Beyonce wearing Margo Manhattan Jewelry

Margo states, “From my background as a “theater baby” my jewelry designs have always been inspired by theatrical style, to me Beyonce is the ultimate style icon that fuses stardom and style to represent a statement. I love jewelry that speaks silently.”

Banana Republic Factory Store Holiday Campaign: Glimmering in Green

The Banana Republic brand has been one of my favorite retailers for a very long time.  Because I have a petite frame (with a certain amount of curves) their clothing fits me well without having to compromise my style.

When monogram.com contacted me to participate in their holiday campaign, I instantly began to think of concepts that would create a polished, sophisticated look.

I feel in love with the set below because the color green compliments all skin tones and matches perfectly with neutral pants.  This blouse also ties in the front, and the appropriate jewelry would be a classic layer necklace.

 

This look would not be complete without a pair of metal (Holly) aviator sunglasses.  I like to wear sunglasses year round to protect my eyes from the natural glare.

Lastly, because I am a super, bargain shopper I also purchased a red blouse to add some “holiday sparkle” to my wardrobe.

Although I have a beautiful wedding set (compliments of my husband) this ring is perfect for my right hand because it’s elegant while having a woven style and it’s also sterling silver.

I am the type of girl that likes simple elegance, so of course I had to visit the entire website.

BERRICLE.com has an wide array of jewelry from rings, earrings, necklaces, and accessories.  There’s enough of a variety for everyone depending on your individual style.

Personally, I encourage anyone who’s searching for quality, affordable jewelry to check out BERRICLE.com

Handbag Accessories: Take Your Purse from Drab to Fab {VIDEO}

Handbags are one of my favorite accessories.  I like having my items organized and in one place when it’s time head out.

But aside from having a beautiful designer purse, I also enjoy adding my personal style to bags with a few accessories.  It’s great to own several handbags (whether they’re designer, vintage, or just a good deal) but here’s a question, “are they enhancing your overall look or simply blending in with your trousers?”

The video below talks more about how we can add a special touch to our handbags while looking fabulous.  I hope it encourages everyone to place a charm, scarf, or have their initials stamped on their bag.

Tiffany & Co. New Website: Redesigned Site Showcases The Jewelers Renowned Heritage and Legendary Collections

New York, NY (October 21, 2013)—Tiffany & Co. announces the redesign of tiffany.com, a dynamic portal to the jeweler’s legendary collections, with interactive pathways to explore its celebrated heritage and prominence in the worlds of design, glamour and true love.

The new tiffany.com (#TiffanyNewSite and @TiffanyandCo) is designed as a personal invitation to visit Tiffany & Co. for a quick shopping trip or to explore the site’s many stories on the company’s milestones and masterpieces, as well as the beauty and excellence of Tiffany today. Stunning high-resolution visuals create a vivid environment, where users may customize searches by category, designer, price, materials and gemstones, with enhanced zoom capability and myriad views of jewelry on models and in videos.

The site’s new sections focus on Tiffany & Co. as founder of American luxury and its evolution as one of the world’s preeminent jewelers. Blue Book, the company’s collection of spectacular couture jewels, is showcased as never before. These rarest of creations, the pinnacle of the jeweler’s art, are illuminated with breathtaking imagery, including scenes from the Tiffany Workshop above the Fifth Avenue flagship store, where these extraordinary jewels are brought to life.

As the jeweler synonymous with diamonds and love, Tiffany expands the Engagement section with a wealth of information that leads users to the perfect ring. Services include a gemologist’s video and review of Tiffany’s quality standards that exceed the 4Cs, with clear distinctions as to cut, color, clarity and carat weight. The site also allows users to choose a ring, specify carat size and skin tone and view it on a model’s hand; or download Tiffany’s Engagement Ring Finder app (for iPhone®, iPad® and Android™), where they can select and share rings.

Diamonds are a key topic of Sustainability that highlights Tiffany’s standing as the industry leader in sourcing gemstones and precious metals only from mines who share the company’s core beliefs—protection of the environment, respect for human rights and support for the communities in which it does business.

The World of Tiffany looks at fashion and glamour from specific points of view: Tiffany Style has the inside story on the newest jewelry designs, sharing space with Tiffany designers (the ravishing jewels of Jean Schlumberger, the revolutionary creations of Elsa Peretti) and videos. The Latest goes global, covering celebrity culture, Tiffany diamonds on the red carpet and the excitement of opening Tiffany stores from Hong Kong to Paris.

In addition, the World of Tiffany covers The Tiffany Story, a timeline of the company’s history from its founding in 1837 in New York City, as well as What Makes Love True, with stories of real-life couples who recall—on film and in photographs—the thrill of it all.

This big-picture view of Tiffany & Co. also includes the pleasures of dining and entertaining at home. Through beautifully styled scenarios—a formal dinner, afternoon tea, holiday feast, wedding brunch—users may discover the world of Tiffany china, crystal, sterling silver flatware and accessories that define the art of living well.

Tiffany & Co. operates jewelry stores and manufactures products through its subsidiary corporations. Its principal subsidiary is Tiffany and Company.
