    Snowstorms may have delayed the shows, but the weather wasn’t stopping the world’s fasionistas from making their scheduled appearance. Models, stylists, photographers, designers, celebs and journalists all made their way through the treacherous conditions to last week’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City.
    We thought we’d take a sneaky peek at what the glitterati chose to wear to brave the city streets on one of the most fashionable (and coldest) weeks of the year. Here are their perfectly picked jewelry gems:
    Ear Cuff
     
    Listen up ladies! Both Aline Weber (above) and Sofía Sanchez Barrenechea adorned their ears with the glitz and glamour of a Rodarte earring cuff. In fact, Sofía Sanchez Barrenechea also teamed her Rodarte gem with a co-ordinating Rodarte fringed leather jacket!

     Sofía Sanchez Barrenechea

    Get the rock-chic statement look for yourself with our very own Erickson Beamon Duchess of Fabulous Ear Cuffs, complete with Swarovski crystals. (You’ll receive two ear cuffs, one for each ear). We’ve even a matching ring available too.
     AED 1,995 (US) $543
     
    Bow Headband
     
    Girly girls will simply love an oversized bow headband, so it’s lucky we have quite a selection in stock! Ulyana Sergeenko looks truly lovely in her Chanel headband, even in the bitter cold.
    Ulyana Sergeenko
    Steal her style with our Gossip Girl Black Satin Bow headband or opt for our Jennifer Behr Black Velvet Bow Headband, hand-wrapped in rich black velvet ribbon.
     
    AED 590 (US) $161
    Alternatively if you love the look and want to ramp up the girly factor even further, choose a blush pink bow headband. Try this Soft Silk Pink Bow Headband on for size. It’s also available in violet, black, and gray.

    AED 490 (US) $133
    Crystal Necklace
     
    Tina Leung knows style when she sees it – we’ve an exact match of her simply stunning Joomi Lim Metal Luxe Crystal Spike Necklace. Statement-making and oh-so-chic, these Swarovski crystals and brass spikes will add shimmer and sparkle to your daywear and evening looks too.

    Animal Magic
     
    Gold animal pieces are everywhere right now. Not only did the ever-gorgeous, trend-setting Cara Delevingne wear her lion statement chain pendant to New York Fashion Week, Rita Ora donned hers front row at London Fashion Week.
    Cara Delevingne
    Show off your wild side with one of Sophie’s Closet animal gems, such as our Pink Pave Gold Five Lion Head Necklace Set or our Vintage Trifari Tiger Brooch and Earrings Set, ideal for channelling your inner tigress.

    Gold Hoops
     
    Last but by no means least, the hoops still have it when it comes to stealing the show! Michelle Harper ensured her ears were the main attraction with her oversized, stand-out, glam gold earrings.

    Accompanied by a stunning, embroidered floor-sweeping black Emilio Pucci gown, Beyoncé looked truly divine when she took to the stage to perform the US National Anthem in Washington DC.
    The Lorraine Schwartz earrings were designed exclusively for Beyoncé to wear at this significant occasion, and the designer has quoted the earrings as ‘important but understated.’ Ms Knowles may have been accused of miming, yet there’s no way she can be criticized for the way she looked, as that was simple sensational.Get her glitterati look for yourself, as Sophie’s Closet are pleased to present our pick of the best emerald-green gems to get your outfits racing.

    Green Goddess: It’s not just Beyoncé that loves emerald green earrings, as these opulent Bounkit Green Agate Earrings have also been seen adorning the earlobes of style icons Angelina Jolie, Nicky Hilton and Blake Lively.
    THE LOOK: Angelina Jolie wearing Lorraine Schwartz 
    Emerald City: If you love the emerald hue, but prefer your earrings to come in slightly smaller packages, try these stunning studs on for size. The CZ by Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Square earrings are clip-on, 18K gold plated and enhanced with Cubic Zirconia stones.

    Fancy dressing like a princess? Of course you do, we all would wish to look as regally ravishing as Kate Middleton.  The ever-striking Duchess of Cambridge certainly knows how to get our attention in the style stakes. From her feminine, floaty high street frocks to her ultra-glam Alexander McQueen and Jimmy Choo combos, this lady knows how to style up a fashionable look worthy of fashionista-status.
    After all, we all remember when she wore a Reiss ensemble, it sold out within hours and crashed the brand’s website! Well there’s no need for such a panic today, as we’ve taken a little look into her fave jewellery pierces and found some ever-so-similar styles at Sophie’s Closet. That’s right, you can get prim and proper princess style, right here, right now – no website crashing necessary!

    Alternatively, get some royal affiliation with the delectable gem.

    If you’re not yet heard, after more than half a century, the Yves Saint Laurent name and YSL interlocking initial stamp has changed. The label’s new Creative Director, Hedi Slimane, dropped the ‘Yves’ from their ready-to-wear collection and the new name is ‘Saint Laurent Paris’. So with this in mind, our vintage YSL treasures are becoming even more iconic and valuable. Now’s the time to invest…
