The Daily Bling - Oscar Edition Day 4

Cameron Diaz was DEF. one of the best dressed at the Oscars this year. Her Oscar De Le Renta gown looked like something out of a chic fairytale and the golden metallic color complemented her gorgeous California Surfer Girl skin tone and blond locks like woah!

What we were most excited by though was her unexpected hoop earrings. We are so used to seeing our Tinseltown Oscar go-ers all blinged out, but instead Cameron decided to go with Cartier gold hoops with understated diamond pave details to complement her look.




The photo here doesn't totally do these earrings justice but here are all the dets. The beautifully crafted $49,500 Cartier Trinity hoops were made from white, yellow and rose gold and included diamond pavé detailing. We love, love, loooove these because they are hoops, because they are mixed metals, and because we don't normally see something so different on the red carpet. Cam also wore two Cartier cocktail rings - equally beautiful - but it was her unexpected hoops that really made her a stand-out for us!

The Daily Bling - Oscar Edition Day 3

We know, we know, we wanted Miley Cyrus to stand up straight too. But even though she slouched her way through the Oscars we think her look this year was really gorg and one of the best red carpet looks she has ever done. There, we said it!!

We loved her Jenny Packham dress because its young, on trend (looooove the bustier style) and has just the right amount sexy and bling (looooove the beading). But what we really loved about this look was the way she accessorized it! We are glad Miley went big and showcased two of the biggest trends in jewelry for the night - statement earrings and a diamond encrusted cuff. Note to Kristin Stewart: this is how you should have spiced up your Monique Lhuillier look.

First let's discuss the earrings. We love that she went with a floral look, because its young and really freshens up the look of her dress.We also LOVE the combo of the gold diamond crusted base with the red ruby center. This was the perfect way to add just the right touch of color to an otherwise beige look.

Second, there is this HAWT cuff! I mean really - we are basically drooling over this thing. Completly blinged out, thick and a little rock-n-roll (Miley is a singer after all) this cuff totally adds a little "danger" to her look without taking away from the femininity of the dress' silhouette. We love the piece that comes down, and almost snakes around her hand and we really, really love how her ruby antique-style cocktail ring and nail color tie the entire look together!

After an awards show that had many looking under-accessorized or over-accessorized we are glad to see Miley hitting the mark exactly right from dress, to jewels to even nails!

Spring Formal Wear Reinvited! Pink and Red Inspiration

Remember that really pretty and unexpected look we loved that Audrey Tautou rocked at the BAFTA's? The gorg pink dress with all red accessories? We never thought we'd love the way red and pink would look together so much until we saw her rock it and were reminded of it again when we were doing some "online window shopping" the other night on ShopBop.com and came across this awesome Rebecca Minkoff Pink Studded Clutch.

We know alot of girls out there are starting to think about Spring weddings, formals, and Prom. Taking a cue from Audrey's BAFTA look and drawing inspiration from the Rebecca Minkoff Clutch we thought - wouldnt this clutch look awesome with a red cocktail dress for these sort of upcoming events? Here are ideas of how you can bring this look to life for Spring social events. How chic!

Here is the breakdown:

• Look #1: Rebecca Taylor Zip Front Dress
• Look #2: Juicy Couture Strapless Dress
• Look #3: Laila Azhar One Shoulder Cascade Dress
• Look #4: Alice and Oliva Andrea Bustier Dress

The dresses and clutch are all available at ShopBop. On a side note, we just had to note that the clutch would also work just as nice with jeans and more dressy top for a night out with friends.

What do you think of these red and pink looks? Would you rock a similar style for your Spring social events?

The Daily Bling - Oscar Edition Day 2

As Randy from American Idol would say Amanda Seyfried's look was "just okay for me". The dress, although a gorg Armani Prive, just seemed like too much for her small frame, and I think her hair slicked back didnt help much. That being said, she still looked beautiful and fresh.

On to the good. The real good! Her layer and layers of Lorraine Schwartz bangles were chic, a little edgy and young - just like she is.

We loved the layer of three mixed metals and colored diamond/gemstone details on each of the bangles and think this is definitely a fun look you could recreate at home easily with costume jewelry pieces. We are definitely going to try this look the next time we go out out with our girls but also think this could be equally chic for a black tie occasion ala Amanda here.

The Daily Bling - Oscars Edition Day 1

For this week's daily bling we are doing something alittle different! Every day we will feature one of our favorite Oscar's jewelry looks. The chick who stood out the most for her accessorization that we choose to feature her on day one? Best Actress Nominee Carey Mulligan in Prada with Fred Leighton jewels!

The gorgeous and talented stylist to the stars (and an old work friend of ours many moons ago) Nicole Chavez styled Carey and we love how she made her look as young and fresh as she is! When so many of the younger stars tend to go for a more a mature, serious look for the Oscars, Carey kept it young and on-trend in her whimsical Prada gown with Swarovski encrusted detailing and to-the-shoulder diamond sparklers by Fred Leighton! We love that Carey took a risk with bold jewelry while staying on trend sporting one of the key trends of the night - statement earrings! The huge earrings off-set her pixie cut in a good way and all together the look is young and fun!

PS: In case your wondering those FAB shoes and clutch are also Prada :)

Oscars 2010 Red Carpet Hits

I have been live tweeting during the red carpet but in case you don't have twitter, I wanted to share a quick post to wrap up my fav. trends and celeb looks on the red carpet this year!

Statement Earrings and Blingy, Layered Cuffs were the accessory trends of the night. We loved Rachel McAdams earrings, Miley's earring/cuff combo, Amanda Seyfried and SJP's cuffs to name a few.

Another huge trend we saw was pinks and berry hues. We loved Vera Farmiga (Up in The Air) in her berry Marchesa gown with complementing oversized pearl earrings. In the blush category - our fav. color for Spring and a huge red carpet trend - we loved Anna Kendrick in Elie Saab, also from Up in The Air. We also loved J. Lo's light metallic pink Armani Prive gown - she described it as having the WOW factor and we definitely agree!

We will have more Oscar red carpet coverage this week so make sure to check back!!
