Emmy's Red Carpet Recap

Overall I was pretty disappointed in the Emmy's Red Carpet looks this evening. Don't get me wrong, everyone looked stunning but just slightly boring. I mean all that black and navy... yawn!

There were a few ladies that stood out for me and because there were not too many "overall" looks I liked and this is an accessories blog afterall I break down my FAV. accessories looks from the show below. What do you think? Who was your fav?

1) Lea Michele in Lorraine Schwartz Statement Necklace and Oscar de la Renta Gown

2) Anna Paquin in Alexander McQueen and vintage bangles

* the dress I could do without but the modern mix of gold and stone bangles on both arms is hot and current look that you don't always see on the red carpet

3) Kim Kardashian in Lorraine Schwartz Woven Cuff and Marchesa Gown

5) Eva Longoria Parker in Loren Jewels Ruby Earrings and Robert Rodriquez Gown

Weekend Bling - 8/28 - 8/29

Today's Daily Bling is in honor of tomorrow night's Emmy Awards. Judith Leiber is undoubtedly the go to designer for the clutches we see all the starlets on the red carpet wearing season after season. Her unique crystal designs are loved by celebs and socialites alike and although these clutches are just a dream for us (they go from anywhere upwards of $1k) they certainly scream Hollywood drama.

We predict a young Hollywood star (Lea Michelle from Glee perhaps?) would rock something along the lines of this new "Deco Clutch" from Leiber herself tomorrow evening. The golden and black art deco crystal pattern is young and trendy but still classicly Judith Leiber and red carpet appropriate.

We will be live tweeting all of our favorite looks from the red carpet during tomorrow's red carpet at @HollyBerness so make sure to follow!

Daily Bling - Thursday, August 26

If you are a regular reader of BBB then you know how much I look forward to recieving the new J. Crew catalog every month. The September J. Crew catalog came through my mail on Monday and oh how luxe it is! I am getting really excited for Fall and this delivery made me even more excited!

I was pleased to see the increased amount of jewelry featured in September (as oppossed to the one page we get usually). My favorite trend featured? The luxe crystal necklaces strung on equally feminine materials like chiffon, and woven, tasseled cotton. Most of these necklace were pretty pricey ($100+) but this little lovely is much more affordable at $55. A steal for the style if you ask us!

Check today's bling and all of J.Crew's beautiful pieces for Fall and let us know what you are lusting after.

I'm love, love, lovin' these edgy-chic Vixen "drop-studs" (I think I may be coining the term for the mix of studs and drops that these lovely earring are) by CC Skye. The perfect piece to add some Fall edge and savvy to your wardrobe, the Vixen earring is just so HOT, don't you think?

We think these elonged 18k gold studs would look fabulous with a black tie look for an Autumn Soiree (we are picturing them as the perfect partner to a black backless gown - maybe on Anna Paquin at the Emmy's?) but they would look equally fab with jeans, motorcycle-style boots and a burn-out tee.

The CC Skye Vixen Earrings are $100 and available at ShopBop.

Fall Trends 2010: In The Military

I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad to say this, but it's inevitable. Fall is right around the corner! Every Monday for the rest of August and early September I'll be starting a new series on the blog called "Fall Trends Report 2010." Regardless of not wanting to give up the beach or the pool, I am pretty excited for some Fall fashion.

One of my favorite trends of the season is the military look. Combat boots (heeled or flat) and camo are both making comebacks the season. How do you soften the look so its not too hard or edgy? With feminine materials like silk and soft cotton and pretty gemstone jewelry.

In the Military Breakdown:

• Madewell Sandwashed Silk Tank in Grey/ $68
• Michael Michael Kors Charlton Cross Body Bag in Black/ $128
• J. Crew Femme Camo Delancy Skinny Pant (one of my newly acquired fav. pieces of the season)/ $79.50
• J. Crew Fenton/Fallon Jaws Necklace/ $135
• Steve Madden Commbat Boots/ $99.50

I recently discovered Miriam Salat's gorgeous bohemian inspired jewelry on Gilt Groupe (sale ended yesterday if you missed it but knowing Gilt I'm sure she'll be back again) and sorta fell in love. I wanted to find out more about the line so I googled, and to my pleasant surprise found out the queen of bochic had a line for HSN as well. Affordable costume jewlery from a reputable and renowned designer? What could be better!

My favorite item from the HSN collection is this pretty, feminine Starburst ring. It reminds me of the embellished resin cuffs and rings she features in her couture collection which makes it even more of a style steal. This ultimate statement ring is truly fit for Hollywood's ultimate boho gals. I mean can't you just picture Nicole Richie or Vanessa Hudgens rocking this with lots of bangles and a flirty, shimmering evening frock on a red carpet?

This must-have from Miriam's line is only $50 on HSN.com and as always there is easy-pay. Yep, you can thank me later for this super chic find! :)

Every woman deserves to be a queen, right? Well, with this adorable ring from Rachel Rachel Roy, you certainly can be. From Rachel's new Fall 2010 line, the "crown" ring makes a pretty, feminine edition to any Fall look.

Antique gold and Swarovski-crystalled, the ring is sweet and fun without being overly "girly." It's a great go-to piece to wear everyday - from work to play!

The crown ring is available for pre-order, amongst other great new Rachel Rachel Roy styles, on her website now for $40.
