“You put on high heels and you change.” – Manolo Blahnik
PINK is everywhere this month. With proceeds from so many PINK products going towards Breast Cancer Awareness, it’s a great excuse to treat yourself, or buy some gifts (the holidays will be here before we know it!). And for those who are over showing their pink, many products are offered in white, black, patterned-neutral and more subtle but still supportive hues. So THINK PINK.
Right about the time everyone starts wearing something, is when I stop loving it. So while I’m still a big supporter of an oversized men’s-style watch on a women’s wrist – I’m branching out from the popular Michael Kors go-tos (I’m down to three after selling my fourth on eBay). For the most bang for your buck, I suggest a staple silver, yellow or rose gold – and right now I’m several from Nixon’s women’s (and men’s) collection(s). The Crystal Bezel increases your statement, as does a touch of blue marble. I love all-white (available in ceramic for the big spenders; shockingly still less than CHANEL), and white and silver. All-black is stunningly chic (also available in ceramic; and by CHANEL with or without diamonds). Opposites attract with yellow gold and gun-metal. Rose gold and acetate also make a great pair. A statement watch is the first step to a perfect outfit everyday.

Katie Holmes pays tribute to five-year-old Suri with her Jennifer Meyer “S” nameplate necklace. Famous for her wish bone worn by Jennifer Aniston in “He’s Just Not That Into You” a few years back, Jennifer’s jewelry is a favorite with countless A-listers (her pieces are regularly worn by Courtney Cox on “Cougar Town”; by Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz and more). They’re all 10s!
While I’m all for a $1,500 “push present” – (or more, Rachel Zoe’s husband Rodger gave her a $25k Neil Lane ring for birthday Skylar – 10 carats later, that is CLEARLY the exception and we can’t all be so lucky… Thankfully, there are more value-conscious ways of showing your maternal loyalty. Opt for yellow gold, white, copper, or silver, diamonds, or cubics. Bigger and bolder styles work too. These signature necklaces look great solo, or layered with other pieces. I’m all for mixing metals for casual occasions; wearing silver and yellow gold, rose and yellow, etc – it all works. But often, less is more. You’ll notice Katie’s always photographed with just the one signature piece.
Now go on, call your mother. She worries.

= “Bad Teacher”…. and amazing clothes!
Cameron Diaz is wearing Gold Jennifer Meyer Jewelry (JMJ) “thin bangles with stone” on both wrists, in this still from her new movie “Bad Teacher”. Jennifer Aniston wore these same bracelets in “Just Go With It”, out earlier this year. Elizabeth Mosley (aka, Cam)’s entire wardrobe is top-notch. Funded by the men in her life (not her teaching salary), she’s nothing but covetable Christian Louboutins shoes and boots; and DVF, Michael Kors, and Calvin Klein dresses. Costume Designer Debra McGuire’s choice of Jennifer Meyer Jewelry is also a staple in Jules Cobb’s “Cougar Town” wardrobe, and has been seen on celebs Kate Hudson, Katie Holmes and Nicole Richie.
Overall, bad teacher = a great wardrobe.

Within hours after the Royal announcement last week, Kate’s blue Issa London dress sold out. The dress retails for about $600, and while it’s not longer available we can all dress like a Princess-soon-to-be-Queen in a gray-take, or a similar blue style. Jewelry designers are already matching Kate’s blue sapphire and diamond engagement sparkler, just as they did when William’s mom, Diana, Princess of Wales first wore it in the early ’80s. Truly a full-circle moment for the monarchy.
When Prince Charles proposed to Diana in 1981, she chose this oval blue sapphire engagement ring from a selection by Garrard Jewelers. It weighs 18 carats and is surrounded by 14 small diamonds in an elegant cluster setting. The ring was a piece in the regular Garrard catalog, and could be purchased by anyone… Anyone with a spare 28,000 British pounds (equal to $65,000 USD at 1981 exchange rates). Of course today it’s value can be summed up in one word: PRICELESS.
To the future King and Queen of England, Leaders of the Monarchy and Commonwealth Nations…
