When do you know you are obsessed with a show on TV?  When I have to watch it every night I know I am. That’s where I am at right now with "The Good Wife".  I developed a kind of curiosity of what the  female  characters wear and their accessories. It is interesting to watch how Daniel Lawson developed the looks for each character, including the jewelry they wear and it is amazing how much thought goes into the jewelry on this show, even for the background players. I admit I am a fan of this show so I love seeing the different female characters and their very distinct styles. They all work in a law firm which is known not as the most creative place of fashion and yet all manage to look stylish and individualistic, as well as professional.

While her husband is in prison, she is rediscovering her individual identity.  At the law firm, she...

Running in the morning to work,  to a meeting or to a coffee with a  friend?  Your clothes are on, hair is done, make up is done, you look in the mirror and decide that you need a necklace.  You grab one, don't like it, another one, neither, finally you grab your faithful (the one you always wear.)you wish you picked something different but WHAT ? I picked a few styles and lengths from RZ Jewelry Design to go with collared blouse. Long pendant necklace short pearl necklace Top three pictures are to show what celebrities wear with THEIR  collared blouse. If you leave your top button shirt or two buttons undone choose a short pearl or lightweight necklace for classic look while chunkier style gives a cool, youthful look.  If you button up to the top choose a chunky style on top. I like wearing a long necklace as well with my collared blouse and a jacket. We often face the dilemma of Go long? Go choker? Go statement? Movie stars, politic...

Accessorizing may be the last thing on your mind when your alarm clock rings, but pair of gorgeous earrings can negate bad hair days, elevate modest outfits and actually it is one of the easiest ways to dress up an otherwise drab outfit. But many hesitate between right or wrong accessories when going to work, it is one of a common question on a woman’s working mind. Wearing the right outfit and accessories for the "right" office look is important. It sounds simple but believe me when you get up in a hurry in the morning and have to go through your closet for the right things to wear ain’t an easy task. I would like to mention a few engagements most of us have at the office: a regular day at work, special conferences, office parties and even an interview.  MY solid rule, wear what suits you, feel comfortable and confident, keep it simple and elegant. Here are some tips to get you the right office look and a few examples from my collections: A day at work:  You can...

I recently noticed headline after headline how Megan and Kate have similar clothes in different occasions, I became fascinated with the concept of “copying” (particularly outfits) and how my fellow adults, felt about it.  When I was at school I didn’t like my friends wearing the same clothes as I did, I liked to wear different clothes, I never wanted them to know where I bought them. Today celebrities sometimes wear the same, for example Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton… do they deliberately sometimes dress alike? In July, both wore yellow dress just a week apart.  In October, they wore similar maroon polka dotted dresses a few days apart.  On another occasion they had both burgundy looks on the exact same day.  It could be a coincidence but was it really? Taking into consideration how much thought goes into what the royals wear, that is quite unlikely. Is it a media strategy or are the two ladies just copying each other? As a youngster I w...

You Want To Be Fashion Forward Not Age Forward Not sure how to stay fashion forward without aging forward? Accessories can make or break our outfit. The right accessory can add that extra pop of color or texture you need to pull an outfit together, and the wrong one can make even the most perfect clothing combination look horrible. But that's not the worse, they can actually make you look older and that's not what we are going for when we get dressed in the morning. Well, for starters you will want to stay away from the matched sets of the past. You should mix metals, textures, and pieces together for a younger vibe. Here are some more tips to help you defy the years. Necklaces Chunky necklaces light up your complexion and bring sparkle back to your eyes-especially in mixes of pearls, beads and stones that reflect light. A bib necklace that goes to mid-chest can even disguise sun-damage and wrinkly neck. If you have a big or saggy chest, a short chunky necklace can re...

Drinking coffee and planning this week's blog, my mind kept returning to my friend's story about breaking in her house when all her jewelry was stolen. She was so emotional about her jewelry which made me realized even more how jewelry is weighted with meaning. It doesn't matter what it is, there is likely to be some sentimental or emotional reason you wear a particular thing. Those are pieces that can never be replaced not because what she had was particularly valuable (it was not), but because most of what was in there carried so much emotional weight. When you put on a piece of jewelry, you probably focus on how it looks with your outfit or what it says about your style. While jewelry has always been a way to adorn the body, it also has significant meaning and symbolism. The meaning of jewelry varies based on the piece, materials used and even the country. Whatever you wear, a piece of jewelry, fake or real, expensive or not so much, can really finish your look and...
