Best of: The Golden Globes 2014

Ahhh award season is upon us! And Jolie Jouel is back once again to bring you the best jewelry looks from last night's Golden Globe Awards.

A few things of note: rocking one earring is still a thing (Emma Watson), earrings in general were the jewelry stars of the night, and a baby bump is still one of the best accessories you can have (Kerry Washington, Drew Barrymore, Olivia Wilde).

Who had your favourite look of the night? I loved new-comer and Aussie beauty Margot Robbie, the radiant Kate Beckinsale, and a sparkly and pregnant Olivia Wilde. Honorable mention to Amy Adams' long pendant and Rita's Wilson's mess of tangled necklaces.

2014: Year of the Horse Jewelry

A new year has rolled around and the Chinese Zodiac has dubbed 2014 the Year of the Horse. According to the zodiac, those born in the year of the horse are energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able. Sounds pretty good, right?

Here are my top choices for "Year of the Horse" jewelry. I am favoring the more subtle take on the horse trend with horseshoe jewelry. These horsey jewels would make the perfect gift for an expectant momma, anyone with a special year ahead, or those needing a little more good luck!

2. Piperlime Horseshoe Studs
3. Dogeared Horseshoe Wish Bracelet

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Pregnancy Edition!

To say I've got baby on the brain would be an understatement. She doesn't let me forget about her for too long, even if I tried. With her rolly-polly moves and cute little kicks, my little buddy is definitely making her presence known. Not to mention my ever-expanding waist-line that shocks me every morning when I catch my reflection in the mirror. My mission this weekend is to find a decent pair of maternity skinny jeans. I can't go on without them.

But what about jewelry style? Does this change or need to change as your belly grows? Well obviously it doesn't have to! But I love wearing longer necklaces with pendants to accentuate my bump. This would be my biggest shift in accessorizing since the appearance of the bump. I also think going necklace free and wearing dangly earrings or hoops is a super cool maternity look. And you can keep those arm parties coming. Baby probably likes the sound of those clinging and clanging bracelets and isn't around to pull on them - yet.

Here is a photo of a necklace I made to fill my need for longer pendants. It's a purple amethyst druzy hung on gold plated chain. I added two strands of smaller gold chain as an interesting detail. Also, as a side note, this is my first Instagram pic! Follow me here!


But enough about me, let's look to the celebs to see how they accessories during pregnancy. They always do it best, right?


Do you have any pregnancy style tips to share?

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

What's your favorite way to wear alphabet jewelry?

Maternity Jewelry: For the Expectant Mom

Baby bumps are becoming one of the most fashionable accessories a woman can have. Every website I visit seems to have one celebrity announcing their pregnancy and another stylishly dressing their baby bump. Celebs have definitely led the way to stylish dressing and accessorizing during pregnancy and women have followed suit! Gone are the days of hiding behind baggy sweatshirts. Fitted maxi dresses, trendy tunics, and skinny jeans are the new maternity wear.

One of the best ways to highlight your bump is with a bump skimming necklace! Take a cue from Jessica Alba and wear a long necklace to show off your bump. Wearing your impending bundle of joy's initial around your neck is another fun way to accessorize during pregnancy. And you can continue to wear your sweet charm once baby is born. My favorite choice from the bunch? The long bump skimming peanut necklace I found on anthropologie.com. The peanut charm will rest on your little peanut and subtly signal to nosey stranger that yes, you are in fact expecting.
