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.

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?

Do or Don't: Faux Multiple Piercings

When all of my friends were getting 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th (...) holes punched in their ears in high school I was always too timid or unsure enough to commit another wee puncture. Now when I see people rocking numerous earrings and connecting their studs with chains and fun ear cuffs, I am at times a little jealous. My lobes go bare most days, so it's probably a good thing that I only got the one piercing, but a small part of me wishes I had the option to create a fun ear-stack. Has that term been used before? Ear stack? I like it.

When I saw this floating earring by Anita Ko, I wondered if this could be the solution to my fickle ear piecing woes. I could keep the one small hole in my lobe but get the effect of multiple piercings. Genius! Now if only we could do something about that price tag...

What do you think about the floating faux pierced look? Is it a do or a don't? Have you seen any more affordable alternatives that give the same look?

Best Of: Jewelry from the Golden Globes 2013

The Golden Globes were last night and there was no shortage of colour, sparkle, and glam on the red carpet.  Red was the popular gown colour of choice, there was loads of lace, and earrings were front and centre.

In the jewelry category my favorites were: Megan Fox's long pink earrings, Kate Hudson's melange of Jennifer Meyer rings, and Jessica Alba's sparkly Harry Winston necklace.  And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Sienna Miller rocking the one earring trend! Actually, she had three earrings on one ear, but her other ear was completely bare. This trend is crossing over to the red carpet folks!

Do or Don't? Ball to Chain to Ear Cuff

I spotted the ear cuff trend back in September (here) and have been wondering if I have what it takes to pull it off since then.  Am I edgy enough? Can I find the perfect cuff? Just when I thought I was out, I spotted Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere sporting a delicate chained version of the ear cuff I've been pondering for months. Now this is something I could pull off!  A fine chain connects a tiny stud earring to a wishbone-shaped ear cuff, delicately draping the ear, for a look that is more pretty than edgy.

But what do you think - is this look a "Do" or a "Don't"?

Emily's delicate version is sold out, but see alternatives here. 

Do or Don't? The Single Earring

A surprising jewelry trend has been popping up here and there, coming and then disappearing again – a single earring! I spotted Diane Kruger, Milla Jovovich, and many others rocking this bold, asymmetrical look. I am all for experimenting with accessories, but do you think this look is a do or a don't? Should earrings always be worn in pairs or is this a look you totally would try?
