Jewellery Inspiration: BLAKE LIVELY’s Layered Bracelets

Once again we are coveting Blake Lively’s style (check our post on her earrings). It helps that she is always wearing gorgeous Chanel gowns and perpetually looks perfect. Here she is at The Green Lantern premiere accessorized to the nines with multiple layers of silver and gold bracelets by Lorraine Schwartz.

AndContinue reading “SUMMER BRIDES”

She has a thing for emeraldContinue reading “Jewellery Inspiration: BLAKE LIVELY’s Earrings”

Vogue Australia (March 2011)   One of our favourite editorials this season so far is this one from Vogue Australia. It’s so fun, colourful and very heavy on Prada (which we love!). Yellows, reds, pinks, greens and blues — the brighter the better! ERICKSON BEAMON ‘Schiaparelli’ earrings KENNETH JAY LANE Enamel Cabochon bracelet Freshly atContinue reading “CRAZY COLOUR!”
