Cute and Cuffed

Posted on 21. Feb, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, Abby Lee Hood, accessories, jewelry

If you’re a girl who doesn’t like to wear boring earrings, or you want to try out ear jewelry before committing to a piercing, ear cuffs are perfect for you! Cuffs are pieces of jewelry that usually just slide or clip onto your ear – no piercing necessary. Some cuffs do require you to have a piercing, however.

Ear cuffs make a big statement if worn correctly. Even small, dainty pieces can stand out. You can find normal metallics like gold and silver, or choose from other colors like black, green, red – the possibilities are endless! Read More »

Manly Jewelry

Posted on 19. Feb, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, Abby Lee Hood, accessories, jewelry

While women wear jewelry all the time, men don’t wear accessories as often. In other cultures, it’s true that jewelry is a bit more symbolic and less “sissified,” if you will, but in America, most men are looked down upon as being too feminine if they wear jewelry. The same goes for a man who wears really stylish clothing. Read More »

Alex and Ani: Here to Stay or Just a Fad?

Posted on 18. Jan, 2013 by Sara LeDuc in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, accessories, commentary, Sara LeDuc, trends

By now, half of the female population of the world owns at least one – if not many more – Alex and Ani bracelets. It’s crazy how fast a trend can spread, since a year ago hardly anyone knew Alex and Ani even existed.

Believe it or not, the story of these bracelets began in 2004 (eight years ago!). They were created in Cranston, Rhode Island, by founder Carolyn Rafaelian. These bracelets are eco-friendly and there are tons of different designs. They also have an “expandable” feature that not many other bangles, so they fit virtually any hand and wrist size.Read More »

Back in the ’90s, Gwen Stefani brought the Indian bindi ornament to the world of fashion by sporting one herself. She had bright pink hair at the time, so you can imagine what her fashion choices were like! Since then, the star has worn a bindi many times, and the look has been captured in a variety of photographs.Read More »

Pump Up the Gems

Posted on 26. Dec, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Fashion, accessories, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, jewelry, Stuff you didn’t know

A diamond may be forever, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be the eternal stone of engagement rings until the end of time. Couples are increasingly picking out engagement rings together, skipping diamonds and choosing more unique and affordable gem stones that fit the new fiancée’s personal style instead. In this age of customization, personalization, frugality, and online options, it makes perfect sense.Read More »

Get a Little Cap Happy

Posted on 13. Sep, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Fashion, accessories, hats, Tracey Vest

Hats are one of the accessories we will be seeing a lot of for fall 2012. What I find interesting is that a hat is one of the few items that are both functional and fashionable. They protect us from the elements and they are a perfect cure for a bad hair day, but hats are also a way of expressing your style and finishing an outfit.Read More »

Pricey Paper Bag

Posted on 29. Aug, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Fashion, accessories, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, Stuff you didn’t know

The paper lunch bag is iconic. Its understated elegance lies in its simplicity. It serves function over style, yet that is style in itself. The basic brown color shows that it lacks the fussiness of bleaching and colored dyes, and the shape holds a sandwich and apple perfectly. Classic paper bags can bring you back to your childhood lunches at school, evoking memories of Cheese Strings, Fruit by the Foot, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Now, instead of paying a few cents for a regular paper bag, you can pay $290 to carry a designer paper bag.Read More »

The Butterfly Effect

Posted on 09. Jul, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Health & Fitness, accessories, Tracey Vest

Most of my favorites this season can be considered high-fashion and ultra-feminine, but a wise fashionista knows that a good working wardrobe has pieces that can be worn for both work and play. My taste usually leans towards fashions that are from certain eras but also have a contemporary look. Practical fashion makes sense, especially when you’re on a budget, but I am also a fan of quirky, over-the-top, and even pieces that are a bit silly. There is one little trend I have been noticing here and there that is just too pretty to ignore.Read More »
