Litter: Sexy Jewelry

I have been a fan of the edgy, San Francisco-based jewelry company for a number of years now, and was happy to see them looking to grow the business further with a recent appearance on Shark Tank. ( My favorite show!) The sister duo behind the line, Rachael and Mackenzie, have, along with their model-esque looks, the ability to create uniquely inspired looks for all types of jewelry. It all began with a one-of-a-kind headpiece, but now includes all types of body jewelry all the way down to shoe adornments. A love letter bracelet? A metal hair turban? What more could you ask for?

Getting Cuffed

Anyone with a lick of style knows what a huge contribution a good cuff can make to an outfit. Whether it’s a sleek, classic little number or an ornately embellished statement piece, cuffs can do wonders to top off your best outfits. Check out these guys from Ranjana Khan…so unique and yet so totally wearable. From your black tie best to the go-to jeans and tee look, there is nothing you can’t pair these beauties with. My style tip: double the impact and double the fun by wearing one on each wrist!

Gilding the Lily

October 31, 2012 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

When it comes to personal adornment, jewelry is my first love. I will always shun a piece of “fine jewelry” in favor of something, almost anything, that has some greater feel of costume to it. Bold is beautiful in my world, and jewelry brand October Anniversary has bold down pat. Though they have expanded into the necklace arena and beyond, I am most drawn to their original large-and-in-charge ring stylings. Inspired by everything outdoors, from the sea to the jungle to the garden, their recycled silver and gold creations are nothing short of inspiring. A lily in your hair may be good for a wedding, but a lily on your finger is best served as some 9-5 inspiration.

THIS FALLS NEW MONICA TOGGLE NECKLACE

November 10, 2011 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

It is an exciting time in design at the moment. I, Jaima, the designer have just finished creating several new pieces for the fall and winter collection. The Monica Toggle Necklace was designed in response to customers asking for more drop layered necklaces. Especially the Monica as the faceted agate, pearls and crystals reflect a subtle bling from them making the necklace sparkle. This jewelry is fashionable and very versatile as the colors of the agate include oyster, charcoals and beige so its a necklace that is neutral and it looks great on creams as well as dark hues like Black. Why do I love this piece?

It’s easy to put on and take off yet is secure with the toggle clasp.
The style is timeless.
The necklace has great value for the style as the pearls are real, as well as the agate and crystals.
The neutral colors go well with various fashions.

Layering is all the rage today in clothing which is perfect for this piece. The Monica Necklace is layers but not to heavy and bulky. Whether your classic or modernist this can fit any style of look. I happen to be more of a modern traditionalist so I like things with a twist and this suits my modern styling of clothing or can be easily paired wit a classic suit. One think I do love is the cor0rdinating wrap layered bracelet with the mother of pearl clasp. Well, have a look at my first video below as I just want to share with you how it looks on.

The Meaning & Beauty of Butterfly Fashions

October 2, 2011 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

As a designer, I personally love butterflies . They are a natural wonder, especially the monarch butterfly who can fly the amazing journey of 2500 miles during migration. Butterflies were fashionable in the 1950′s and 60′s where designers used the actual wings in jewelry. Today, Kate Spade and other designers are bringing the butterfly motif back into trend. It is now possible to find butterfly imagery on computer covers, fabrics, jewelry, fashion, accessories and home decor. They’re colorful, beautiful, delicate yet strong. When I see butterflies, they make me feel happy, light and airy creating an ethereal effect. They also have some interesting symbolism. Read On…

Audrey Hepburn Style with Black Pearls

September 17, 2011 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

Hi, I’m Jaima, a designer who has always loved the style and grace of Audrey Hepburn. One of my favorite movies was Sabrina, the classic romantic comedy where Audrey stars as the young and beautiful Sabrina, a chauffeurs daughter. Sabrina’s classic style is imbued with dreamy romanticism. With Sabrina in mind, I created the Sabrina Necklace. Read on…

The design is a modern classic with a touch of bling added. The black pearls reflect Sabrina’s dark eyes and full eyebrows while the faux diamonds twinkle with energy reflecting her beauty and grace. Before I even got into designing jewelry, I use to wear pearls all the time. My theory is, they look great with everything!

Pearls are versatile. They can be worn with

jeans and a t-shirt
a cocktail dress
business casual attire
formal attire

That is the beauty of pearls. They go with any style and always look perfect night and day. Pearls, great for various occasions such as weddings, graduations, holiday parties and birthdays. They also look great on a t-shirt when running to get a coffee. In my opinion, they are always in style. Retro fashions are returning to the runway and television, such as in the Mad Men TV series. Brooks Brothers in their 60′s style clothing campaign add pearls into the mix, completing the look.
