Silver and Gold

Ask and you shall receive!  Just a few days after writing my post on Alice in Wonderland, I found the ring that I wanted.  No, not the rabbit head, the keyhole ring.  I found it at my local Crossroads Trading Co.  So, not only did I find it cheaper than it would've been online, but I didn't have to pay shipping.  Very happy about that!

I've been buying quite a few rings lately.  While I used to gravitate towards silver or white gold jewelry mostly, I find that lately I've been buying a lot of gold pieces.  While going through the rings to photograph, I realized that I didn't really wear many of my silver/white gold jewelry anymore, except for my engagement and wedding rings.

Ready For Easter?

How about ordering this Benoît Missolin Miss Fortuna headband, available here.  

I have to say, if I had an extra $360 I'd be tempted to purchase this for my Easter celebrations.  Or maybe Benoît Missolin will want to send me one?

Celebrity Inspiration: Emma Watson

Emma Watson is someone we’ve watched grow up from a very young age.  And unlike other child stars, she’s done it with a certain grace and dignity.  All those Harry Potter kids have actually, but this post isn’t about them.  It’s about Emma.  Not only has she become quite a fashionable dresser herself, but she’s become a designer as well, with her collaboration with People Tree.  Not to mention the fact that she is currently the face of Burberry.  Add in her blossoming film career, and that’s a lot of achievements at the young age of (almost) 20. 

Here are some photos from a spread she had in Teen Vogue a year or two ago.  Absolutely gorgeous.  These photos are actually what first made me take notice of the little fashionista that Emma had become. 

She was also in Vogue Italia.  Here are some of my favorite shots from that spread.  She looks stunning.

Here is a photo of her with her costars from Harry Potter.

Of course it is easy to look fabulous for photo shoots that are thought out and designed to the last detail.  Here she is in some everyday/event shots.

I'll end the photos with some random shots of her from what appear to be photo shoots.

I love that she's been able to develop a personal style that is both age appropriate, and something that one would not need to feel ashamed about copying.

The Fab Four

Before Sex and the City, there were the original four girls we loved to watch.  The Golden Girls.  We recently got more channels with our cable, and so we get this show again.  I love this show.  LOVE it.  While my husband does not find it quite as interesting (he usually falls asleep shortly after I put on the Hallmark Channel), he is sweet enough to fein interest while he is awake.  Just another reason I love him.

Anyway... the show, though it takes place in the 80s, and features a cast of much older women, in some way still seems like a fashion inspiration.  Not that I'm about to start dressing like a 50-something divorcee/widower in Miami, but  I still have a fondness for the clothing.  Sequins, shoulder pads, muumuus and all.  And of course, Sophia's wicker purse.
