I’ve been reading tons of great reviews of the House of Harlow jewelry lately, especially bracelets, so I decided to see what all the hype was about. I have to say, I’m impressed and am now a fan! Each piece is truly unique and they all make such a statement. The current pieces seem to influenced by the tribal look, with heavy golds and geometric patterns. Very lovely!

Feather earrings are all the rage this season. Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler is said to have started the trend in the 1970′s and recently brought the feather back to the American Idol stage. Cool and chic, feather earrings can be worn with all sorts of outfits and will liven up any wardrobe. From the rocker to the bohemian chic look, feather earrings are a must-have this spring. I found a great selection of feather earrings at beso.com. Check out my favorites:

For a while now, I’ve been searching for an everyday statement necklace – one that I can wear with just about anything, that will give my outfit a bit of pizazz! While searching on my favorite shopping site, beso.com, I found not one, but two that I love. I’m so excited, but now I can’t choose. Which do you like, the sharks tooth, or the bird skull? They are both so incredible!

The Linea Pelle Sliced Leather Bracelet adds slouchy, relaxed yet polished style to a casual outfit.  It looks great with denim and boots or patent heels.  It is interesting enough to up the style ante of a jeans and sweater outfit without looking like you are trying too hard.  Carry a brown crossbody leather bag like the Fossil Sasha bag to finish the look!

Tacori IV Ring

Tacori IV Crescent Chocolate ring features a four carat cushion-cut simulated chocolate diamond.  Beautiful as a cocktail ring, right-hand ring or statement ring, the ornate platinum-plated silver and round Diamonique stones emphasize the center stone while adding some more bling.  The Tacori IV also makes a great gift for your BFF, or yourself!

Get it from QVC for just $74.86.

This has to be one of my favorite trends this season. Very cool look and you won’t break the bank. You can find these wrap bracelets at just about any store right now in a variety of colors and materials. I especially like to wear these bracelets to liven up a daytime look of shorts and a tee, but with all the different styles, you can find these to suit just about any outfit.

Window-shopping at Etsy, (yes, again) I came across these felt jewels at Vaivanat’s shop. Classy and bold women’s accessories handmade from felt wool. The Elegant Black and White Ardea Dahlia Felt Flower Brooch can be worn with a jacket, cardigan or blouse and the Sea Buckthorn Orange Berries Felt Necklace will adorn any low cut top or dress. Pieces come in a multitude of colors and designs and are all unique and numbered.

Spring is here and lust, I mean love, is in the air. The skirts are out with the high heels and the boots and sweaters retired back to hibernation. Everyone is crawling out of their winter shells to smell the cherry blossoms and enjoy the longer days and… maybe even propose. If being romantic is not your forté and your lady is an authentic geek, then you might consider the Swarovski Crystal Engagement Ring with a USB Flash Drive . This curious ring design allows you to connect and share information with your beloved (and hopefully trustworthy) nerd bird.

Classic Hollywood Glamour – Marion Cotillard gracefully shined in a Jean-Paul Gautier mermaid gown. Not too much or too little, but just radiant; beautiful neckline, discreet rectangular clutch, long necklace, wavy locks and a winning smile.
