  • HOW TO: Wear Midi Rings

    HOW TO: Wear Midi Rings

    It wasn’t long ago that we showed you the best way to personalise and stack your bracelets  (HOW TO: Stack Bracelets). Trends come and go, and this season’s fashion has upped the versatility and pile power to stacking at the fingertips.

    Ring stacking has been spotted on celebrities from their everyday wear to red carpet designer gowns. We particularly love Beyoncé’s take on stacking at the Grammys, diamonds are a girl’s best friend after all!

    Whether it be multiple rings per finger or even four on each hand we have the ultimate fail safe how to:

    1. At Sophie’s Closet, we love a statement ring! Try wearing your favourite standout piece with a midi ring on the next finger. The trick? Choose the same theme for both rings, whether it be pretty punk, boho chic or even fabulous florals.

    We adore Vanessa Hudgen’s take on wearing multiple boho chic rings.

    2. Triple the glistening power of your bling ring, with identical crystal encrusted midi rings. Take note, less is always more with rings adorned in crystals.

    2jewelsFrom left to right: House of Harlow 1960 Gold Marquis Ring AED 180 (US) $49, House of Harlow Safety Pin Wrap Ring AED 210 (US) $58

    3. Add drama to a minimal outfit by stacking multiple coloured stone rings. Stick with the same base colour (we recommend: gold, silver or rose gold) and wear matching midi’s on alternate fingers.

    Mary Kate Olsen has got it just right with her multiple monochrome rings.

    4. Go midi crazy and wear one on each finger! Play around with different base colours to suit your personal style. One of the great things about midi rings is you can wear them on your pinkie too!

  • The OSCARS 2014

    The OSCARS 2014

    the-oscars-logoSunday night celebrated Hollywood’s most prestigious annual event, seeing the 86th Academy Awards descend upon the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

    After days of heavy rainfall, the sun finally shone just in time to welcome the world’s most glamorous ladies to the red carpet. Glitz and glamour were once again present in abundance with gorgeous, glistening gowns, precious dazzling diamond jewels and scene-stealing ensembles adorning the globe’s glitterati.

    cover

    This year’s winners were the ever-beautiful Cate Blanchett who picked up a ‘Best Actress’ Oscar for her role in Blue Jasmine, plus she looked remarkably mesmerizing in a nude Armani Prive embellished pearl and sequin gown teamed with a pair of large diamond pendant-style earrings.

    Kenyan actor, Lupita Nyong’o won an Oscar for her film debut as ‘Best Supporting Actress’ in 12 Years a Slave. Her full pleated powder blue Prada gown glistened as she twirled and was offset by a turquoise ring, gold bangles, silver statement stud earrings and an oh-so-chic crystal headband. Get her look with our luscious new arrivals at SOPHIESCLOSET.COM.

    Here are other key jewelry looks that we’re a little in love with after reviewing this year’s Oscars outfits:

    All About Ear Cuffs – On Sunday we saw the most exquisite ear cuffs around. Elegant, edgy ear cuffs enhanced the outfits of Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway and Lupita Nyong’o. The way to wear the new ear cuff subtle styles is to just cover the base of the ear lobes, ensuring instant sparkle and shimmer with a modern edge.

    Paris Haute Couture Week, Spring 2014: Nature’s Beauties

    Beautiful Butterflies

    A recurring theme at the Spring 2014 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week was the butterfly trend.  Beautifully symmetrical, covered in vibrant colors and delicate and decorative, we can see why Valentino and Jean Paul Gaultier based their latest designs on these interesting insects. Valentino’s Spring 2014 couture collection comprised truly beautiful butterfly embellished jackets and feminine, floaty butterfly adorned evening gowns. Jean Paul Gaultier also opted for elaborate butterfly headpieces and butterfly silhouettes. This really is luxurious designer, high-end fashion that’s exquisite and on-trend for the warmer seasons ahead.

    Fabulous Florals

    Elie Saab and Yulia Yanina took inspiration for their Spring 2014 Haute Couture Collections from the timeless trend, fabulous florals. Flowers were integrated into lace and painted onto Elie Saab’s stunning gowns. We predict a few of his desirable dresses will be making an appearance on the red carpet at this year’s 2014 Oscars! If you are looking for a slightly more subtle approach to wearing flowers, try Miriam Haskell‘s classic intricate pearl earrings, Ciner’s pearl flower earrings or other pearl jewelry pieces – we think they would work wonderfully with Elie Saab’s collection too.

    Yulia Yanina’s floral fashions were slightly less subtle. Bold prints and blooming flower headpieces couldn’t be missed on their catwalk show at Paris Haute Couture Week. We say wear this Spring / Summer ’14 runway trend with either a floral inspired headband, a Jennifer Behr Large Crystal Brooch Headwrap or team simple studs with your bold, statement floral printed dresses to perfectly complement this stand-out theme.

    A Time for Turquoise

    The most head-turning Golden Globe jewels were in shades of too-chic turquoise. The ever-sleek Sofia Vergara wore a statement-making Lorraine Schwartz turquoise necklace to completely offset her polished black sleeveless Zac Posen gown, whilst Emma Roberts achieved the same contrasting combo with her black off-the-shoulder number and bright turquoise earrings.

    Emerald City

    Another hue stealing the spotlight in the Golden Globe Jewelry style stakes was elegant emerald. Both the effortlessly glamorous Helen Mirren and fun-loving Jennifer Lawrence chose to adorn their lobes with this enticing shade of emerald green. Ms Mirren’s emerald drop earrings perfectly complemented her matching green Jenny Packham dress and Roger Vivier clutch. Jennifer Lawrence made her mark in a white and wonderful sleeveless Dior ball gown and chose to complete her look with a simple black box clutch, a stack of black and silver toned bangles, and dazzling drops of green emerald crystal earrings.

    Emerald

    Get their look for yourself with our Siman Tu Jade Drop Crystal Earrings,  the Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Baguette Drops or the Kenneth Jay Lane Silver Emerald Earrings with Swarovski crystals. Or why not combine two red carpet trends into one with these glistening green circular disc drops by Meghna Designs Circle of Life?

Many opted to keep jewelry subtle yet sensational, such as Berenice Bejo and Cate Blanchett (in her Armani Privé dress and Chopard jewelry) and Ariel Winter in Mikael D. These fashionistas donned contemporary hoops.
