Daily Bling - Monday, October 25

Let me just tell you the AWESOME-NESS that is Kara Ross. When Kara Ross, jewelry designer extradorniaire, goes on sale on Gilt Groupe, you run, not walk, to the closest computer and sign on immediately!

In a time when so many designers looks are boring, typical or tired, Kara Ross continues to design modern, unique and striking designs that can truly live up to the phrase "statement piece." Case in point? Today's super cool daily bling - a clear resin cuff with 14k yellow gold plated brass and resin detailing. Be your own wonder women in the urban jungle with this dynamite cuff that will be sure pull together any outfit and make it memorable.

Kara Ross is on Gilt now, so get of there and tell us what you scoop up!

The Daily Bling - Tuesday, July 13

We came across the NYC based designer, Flutter by Jill Golden recently and was reminded again why we love her designs so much via a Gilt Groupe sale this week. Although today's Daily Bling is not part of the sale, you should definitely head over there as many other gems from the line are seriously discounted.

Today's Bling the Sollar Tan Bracelet from the Mallorca Colletcion, is a gorgeous cornucopia of pastel and jeweltone gemstons strung together on a gold plated chain and Greek leather cord. Some of our favorite stones including citrine, blue topaz, amethyst, pink topaz and peridot are gorgeously woven together for a result that just may be one of the best bracelets we've seen in a while.

Flutter by Jill Golden at a variety of upscale boutiques and online. The Sollar Tan Bracelet retails for $150.

Daily Bling - Friday, June 18

We love this purple wooden beaded necklace by NY-based designer Cara Couture currently on sale at Gilt Groupe. The bohemian style statement necklace features multi-strands of purple-painted wooden beads with gold-plated beads and detailing. We think this piece is the ultimate summer go-to and would make a fab. edition for your by-the-beach wardrobe this season.

The tribal trend is huge for summer and this necklace makes the perfect finishing touch to this look. We'd love to see this actually worn on the beach with a solid colored maxi dress (we are thinking it offset a turqoise look perfectly) or bopping around town with a hippie linen tunic, jean shorts and wooden wedges.

This Cara Couture gem is currently on sale at Gilt Groupe for the VERY reasonable price of $38, so scoop it up while its hot!

Daily Bling - Monday, June 7

We had to pick today's daily bling because it reminds us so much of a pink quartz druzy stone necklace that we are constantly getting compliments on and unfortunately can't ever recommend anyone to buy because it was purchased from a no-name designer at Fred Segal that doesn't have a web prescence at all (we are still in the process of trying to track the designer down we promise!)

In the meantime, the second best thing would be this absolutely beautiful piece by Alanna Bess who is currently on sale at Gilt Groupe now. We love the juxtaposition of the hot pink gemstone, gray jasper druzy stone and little piece sign all on this beautiful gold antique chain. The piece has a happy quality to it which we think makes it the perfect summer splurge.

Check this piece out and all of Alanna Bess' fab. jewelry on Gilt Groupe today.

Daily Bling - Friday, June 4

We choose this fabulous geometric turqoiuse ring for 2 reasons. First off, its on sale at Gilt Groupe right now and one of the most unique rings we have seen in a long time (we are sorta sick of the two finger ring trend at this point ladies). Second, in honor of last night's season finale of the Real Housewives of NY we thought we'd choose a fab. piece of southwestern-inspired jewelry ala the Countess Luann Delesseps!

If you read this blog then you know we have been inspired by Luann's jewelry and accessories-savvy all season long (her singing ability? not so much...). The gorg. Kara by Kara Ross Ring is 14K Gold with turqoiuse hexagon stones that measure about 1.5 length when grouped together. We think this is a true statement piece fit for the Countess herself!

What's better is that Kara by Kara Ross is on sale now at Gilt! You can pick up this gorg ring there now for $90, that's down 50%! After all money can't buy you class....

The Daily Bling - Thursday, April 22

I'm back from St. Lucia and in a much more laid-back, summer state of mind! This new found vibe transitions me to today's exquisite, oceanic daily bling which I lusted over during some "online window shopping" at Gilt Groupe's Kevia sale yesterday.

Kevia is known for their gorgeous gold "lace" detailing, beautiful use of gemstones, and African inspiration and we are just in love with this line! Kevia Jewelry's sale on Gilt Groupe is still live and we highly recommend you check it out. We just love the delicate gold and gemstone artistry of the pieces. The Blue Topez Ring just got sold out unfort. but if you love it you must check out their other blue topez and gold jewelry! All the pieces (including a gorgeous matching necklace and earrings btw) reminds me of the crystal clear blue of a cloudless summer sky or the beautiful waves of the Caribbean sea. Both myself and my coworker couldn't resist picking up one of their beautiful cocktail rings and if you check out their sale I think you will see why!

If you just must have this ring also check out Kevia's website for more info on the line and where to buy.

On a side note a very special shoot out to my mom (and devout BBB reader) for her birthday today! Love you mom!

Fashionably Yours,

The Daily Bling - Saturday, March 6th

Talk about a statement necklace! We fell in love with today's daily bling upon scoping out this week's Gilt Groupe accessory sales. We were excited to see Devon Leigh on Gilt because we love her use of gemstones and "druzy" stones or the look of an unfinished, in the rough stone with tiny crystals on it that we are seeing make a come back in jewelry.

The Geode Agate Druzy Stone Necklace is on sale at Gilt Groupe now for $325, about half of its original price. The Druzy Agate is featured on a 16 inch gold chain and even the chain itself is beautiful. The stone measures 2 inches and we think this piece would make the ultimate conversation starter where ever you go. We also think this piece would make a good investment because its virtually "seasonless" and easily transitions your wardrobe from winter to summer.

Normally Devon Leigh's jewelry is way out of our price range, but if you are looking for a special piece make sure to check out the Gilt Groupe sale before it ends Monday at noon.

Fashionably Yours,

H
