The Daily Bling - Wednesday, March 31st



We have a confession... we love the new 90210! Its probably one of our favorite teen dramas on the air right now (after Glee of course). We love all the girls' styles but we are especially a fan of Silver's! A litttle edgy, a little rocker, and still fem Silver flirts with the line between "alternative girl/popular girl" to a tee.

Today's Daily Bling is a little gem we spotted on Silver in the first half of the episode (can be sorta seen above). We headed over to CWTV.com's "Shop the Show" to find out what it was immediately. Unfortunately, we didn't spot the bracelet on the site but we did find out that Silver rocks a lot of Ben Amun and Alex and Chloe jewelry on the show. We did our best to find a bracelet that looks' like Silver's stunner and we think you will like, the American Retro Keith Bracelet, below.


Inspired by Silver's silver, the American Retro Keith Bracelet is alittle "menswear" in style with its large leather silver beading and croc-embossed leather band. It gives your look that little "hipster girl" edge that Silver pulls off so well. It's available at ShopBop.com and is at the very affordable price of $69.

The Daily Bling - Tuesday, March 30th

Padma Lakshmi - best known as Top Chef Host and Indian Beauty - debuted her new Spring 2010 jewelry collection this week at Bergdorf Goodman. Padma's line called "Padma" is inspired by her indian culture and western upbringing. The jewelry is delicate and gold in most cases and features beautiful gemstones in vibrant shades such as red, pink, green, and yellow.

Our favorite piece from her Spring Collection, and our daily bling today, is The Midnight Multi Gem Fringe Strand earrings.


We love how delicate and feminine the gemstones are on these stunners but how the earrings also really make a statement. We love the color combination of various cool tone pink, purple and blue gemstones. We love that the fringe goes 3 inches long - that's right 3 inches or gorgeousness in gemstones hanging from your ears. These are the perfect style to wear with long flowy hair look because they will still stand out OR with your hair pulled back in a pony if you really looking to make an impact.

These are definitly an "inspiration" piece for us because at $1,135 they just dont fit into our budget. Will be looking for a costume version soon to wear all summer long!

The Daily Bling - Monday, March 29th

We love Banana Republic's jewelry collection for its vintage appeal. I am constantly getting compliments on my BR statement necklaces and woven clasp bracelets from their Fall and Winter seasons. No one EVER thinks I got them at banana. Their new Spring Collection pieces are no different in their substantial quality and unique design.

Our favorite new piece is the Rain Shadow Bracelet. Its so sweet with its ribbon and lucite detailing but also a little edgy with its mixed metal and beaded woven strands. Its the perfect bracelet to wear with a neutral palette of beiges, blushes, and grays.

Banana Republic's Rain Shadow Bracelet is a no-brainer wardrobe-enhancer at only $39.

The Daily Bling - Sunday, March 28th


We finally got around to looking at the Saks Spring mailer this weekend (we were avoiding it as we were afraid we would want EVERYTHING in it and unfortunately this is pretty much the case). Of all the beautiful pieces we saw in the catalog the statement necklaces by Fiona Paxton stood out to us the most. They showed her heavy, embellished statement bib necklaces with all the looks in the catalog - the edgy, the feminine, the sleek, and the global.

We choose to feature the Fiona Paxton Draped Bib Necklace in Silver because we feel its the most wearable of the styles (although we are in love with the antique gold/coral version too). We love the lucite gems ands silver beaded detailing - its updated yet still has that "global chic" quality to it. It would work well with the edgier rock-star styles we are seeing or with a simple bandage dress for a more formal event.

Fiona Paxton's jewelry ain't cheap but we think everyone would be talking about your killer style if you invest in a piece like this. If you are looking for your "must have" piece of jewelry of the season, we don't think you'd regret grabbing this one. You can purchase today's bling for $400 at Saks Fifth Avenue online.

The Daily Bling - Saturday, March 27th


Nothing says statement ring like today's daily bling. The Ted Rossi Python and Chunky Jeweled ring is described as "adorned with large prong-set clear and amber crystals in different shapes atop a square ring with Python detailing. " Can we say hot?

This ring has a little bit of everything - a little bit of an edge, a little girly charm and a little sophistication. We love this look for a night out on the town with your friends with jeans and flowy jersey top.

We also love that the ring has adjustable sizing so you don't have to worry about picking a specific ring size or wanting to wear it on multiple fingers. (we could see this being worn on the ring, middle or pointer). It also makes getting this ring as a gift super easy!

You can scoop this Ted Rossi stunner at National Jean Company Online for $165.

Perfection in a Jumpsuit! Kelly Bensimon

O.M.G. you guys I am DYING over last night's episode of Real Housewives. And not because of the catfights but because of the fashion! The real highlight of the episode was not the crazy screaming match between Luann and Bethany as we thought it would be BUT was unassuming Kelly's gorg outfit at the Pamella Roland show. Take note of the hot look below. Not everyone can pull off a jumpsuit like Kelly can and she sure accessorized it to perfection.


Unfort. I can't find a full body image but as you can (sorta) see here, Kelly opted for bright colored accessorizes to make her silk grey jumpsuit pop. We loved the burnt orange pumps and layers and layers of sparkling and colorful enamel and gemstone bracelets. We also love how she embraced the big oversized silver hoops with that "70s/J.Lo" sort of inspired jumpsuit. She kept the neckace simple, which worked perfectly because of her statement bangles.

What do you guys think of her look?

Guys, we have a new obsession. Well something you should know about us first off is we have a SEVERE watch obsession. Our new fav. to add to the list?? The La Mer Collections Square Layer Gold Pyramid Stud Watch available for pick-up at Singer-22.

Never heard of La Mer Watches? We hadn't either. La Mer Collections’ focus is on classic watch faces designed exclusively by Martine Ilana, paired with beautiful leather straps. Their watches are globally inspired and retail from about $80 - 200. This little beauty which we are SERIOUSLY considering ordering, like now, is at the very reasonable price of $110. We will justify the purchase by telling ourselves we are not only getting a black watch (which we have been wanting) but we are also getting a really cool black studded leather wrap bracelet (which we also been wanting). You can't beat a two for one!!

Fashionably Yours,
