Summer Accessories: Silver Earrings

by Kylie 15. April 2011 02:48

Everyone loves dressing for warm weather. It means you can break out your sundresses, mini-skirts and fashion tops. Summer is also a great time for new jewelry and accessories. To complete any summer outfit be sure to add to jewelry that will accentuate your outfit. For a great value on jewelry, check out sterling silver jewelry.

Sterling silver jewelry is reasonably priced and allows you the flexibility to put together a collection of pieces for each outfit. One of the most important accessories to complete any outfit is earrings. Depending on the rest of your outfit, you should determine which type of earring is appropriate stud earrings, hoop earrings, dangle earrings or chandelier earrings. We love summer fashion because you can do so much more with your clothing choices.

Also, the type of earrings you wear should depend on your hair style. Earrings are a great summer accessory because they can dress up an outfit for a night out or you can find a pair to just be worn casually every day. Some of the looks we love for summer are:

 Casual Outing: CZ Diamond Cut Stud Earrings from emitations.com

 

Night Out on the Town: Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings

 

 

Date Night: Multi-Stone Drop Earrings from Zulumoon.com

Celebrity Fashion: How to Get the Look For Less

by Kylie 21. February 2011 07:38

Sterling silver jewelry is a way to look great without spending a fortune on jewelry. When you are searching for jewelry pieces you will find that instead of spending money on one piece you can put together several looks for the same piece. This means you can have versatility in your wardrobe and mix and match different looks, keeping your style fresh. If you are feeling stagnant with your style give these three celebrity comparisons a try.


Get this look: Glee's Lea Michele at the 2010 Golden Globes, you can achieve this same look with these silver earrings from Zulu Moon for around $20. Drop earrings always make a great addition to a strapless dress.


Get this look: Rhianna wears these silver bamboo hoop earrings that can be found on Amazon.com for $34. Rhianna is known for her edgier style and wiliness to take risks when it comes to fashion.

Get this look: Black Swan star Natalie Portman wears a dangle earrings with a string of jewels. You can achieve the same look with an amber dangle earring with similar shapes. This earring is also from Zulu Moon for $25.

Celebrity style cues don't have to cost you an arm and a leg. You can find great deals out there, it just takes a little searching. You can save money and be fashion forward at the same time, it's all about making your dollar go further.

Summer is winding down and fall is almost here. The best part about fall is the crisp air, layering clothing and wearing your newest fall fashions. But with colder months ahead, closed toe footwear is neccessary, I'm talking boots! Boots have been a staple for fall fashions since way back in the day...and are one of the most important part of your fall wardrobe. Boots can come in several different styles and looks. From suede to distressed leather to thick, rugged heels or leather soles, boots are the way to go for fall.

 Our first boot is from J.Crew:

Hot Trend: Skeleton Key Jewelry

by Kylie 23. July 2010 04:42

Does someone have the key to your heart? A new jewelry trend is skeleton key jewlery. If you are doing your back to school shopping, these key pendents are a must have for the fall. Trendsetters and young celebrites have found this style to be a unique piece of jewelry that can be worn as a charm, necklace or even earrings. Celebrities like Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are wearing similar key necklaces. The fleur-de-lis pendent, gothic designs or more traditional key designs are also a common trait found in one or more of the pieces.The inspiration behind the key jewelry is thought to have been started by the famous, Tiffany and Co. but here at the Budget Fashion Report, we are always seeking out ways to get celebrity style on a budget. One option is to actually find old keys and turn them into necklaces. Searching antique shops or even stores like Anthropologie, you may stumble across a unique looking key. Another way to achieve the same look as these celeberites is to opt for sterling silver and CZ key pendents. Going this route will still give you the great look but without the high cost.

 

The leighton Meester look:

Leighton is wearinga classic skeleton key design. The skeleton key design is characterized with the three loops at the top of the key. A comparable and more reasonably priced pendent would be something like this.

 

 

the Selena Gomez look:

Selena is wearing what I would classify is a more gothic design key.  This piece is a little more intricate compared to the previous pendent. Something similar to this design would be something like this charm here. The design has a fleur-de-lis in the handle and gives you that intricate patterned look. 

 

 

the Taylor Swift look:

 Taylor is wearing a pendent that looks more like a real key than the two previous. I would recommend trying to find an actual old antique key but if you can't, a piece that is similar to this would be this key design. 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 


    
  

Hot Trend: Skeleton Key Jewelry

by Kylie 23. July 2010 04:42

Are you searching for an accessory that will unlock your style? A new jewelry trend is skeleton key jewlery, and if you are doing your back to school shopping, these key pendents are a must have for the fall. Trendsetters and young celebrites have found key jewelry to be a unique piece that can be worn as a charm, necklace or even earrings. Celebrities like Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are wearing similar key necklaces but probably paid hundreds for a style that is simple to recreate.

The fleur-de-lis pendent, gothic designs or more traditional key designs are also a common trait found in one or more of the pieces.The inspiration behind the key jewelry is thought to have been started by the famous, Tiffany and Co. but here at the Budget Fashion Report, we are always seeking out ways to get celebrity style on a budget.

Something similar to this design would be something like this charm here. The design has a fleur-de-lis in the handle and gives you that intricate patterned look. Reinvent this look with a shorter chain. 

 

 

the Taylor Swift look:

 Taylor is wearing a pendent that looks more like a real key than the two previous. I would recommend trying to find an actual old antique key but if you can't, a piece that is similar to this would be this key design. Recreate this look with a silver chain and loop the key onto the chain.

 

  

Celebrity Style on a Budget

by Kylie 14. June 2010 07:35

 

If you watch celebs walk down the red carpet they are typically dripping in jewelry. Sparkling diamonds and ulta-blinged out accessories are the norm when it comes to celebrity red carpet fashion. You can accomplish the same looks at a fraction of the price if you know where to look. Instead of spending thousands on diamonds you can get the same look with CZ (Cubic Zirconia) for a lot less and still have that sparkle. Some popular looks are chandelier, drop and dangle silver earrings. A really popular trend is light colored metals like silver, white gold and platinum. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Carrie Underwood and Penelope Cruz all favor the drop silver earrings. All of these celebs are wearing earrings covered in diamonds but a less expensive alternative is to look into wearing CZ, especially for a glamourous event like a Prom, black-tie dinner, formal ball, etc. Not only will the earrings look great and sparkle like a real diamond, you'll feel like a glamourous movie- star without dropping some serious scrilla.

Here are three styles of celebrity silver earrings that are very close to what the celebrities are wearing and will give you a similar look when you are on a budget.

 The first style is a CZ Chandelier similar to what Kim Kardashian is wearing.

 Tear drop CZ earrings.

 

This next style is similar to what Carrie Underwood is wearing.

 Drop CZ Earrings

Last we have a style that is similar to what Penelope Cruz is wearing.

 Cubic Zirconia Chandelier Earrings.
