The Question: Dear Belinda, After a little debate with my best friend over which necklace looked best with my new button down silk blouse, I was left wondering if there are any rules to wearing certain necklaces with certain necklines. What necklace/neckline combinations do you like? Thanks, Sabrina Escondido, … [Read more...]

September 22, 2010 By 9 Comments
I am an accessory advocate. When it comes to extras, IÂ’ll tell you to add the hat or put on another chain necklace. Sometimes less is more, but that is not my accessory philosophy.

Marvelously Marni
April 24, 2009 By 2 Comments
When I think of Marni, I like to recall a trip taken to Italy a few years back where I tracked down an enclave of high-end designer "outlets" located on the outskirts of Florence. I had entered designer heaven, I'm talking Dolce & Gabbana bikinis, Prada bags, Pucci scarves...all under $100 bucks. … [Read more...]

HereÂ’s how to become your very own, modern version of a Grecian princess: Daywear: … [Read more...]

Malo: Very Good
September 15, 2008 By 9 Comments
Italian designed Malo is the opposite of bad this year. In fact, the collection was very, very good. Dark pewter and gunmetal jewels were infused in the collectionÂ’s cream, white and gray color palette. To the left are my two favorite looks. I noticed inspiration taken from long, v-neck, button … [Read more...]
Personal Pick of the Week: Necklaces, Rings and Bling, Oh My!
September 3, 2008 By Leave a Comment
I love accessories just as much as the next girl, but in the last few years IÂ’ve found that less is indeed more when it comes to gems and jewels.
