    HOW TO: Pair The Perfect Necklace With Any Neckline

    Styling your outift with the perfect necklace has never been easier. This ‘How To’ necklace guide featuring some of our favourite fashionistas including the ever so chic Blake Lively, Miroslava Duma and Olivia Palermo is sure to keep you on trend for years to come.

    Boat Neckline with Long Necklace

    We adore how Blake Lively teamed this extra long ruby beaded necklace with her Oscar de la Renta floral boat neckline dress.

    Crew Neckline with a Collar Necklace

    A collar necklace worn with a fitted crew neckline creates a perfect finish. We are obsessed with this animal inspired piece worn by Emma Stone.

    Strapless Neckline with a Drop Necklace

    With a strapless top, you want to soften the harsh horizontal line. Rachel Zoe has perfected the look with a statement necklace that skims the edge of her dress.

    Turtle Neckline with a Pendant Necklace

    With a turtleneck long necklaces work well, opt for a chain with a statement pendant or multiple chains for more impact.

    Kenneth Jay Lane, Ornate Statement Necklace AED 1,895 (US$516)

    Soft V Neckline with a V Drop Necklace

    A V-shaped neckline works best with a V-shape necklace. Try different length necklaces to see what works best, but never go longer than the neckline itself.

  • 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.

    Picture Perfect Pastels – Powdery pink dresses and pretty subtle pastel shade jewels were the hot hues of the moment for Cate Blanchett, Camila Alves and Olivia Wilde. Subtle pastels accented their accessories and shimmered on diamond drop earrings and on rings too.

    Classic Crystals – Dazzling drops make the ultimate glitzy style statement and are the best accompaniment to any after-dark ensemble. Classic crystal drops were chosen by Jessica Biel, Kate Hudson and Penelope Cruz, through stars, strands and sparkling studs.

    Color Clash – Amy Adams made her mark in vibrant red drop earrings that color clashed with her beautiful navy Gucci gown. She wasn’t the only one with colorful drops as many more made an appearance at Vanity Fair’s Oscars after party too. It’s the ideal way to showcase a fun and fabulous personality by combining a pop of color with deluxe diamonds.

  • Green with Envy

    Green with Envy

    Emerald Green has been a definite favorite of the top design houses this season, featuring heavily on the runways of Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney and adorned by the most glamorous celebrities on the red carpet and also street style.

    This bright, sophisticated and versatile color will be sure to feature in your wardrobe this season.

     

    Gucci S/S 2013
    Melinda Maria earrings
     
    Emerald Green was featured in Gucci’s Spring Summer 2013 runway show, in extreme block color form. Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini has been a great advocator of jewel tones in her most recent collections. Creating romantic and eccentric looks, using block color with a variety of materials such as fur, silk, chiffon and leather. This bold outfit would be perfect teamed with the beautiful Melinda Maria earrings.

    Stella McCartney S/S 2013
    LeiVanKash Parsa Pyramid Bracelets

    Stella McCartney stepped away from her signature style of sharp tailoring and sexy femininity and incorporated a more masculine and casual take on block coloring. To match the more casual approach, we would suggest teaming the look with a bunch of LeiVanKash Parsa Pyramid bracelets.

    Anna Della Russo
    Shourouk Aplolonia Emerald Necklace
    Dannijo Green Cecil earrings

    No-one quite does excess like Anna Dello Russo. Every outfit the Vogue Japan editor creates, can only be described as a piece of art. Known for wearing radical runway pieces by day and never wearing an outfit twice, the over-the-top fashion icon is pictured here in a beautiful emerald green Dolce & Gabbana dress. To complete this statement look, we would either add the Shourouk Aplolonia Emerald Necklace or the Dannijo Green Cecil Earrings.

    Introducing SHOUROUK

    Shourouk Rhaiem
    Who wears Shourouk? The question is: Who doesn’t? From the stylish wrists of Miroslava Duma to Anna Dello Russo’s impossibly long neck, to supermodel Karlie Kloss in the pages of Vogue, to the iconic Sarah Jessica Parker.
    Ever since Paris-based Shourouk Rhaiem established her label in 2007, it’s been a mainstay in glossy magazine pages and celebrity accessory drawers. And for a reason, of course: Her colourful and glistening compositions are hard to resist. We are done resisting, and are happy to announce that Shourouk will be arriving to Sophie’s Closet this month!
     
    Shourouk F/W 2012
    Having previously worked for Chloe, John Galliano, and Roberto Cavalli, high fashion and quality craftsmanship was already party of her design repertoire. As an avid traveller, Shourouk is inspired by her many journeys, collecting beautiful objects and placing them in her studio to spark her creativity.
     
    Anna Dello Russo wearing a Shourouk necklace and earrings
    The result is a fantastic mash-up of worldly inspirations, like vivid colours from Bollywood films and the opulence of Russian aristocracy.
     
    Miroslava Duma wearing Shourouk bracelets
    So beautiful, one can instantly glamourize a simple jean dress like Miroslava Duma’s, just by adding a little Shourouk.

    Especially when it comes to the bright statement necklaces that add that extra ooph! to any outfit.
     
    Shourouk F/W 2012
    One of our favourite pieces from this collection is the triple band ring. Genius!
    We’ll be posting the pieces on our online store as soon as they arrive, so keep an eye out. Don’t let them get away!
