Celebrity Jewelry Style: Gwen Stefani

Part rock 'n roll, part retro Hollywood, Gwen Stefani knows her style and sticks to it. With her signature platinum locks and ever-present red lip, Gwen walks the line between edgy and classic, seamlessly blending the two into a look uniquely her own.

As for accessories, the hip momma-of-three favors stacks of chunky bracelets, retro sunglasses, and funky hats.

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Lucy Hale

Pretty Little Liars is my Guilty Little Pleasure. Can we talk about the season finale for a moment?! I don't want to spoil anything for those of you who are not yet caught up, BUT who they have us believing is 'A' when the episode ends is a little crazy/heartbreaking/shocking. I digress...

My favourite little liar is Aria played by Lucy Hale. She's the edgiest dresser of all of the girls and rocks some serious statement pieces. Let's take a look at Aria and Lucy's jewelry style below! (Hint: you're going to want to look for bold statement necklaces and edgy earrings.)

Do or Don't? Mismatched Wedding Band

Keira Knightly recently showed off her newly minted wedding band and it certainly was a surprise! While her engagement ring is set in platinum she chose a plain yellow gold wedding band. Mixing metals is common place today, but it's rare to see a wedding band set in different tones. Perhaps she'll start the newest wedding ring trend?
Would you do this for your everyday look? Or is it totally a don't for wedding and engagement rings?

MET Gala 2013 Jewelry Round-Up

The 2013 Metropolitan Museum's annual Costume Institute Gala - commonly known as the MET Gala - did not disappoint. The stars brought the glamour in their best fashion-forward attire and accessories all while feting the museum's "Punk: Chaos to Couture" theme.  

Most chose to pay homage to the punk rock theme with edgy gowns, safety pins, studded jackets, over the top ear cuffs, and ornate headpieces. I've rounded up the most noteworthy jewelry and accessories from the night. Did you have a favorite look?

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Rachel McAdams

First things first, how is it possible that Rachel McAdams looks amazing with every single hair colour? That's just not fair. Aside from seeming refreshingly humble, being a fellow Canadian, and a true style chameleon, Rachel has great accessorizing prowess. Never over doing it, and choosing pieces that fit beautifully with her attire, Rachel has a simple yet dramatic jewelry style. Playing off her ever-changing hair colour, she seems to choose retro glam earrings while blonde, edgier pieces (like stacked rings) while a redhead, and dramatic classics (such as a bold cocktail ring) as a brunette. When hair colour becomes your main accessory, everything else is just icing on the cake!

1. Robyn Rhodes Black Jade Ring, Max & Chloe  

2. Black Super T Ring, Max & Chloe

3. Arrowhead Ring, Max & Chloe

4. Gabriel Artigas Cigar band (layered up x 3!), Shopbop

5. Deepa Gurnani Earrings, Shopbop

6. Chandelier Earrings, ASOS

7. Crystal Earrings, ASOS

8. Stacked bangles, Mr. Kate 

9. HoH Sunburst Necklace, Shopbop

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Emma Stone

Style setter, hair chameleon, and hot actress, Emma Stone has a lot going for her. It girl du jour, Emma seems to have a new movie coming out every other week and we get to ogle her red carpet and promotional outfits from afar.

For her go-to look, Emma tends sweep back her lust-worthy locks and accent those doll-like features with statement earrings. Her other go-to accessory? An interesting necklace. Rarely opting for the dainty version, Emma chooses necklaces that are big and bold. See below for some Emma Stone jewelry inspiration and how you can get the look for less!

1. Hive & Honey, Multi Tier Fringe Pendant Necklace

2. Vanessa Mooney, The Amphitrite Earrings

3. Sabine, Beaded and Metal Triple Row Necklace

4. Vanessa Mooney, The Mesa Dangle Earrings

5. Sabine, Flower Cabachon Statement Necklace

6. Vanessa Mooney, The Stars of Crystal Earrings

7. Kate Spade, Field Day Statement Necklace

8. Deepa Gurnani, Embellished Chandelier Earrings

9. Hive & Honey, Gold Fan Statement Necklace

10. Ben-Amun, Turquoise Chandelier Earrings

Get the Look for Less: Poppy Delevingne

The always stylish Poppy Delevigne grabbed my attention with this girly meets rocker look. And the focal point of this outfit? Her showstopping necklace.

Her necklace is none other than Lulu Frost, which she paired with a Jonathan Saunders skirt, a yellow handbag, and a simple white tee!

Lulu Frost's Offshore Necklace.

Here's how you can get this same feminine edgy look for less!

