Stana Katic is undeniably gorgeous – the Castle actress never looks less than flawless at press appearances. Aside from her natural beauty, we think this also has to do with the jewelry she chooses.

Katic showed up to the Roma Fiction Fest wearing a striking beaded statement necklace. The piece contained brown and clear gemstones and perfectly complemented her vibrant yellow, off-the-shoulder top.

Stana obviously adores memorable items. At the Academy Awards earlier this year, she was photographed wearing a lovely pair of silvery pendant earrings. The pieces were an ideal match for her unforgettable silver halter gown.

Congrats to Stana for knowing how to turn heads while sporting unique jewelry.

Trend Spotting: Mad Men inspired retro-chic.

Mad Men Style. Are you a Peggy, a Betty, or a Joan?

Hand in hand with the resurgence in fedoras is a more wide-reaching trend that is bringing some retro looks back in a serious way. You could just call it the natural cycle of fashion, but I think it has more than a little to do with the best-dressed show in America.

In the fashion world, we’re all positively obsessed with Mad Men. The dresses! The lines! The curves! The colors! Rarely has a television show had such a big impact on fashion as this one. Season 4 just began and I, for one am riding this trend all the way to the 23rd floor, if you know what I mean.

I did a little hunting around and found three great retro-inspired jewelry pieces to go with my pencil skirts without needing an ad exec’s salary to afford them.

The first is this gorgeous and playful amethyst cocktail ring. Royal purple, blue and a hint of mother of pearl are a perfect color pallet for a 1960’s style outfit. It’s fashionable, but demands to be taken seriously. I can see Peggy wearing this one.

Second, the giant swirl on this luscious black pearl ring make it the perfect accessory for sleek evening dress. Mrs. Draper, anyone?

And third, this chunky squares of inky black and bright yellow onyx on this bracelet are sultry and eye catching without saying too much. Perfect for the Joan’s among us. You know who you are. No sense trying to hide it.

Take a look for yourselves and keep trend spotting with Mad Men on Sunday nights.

Ice Jewelry — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:00:22 +0000

Kristin Cavallari is certainly a blonde bombshell, but the girl knows how to wow crowds with something other than her looks.

The curvaceous MTV star recently showed up to an event in Las Vegas looking put together and stylish. The best part of her outfit was her arm candy.

Cavallari donned two killer wrist-adornments. One appeared to be a silvery watch while the other looked like a bold shimmery bracelet.

We love that she paired a watch with a bold bracelet – it made her ensemble look fresh and added a touch of glamor. Don’t be afraid to follow her lead and do the same.

Cavallari’s outfit was simple – a black jumper – but she appeared completely appropriate for a Vegas affair. We commend the girl for her smart choices.

However, what really stood out on Berry were her earrings. The small silvery hoops were perfect for her casual day out. But, the versatile items would have been equally appropriate for Berry at her next red carpet appearance.

Girls who want to be noticed might want to follow Salma’s lead. Some gals might decide to don a statement necklace, but others might not want to feel the weight of such a bold piece on their collarbones and necks – especially in the hot summer months.

Fans of Bella and Edward can rejoice. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third chapter of the beloved franchise, is out in theaters today.

Bella’s engagement ring is the jewelry piece which stood out in the trailer. The ring, which features several diamonds in an oval setting, appears to be vintage-inspired but still feels absolutely modern.

The ring was one of the only jewelry items Bella wore in the film, but it makes sense that the filmmakers wanted all eyes focused on the stunning bling.

It looks like lead actress Kristen Stewart favors this simple style in real life as well. When she appeared on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, she donned only a smooth gold band on her left hand.
