Laura James: Bestill My Vintage Heart

Sunday, 07 February 2010 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

Who doesn't love jewelry? Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings... women are obsessed (well, at least I am). Especially, when it comes to one-of-a-kind pieces from Laura James. My favorite — her vintage pieces that you just can't find anywhere. Truly special pieces to treasure for a lifetime. And the best part, Laura can customize to your heart's content!

Men, take note: Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show your love by touching a woman's heart ... with jewelry. The place to start is Laura James. If you live in Charlotte, lucky you ... you can visit Laura's showroom at 1419 East Blvd, Suite K, Charlotte, NC in Dilworth. This Wednesday, February 10th from 10am-6pm, receive 15% off by bringing in this card. Trust me, you'll want to check this out. There are so many special treasures ... and her rings are simply addictive. At 15% off, it makes the decision to buy them all a bit easier!

For those who love vintage, the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' will be incessant. Some of the pieces have a 16th century flair, which I am nuts over (yes, I'm a Tudors fan). No matter your taste in jewelry, there is something for everyone. You won't want to miss this event!

Stack 'em Up!

Sunday, 31 January 2010 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

Continuing the theme of statement jewelry, the collection is incomplete without bracelets — especially bangles. I simply cannot get enough! Bangles are an extravagant way to decorate your wrist, without the extravagant investment. Go for a mega dose of drama by stacking them up your wrist ... as much as you can fashionably get away with. Mix metals, colors, textures and details. Skip the rules! Let your heart pull you in and pull it together. If you aren't feeling it, that's where your personal stylist comes in.

Gotta Have Earrings

Thursday, 28 January 2010 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

An instant lift-me-up, earrings are one of the easiest ways to accessorize in a big way. There are so many fabulous styles to choose from. However, only the right earrings demand attention — drawing attention to your eyes, complementing your coloring, highlighting your hair. Add a sparkly gemstone or diamond, and it's all over!

The key is channeling multiple personalities. Yes, you heard right. This is one area where it's alright to divert from your style personality. I liken it to decorating a house. Mixing a little french with a little modern is perfectly acceptable. Don't be shy. Chances are, the right ones will call your name. So keep those ears open ... as well as your mind!

What To Wear: Cocktail Rings

Wednesday, 27 January 2010 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

You may have on the most basic of outfits, yet when you showcase a significant point of interest on your hand, your style factor goes through the roof! Big cocktail rings are here to stay, my stylish friends. Not only are they fun, they are truly statement makers. The greatest thing — there's no need to color coordinate your rings with your ensemble. Don't over-think it! You can even wear two big cocktail rings side-by-side on one hand.

For all of you hand talkers, wearing an extraordinary ring on your finger brings attention to you in a fabulous way. In fact, it makes all the non-hand talkers want to become hand talkers. So, go for it! Play it up. You almost can't go wrong!

Big Bold Necklaces in Black + Gold

Tuesday, 26 January 2010 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

It's this time of year when I'm ready to jump into the next season. Don't mind the snow that's supposed to hit this weekend. Spring brings to mind the big and the bold, as in jewelry. However, while the statement necklaces for Spring will still be chunky, they will be on a simpler scale. Think mighty, yet uncomplicated. Gutsy, yet rational.

With the neutral season upon us, utilizing a few big pieces with simple lines will make the outfit. And because these necklaces are also neutral, they can easily be mixed into any color palette.

The necklaces featured here are just a few of my favorites of the moment: top left = Kara Ross; top right = House of Harlow; bottom left = Oscar de la Renta; and Stefano Patriarchi.