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has an easy-breezy, laid back style that has earned her bagillions of loyal tween, teen, and adult followers. By day, the paparazzi catches her in loose tees, ripped jeans, and eclectic jewelry.  And for red carpet events she can be seen in the best dresses, blazers, and glitzy earrings.

If you're a fan of Selena's style I've rounded up the best of her jewelry and the most classic Selena pieces below. Whether she's on the red carpet or heading out for a casual sushi lunch, Selena always looks put together and comfortable. Enjoy the photos below of Selena Gomez's jewelry style and maybe you'll pic up a few more tips on your own! Here's a hint: For a Selena-esque look, opt for long necklaces, big earrings, and stacks of bracelets.

Celebrity Jewelry Style: January Jones

January Jones has an 'All-American' style when it comes to her jewelry choices. Choosing pieces that are reminiscent of the wild west and a little bit country, this gal favours turquoise stones, fringed tassels, and heavy hammered metal pieces. This actress also isn't afraid to take risks with headbands and hair pieces. I love that.

Celebrity Jewelry Style: The Olsen Twins

Every fashionista's favorite set of twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, are under our jewelry style microscope today. These two pint-sized moguls are ironically fashionable. With their center-parted blonde locks, signature sunglasses, and cutting edge fashions, they're always on the top (or bottom!) of someone's fashion list.

With the success of their fashion lines - The Row and Elizabeth and James - it's no shock that these sisters have ventured into jewelry design by adding edgy pieces to their Elizabeth and James line.

While Ashley tends to keep her jewelery a little more understated and classic, Mary-Kate likes to pile it on in excess.  Like opposing ends of the spectrum, these two balance each other out perfectly. Take a look at the photos below for more Olsen Twin jewelry inspiration!

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston has the classic west coast laid back look down.  With her tousled tresses, perfectly fitted jeans, and killer bod, it would be hard for her to look bad, even if she tried.  She keeps things simple sticking with neutral colors, tried and true silhouettes, and highlighted hair that is the envy of blondes everywhere.  Hollywood's Golden Girl also has a thing for gold.  She chooses dainty necklaces and gold bangles for daytime and chandelier earrings for the red carpet. See below for more laid back jewelry inspiration!

Get the look!

Red Carpet-Worthy Earrings: For a night out or a red carpet event, Jen loves her earrings. Look for long, dramatic pairs that will show even through your perfectly tousled waves. I've got my eye on:
1. Sabine / 2. Hive & Honey / 3. Kate Spade /

Gold Bangles: Jen loves layering thin gold bangles for a signature clean look. I love these ones from Piperlime: 1. Sabine / 2. Kate Spade / 3. Marc by Marc Jacobs / 4. Michael Kors / 5. Hive & Honey

Layered and Looped Necklaces: Jen has a unique take on necklace. She likes to layer multiple dainty chains or loop an extra long necklace around, creating a loop high on the neck and one dangling below the bust. I love this look. You could try it with these options: 1. Tasha / 2. Tory Burch / 3. Gorjana 

Do you like Jennifer Aniston's jewelry style?

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie is a true style chameleon. She does the bohemian look better than anyone else, looks effortlessly cool while rocker chick, and can look perfectly preppy.  Often seen wearing her own House of Harlow designs, this girl looks great with jewelry piled on or toned down.  One of the first to rock sequined headbands and hippy headpieces, Nicole is a true trendsetter.  I cant wait to see what she does next!

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Gwyneth Paltrow

Known for her classic, minimalist style, Gwyneth Paltrow prefers clean lines, sleek silhouettes, and and understated accessories. Everyone's favorite girl crush, Gwyneth undoubtedly has a style that effortlessly cool. Gwyneth accents her outfits will jewelry that tends to blend in and enhance her outfit, rather than choosing spotlight-stealing statement pieces. Interested in emulating her jewelry look? Get some inspiration below!

Alphabet Soup

There is no question that people love wearing personalized things. This is especially true when it comes to representing their initials. It's like giving away a little secret, "Hey, my name starts with 'A' and I love it. But that's all I'll tell you."

Then came the "baby initial trend" adding fuel to the initial's fire. Made popular by chic celebrity Moms like Nicole Richie and Katie Holmes who proudly donned their kid's initials after they were born, it is now quite common to wear your child's initial on a pendant. Jessica Simpson even wore an "M" pendant before baby Maxwell was born, giving a big hint about her baby's name and making baby stalkers drool. Celebrity Moms tend to favor Jennifer Meyer's Diamond Letter necklaces. Confession: I can totally see myself doing this when the time comes :)

And now, thanks to bloggers like Blair Eadie, monogrammed jewelry is totally in vogue. While traditionally reserved for fancy towels and robes, monograms have shaken off their stuffy vibe for one that is now decidedly cool.

