2011 Academy Awards Jewelry Recap

2011-02-28T10:24:00.002-05:00

The red carpet at the 2011, Academy Awards was all aglow last night as the beautiful, leading ladies made their grand entrance! And we credit this glow to the fabulous jewelry of course!

Lets take a closer look as some of the award winning jewelry...

Natalie Portman's jewelry was hands down, our favorite of the night! Those burgundy, beaded, tassel earrings pulled her look together flawlessly...

via

Mandy Moore went for a more grown-up look in this glamorous Monique Lhullier gown. Her hair and large, stud earrings compliment the dress perfectly. And love those orange lips...

via

It's so refreshing to see necklaces back on the red carpet! Stars have shied away from them for the past few years, but here, Celine Dion shows us a new way to bring them back with this pendant necklace. Large pendants on longer chain lengths (look for 18-20") are so on trend this season...

via

Amy Adams is another star who rocked the pendant necklace with this timeless, gold and jade, double wrap drop and cuff to match...

via

Stars glistened in vintage, rhinestone, studded jewels...

Princess Charlotte

2011-02-16T21:14:00.000-05:00

How stunningly beautiful is Princess Charlotte of Monaco!?!

Her style is classic. Crisp, white shirts, camel trench coats and dark, denim...

What is so refreshing about Princess Charlotte's look is that it's natural. Full eyebrows, bare lips, hair that hasn't been over processed. This girl is the real deal!

Love that shes not afraid to glam it up with jewelry for a special occasion...

This girl has style, but with Grace Kelly as a grandmother, you could probably say she also has great genes going for her!

Makin' Whoopie...

2010-11-15T09:04:00.001-05:00

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, 1 stick melted, 1/2 stick softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon plus 2 pinches salt
1-2/3 cups flour
4 ounces cream cheese, chilled
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Get ahead
Freeze the whoopie pies for up to three days.

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the baking powder, the baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour.
Using an ice cream scoop or tablespoon, drop 12 generous mounds of batter, spaced evenly, onto each baking sheet. Bake until springy to the touch, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter with the cream cheese. Add the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 2 pinches salt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; mix on low speed until blended, then beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Spread the flat side of 12 cakes with the cream cheese frosting. Top each with another cake.

Christmas planning...

2010-11-08T08:00:00.000-05:00

Are you thinking about Christmas decorating in your home yet? Here are some ideas to get you inspired!

"Homemade fans add a personal touch to your tree. Fold two A4 sheets of paper, concertina style, staple each to make fans, then staple the fans together to create a circle. Attach to the tree using florist’s wire."-living etc.com

White with pops of neon color...

"Transform simple plastic baubles into festive showstoppers by sticking them on your wall in a dramatic swirl using Blu-tack. Go for baubles the same colour as the walls, or add impact with metallics and clashing shades."-living etc.

"Hang suspended baubles on ever-lengthening ribbons around a drum shade for an easy Christmas update. A simple string of lights around the fireplace and accessories adds a final touch."-via livingetc.com

Clementines really pack a punch...

still love you...

2010-11-04T11:49:00.000-04:00

Trendy fabrics can tend to get old pretty quickly, but when it comes to Schumacher's Chiang Mai Dragon...still loving it! And if you take a look at vintage, Schumacher fabrics you will no doubt find similar pattern play. The pattern is timeless, but the fresh, color ways allow for many pairings with modern fabrics.

Love these uses of Chiang Mai Dragon...

Rachel Zoe

2010-10-28T20:26:00.001-04:00

There is no question that celebrity stylist, Rachel Zoe has a thing for pulling jaw-dropping outfits together, but she also has great taste when it comes to jewelry. Not only does she have a good eye at selecting vintage and contemporary pieces for her jewelry wardrobe, but she knows just how to layer them for that effortlessly chic, boho vibe...

Large cocktail rings, beaded necklaces and stacks of bangles and cuffs are so Rachel Zoe!

Here are a few pieces from Blydesign we think Rachel would go "BANANAS" for...

New: African Trade Brass Collection

New! African Trade Brass

Many of the beads used in these designs were created by Nigerian Artisans using an ancient, lost wax casting technique. The beads have been fairly traded for goods and services to support the Artisan's family.

Wall to Wall Drapes

Wall to wall drapes are a great way to soften up a room and add a feeling of luxury...

Rather than painting an accent wall, I really like the idea of using fabric instead. Less commitment and much easier than painting...

Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles

In this room, the designer chose a sheer fabric in the same color as the walls which makes the room feel light and airy...

Elle Decor

Love this idea for a bedroom. It gives added privacy, but also can completely change the lay out of a room. A fabric wall can hide awkwardly placed windows allowing you to place your furniture wherever you wish!

Turban Lovin

That's it...I have to have a turban! I am not sure where or when I will actually get up the guts to wear it, but looking at these models and celebs has me thinking I have got to channel my inner, turban diva...

Prada

Ashley Olsen

Rachel Zoe

Kate Moss

If you find the turban a little intimidating, why not try a turban inspired head band like Ashley Olsen...

I found this turban online (I believe it is the same as Rachel Zoe's) for $22! It comes in a variety of colors. I also like this because it doesn't look complicated to wear (I won't need to learn how to wrap anything around my head)!

Displaying Art over a Bookshelf

2010-09-28T08:00:00.000-04:00

LOVE the idea of using artwork or photos outside a bookshelf! So unexpected. The images really pop against such a busy backdrop.

The only problem is that it serves as a barrier to something that is supposed to be functional, which is why this works best with decorative objects or books you don't need to reference often...

Mr Peacock via Design Sponge

If you don't want to go through the hassle of hanging your artwork, you could always just prop them up against the shelves...

People usually don't think of using a bookshelf as a wall for furniture, but this definitely works!...

To protect your furniture from the wear and tear of tacks and nails, I would use a Command hook. They come in many different sizes and will hold pretty much any size frame. Once you get tired of your framed art, taking it down will be a breeze!
