In this recent photo of Heidi Klum, we see her wearing a Diane von Furstenburg dress, in a vivid modern stripe print, cinched at the waist with a belt.  This dress is probably way out of budget for most of us, but modern stripes/geometrics/similar patterns on dresses are definitely within reach and a belted waist is the look of the season.  I chose to highlight Ms. Klum’s ensemble because of her jewelry choice.  She’s wearing a chunky charm bracelet, which mirrors the bold look of her outfit and the playfulness of the print.

If you have a printed dress or printed top that you need to accessorize with jewelry, check out the charm bracelets and the huge selection of charms on ZuluMoon.  Of course, charm bracelets are totally customizable, too.  For instance, you can get this 7 inch, 120 gauge bracelet and add a few charms such as this regal crown charm or a monogram initial charm in the letter of your preference.

 

 
   

 

 

 

 

          

Eva Mendes could choose anything, absolutely anything, to accent her white Dior evening gown at the Golden Globe Awards.  What would you choose?  As you see here, Ms. Mendes stunned the crowd with this beautiful turquoise collar necklace and coordinating earrings.  Turquoise, is of course, a beautiful and ancient natural mineral which appears in a range of colors from green to blue-green to bright aqueous blue.  While it was a common staple in ancient cultures, it still makes its way back into modern fashion, as seen in Ms. Mendes’ red carpet photo.

ZuluMoon carries hundreds of turquoise jewelry items for you to choose from.  Perhaps you like the triple-strand turquoise necklace as pictured below, or the double-strand roped necklace with the beautiful silver pendant detail.

                      

 

 

Angelina Jolie looks inspiringly elegant in her ivory pantsuit ensemble.  I love how she pulled it off, and we can learn some valuable tips on how to wear such a pantsuit and look glamorous instead of matronly. 

Tip #1: Go for the monochromatic look—all ivory allover.  Tip #2: Wear with heels to maximize your height and slenderize your appearance.  Tip #3: Roll up your sleeves a few times to expose your manicured hands and bejeweled fingers.  Tip #4: Accessorize with loads-of-sparkle long CZ earrings and one or two large cocktail rings; pull back your long hair if necessary to show off the lovely earrings.

 

Now that you are fully armed with ways to duplicate Ms. Jolie’s look, here are a few picks from ZuluMoon’s cubic zirconia range for accessorizing, including these long tear-shaped CZ earrings and this triple-braid CZ ring. 

 

                                        

The people have made their choice.  At least, that's the principle behind The Peoples Choice Awards, which aired their 35^th annual ceremony last week.  Hooray to all the winners, and congrats to all the nominees.  Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown won an award for their duet, No Air.  Ms. Sparks enthusiastically accepted the award, so excited, she even carried her purse on stage.  Her choice of attire was a beautiful ensemble…the bright blue dress, with gold purse, gold necklace with crown charm and oh yes, that sizeable amber or amber-colored ring worn on her right hand.  If you like her ring, check out this oblong amber ring  here at ZuluMoon.com.  It features a piece of natural amber in a modern and celeb-worthy setting, as seen below.

 

   

Gabrielle Union keeps the glitz and glam perfectly at bay with her great look at the premiere of Seven Pounds with her ensemble, with what I would call “understated glamour”.  Her dress is undoubtedly a formal gown, but it is a solid color, with simple, clean lines.  And, while this dress could be paired with diamonds and gems galore, Ms. Union chose a more casual range of jewelry, hence the “understated” look.  With formal wear, often the jewelry you wear suggests the level of formality. 

Ms. Union is wearing silver drop earrings, a set of silver bangles, and on her index finger a large black onyx or black enamel accented ring.    ZuluMoon.com carries a selection of black-accented silver rings such as the Marquis Black Onyx Scroll Ring , the Enamel Black/White Swirling Dome Ring, or the Black Onyx Button Ring.

 

 

             

              

Recent rumors have spread about a possible breakup between Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony, after they were supposedly seen apart and without their wedding rings.  What scrutiny celebrities subject themselves to!  So, while attending a political inauguration in Puerto Rico on January 2, they made sure to have their arms around each other and their expensive wedding rings were proudly displayed.  Their celebrity publicists addressed the press directly as well, to squelch the rumors of an unhappy matrimony. 

If you like Jennifer Lopez’s jewelry ensemble as worn in the photos, I suggest the more practically-priced Sterling Silver  CZ options from ZuluMoon, including the CZ heart dome ring  and the CZ drop earrings.

 

                      

 

 

Kate Winslet, the A-list actress, is seen here at the premiere of her latest film, Revolutionary Road.  Having been in the international stardom spotlight for well over ten years now, Ms. Winslet still manages to grab headlines.  Today in a London newspaper, The Daily Mail, they showed in a special-interest column exactly what Kate Winslet’s hair would look like on other celebrities.  It was silly, yes.  But it solidified in my mind that she has reached an iconic status and that her style is worth noticing.  Overall, it is attractive and not too complicated.

At the movie premiere, she wore the short black dress with sequin asymmetrical neckline, and black platform pumps.  For jewelry, she opted for some simple diamond earrings and a multi-strand diamond tennis bracelet.  What a simple combination!  Ah, but diamonds are a bit too pricy for most of us to splurge on. Instead, try ZuluMoon’s CZ 3-strand tennis bracelet that you can add to your jewelry collection, and keep for years’ worth of glamorous nights out for a much more reasonable price. 

 

     

  

   

Are you in the ritual of getting dressed, approaching your jewelry box and asking yourself: “Is this a silver-jewelry outfit, or a gold-jewelry outfit?”  I know that I’ve been in that rut for, well, as long as I can remember.  There are some exceptions, like the colored beads and wooden bangles, but when it comes to my metal pieces, I go by color temperature: cool (silver) or warm (gold).  That’s why I found this jewelry ensemble by Molly Sims so inspiring.  It gives me the courage to mix it up now and then, to add a dash of the unexpected, especially for those special occasions that call for it.

She’s wearing a jeweled halter-neck gold sheen bubble dress with metallic shoes. Her jewelry consists of a mixture of copper and silver bangle bracelets.  Notice that nothing is “matchy-matchy” but it is balanced nonetheless and makes for a beautiful red carpet-worthy outfit.

Now is the time for us to let our gold jewelry and silver jewelry co-exist.  Molly Sims showed us how it can be done.  If you need a little more assistance, here's a two-tone triple bangle set sold at ZuluMoon to get you started.

    

 

Actress Rosario Dawson has a long list of roles, most famously Rent and Sin City.  She looks ever so elegant and grown-up in the photo above.  Wearing a black velvet jacket, her makeup is expertly done to achieve the smoky eye look.  Second only to her bright smile are her sparkling chandelier earrings.  They suit her so well.

You can find affordable CZ chandelier earrings right here on Zulumoon.com as well.  If you like the style that Ms. Dawson is wearing, check these out.