My favorite alphabet jewelry below:

1. BaubleBar Acrylic Script Monogram 2. BaubleBar Custom Charm ring 3. Max & Chloe Large Monogram Necklace 4. Max & Chloe Signet ring 5. Catbird Alphabet earrings 6. Catbird Brass Alphabet Necklace/Bracelet 7. Jennifer Meyer Gold + Diamond Pendant necklace 8. Max & Chloe Type Writer Rings 9. Max & Chloe Dog Tag 10. Catbird Alphabet rings

Jewelry Round-Up: Best of the 2012 Emmys

Last night the Emmys were live and I was glued to my TV (with wine and Indian food) taking in all of the celebrity fashion and jewelry trends. There was a ton of color this year at the Emmys (think jewel tones like red, yellow, green and blue dresses) and the jewelry was equally dramatic.

The first and biggest trend of the night: statement earrings. The ladies rocked spectacular, bold, and glitzy earrings. Half of the lustworthy pairs were large studs reminiscent of the 80s (Sarah Hyland, Emily VanCamp, and Ginnifer Goodwin) and the other half were glamorous dangling earrings (Heidi Klum, Guiliana Rancic, and Juilianna Margulies).

The other Emmy jewelry trend on the red carpet was colorful, bold rings. I was so happy with all of the fun rings. We all know I love I good cocktail ring and last night had me swooning. And one of my favorite pieces of the night? Emily VanCamp's glitzy bow bracelet. Love. Noticeably absent? Necklaces.

How fun would it be to get all glammed-up for night like the Emmys? What would you wear?

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Jennifer Lopez

My friends know that I am a big Jennifer Lopez fan. There is just something inexplicable that I love about her. I could go on and on about her individual qualities (her voice, her nose, that glow, the hair...) but I'll spare you. Instead, let's talk about her style. One day she's a glamed-up diva, the next, Jenny-from-the-Block, and another day posh-office-chic.  She's a style chameleon. One thing that never changes? Her awesome accessories. Not matter what the style, she accessorizes like a pro adding just the right amount of sparkle.

The girl loves her earrings! I am going to use this photo collage as inspiration to wear earrings more often. Tell me, do you like Jennifer Lopez's jewelry style?

Do or Don't: Celebrity Jewelry Lines

Everything the Kardashians touch seems to turn to gold, and for Kim Kardashian’s jewelry line, Belle Noel, this is literally seems to be true. The jewelry line features modern and reasonably affordable statement necklaces, chunky bracelets, bold earrings, and cocktail rings.

But tell me, what do you think about celebrity fashion and jewelry lines? Does it make you want to wear an item more or less if it has a celebrity name attached to it? Would you wear Belle Noel?

In this instance, the celebrity name makes me want to wear it less. If I didn't know know Kim Kardashian was associated with Belle Noel, I'd be more likely to buy it. I am not sure why, seeing as I tune in weekly to Keeping Up With the Kardashians and seem to be quite entertained. I think she's hard working, pretty, and has good style. I also like the pieces. But a part of me would feel slightly embarrassed buying and wearing her jewelry. Can anyone relate?

Should I just get over it? If you think all things Kardashian are a 'Do' here are some great options from Shopbop:

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Kate Hudson

With her enviable blonde wavy hair, comfortable, free-flowing style, and megawatt smile, Kate Hudson is undoubtedly one of my style icons.  Kate has a knack for accessorizing. She often sports a fun, large statement ring, long bohemian necklaces, or flirty earrings.  Speaking to  Harper's BAZAAR Kate playfully highlighted her love of jewelry. "My bauble," she says, fishing it out of her roomy bag to spruce up her current ensemble of an Under Armour vest and Adidas sweatpants and running shoes. "There," she says, grinning. "Now I feel better." Don't we all feel a little better with that special piece of jewelry that somehow makes us feel unique and put together? Kate seems to have nailed the art of accessorizing and her special pieces of jewelry often become the focal point of her outfits. See below for Kate-spiration!

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth helped launch JewelMint, so it should be no surprise that she's into jewelry in a big way. And she has the accessorizing style to prove it! Have a look at the photos below for some major jewelry inspiration from this blonde beauty.

Kate's accessorizing rules:
1. Statement earrings are your best friend.
2. Vintage necklaces are your go-to for neck bling.
3. A cool statement ring is the best accessory when going for the minimalist look.
