emmy Awards, was back on the red carpet just 100 hours after giving birth to her son! This supermodel might just have some other superhuman talents besides her million dollar bod. Hmmm. I wonder what she’s going to get for Mother’s Day!?

In any case, she looks like she’s having having an ok time in this spring fling insprired dress. She looks way comfortable. I hope she’s not wearing Birks. Those orange tones in her blush are doing anything for her though. It picks up the orange in her dress and just looks like some kid got crazy with the orange paint.

Love the bangle! It goes with the light and airy feeling of the dress. This sterling silver intertwined bangle will give your outfits that same carefree and flowing feeling. It’s big and bold, but very elegant.

Another way to get that spring feeling with bangles would be to combine two or three of these polished white gold bangles together. The wavy design echoes the flowy feeling of dresses like the one Heidi’s donning.
