Style Must: Miu Miu Lightning Bolt Earrings

Miu Miu earrings

What do you get when you cross Miu Miu, lightning bolts, and plexiglass together? Absolute amazingness that is a thing of beauty! Throw in some crystals and you're just speechless. I'm picturing these green and yellow Miu Miu earrings with totally cute clothes. What do you think about a white tank, boyfriend jeans, and sandals? Yeah, I thought so.

They've been marked down from $150 to $105, which still isn't exactly a steal, but it is a consideration! On the other hand, GirlPROPS has a pair of lightning bolt earrings for $7.99. You could always pretend they're Miu Mius!

Style Must: Shourouk Brass and Crystal Bib Necklace

ShouroukYep, I'd pretty much say we're dying over this necklace over here. Jaw dropping, falling out of my chair, heart beating wildly. And head over heels in L-O-V-E. I'm imagining soooo many outfits with this most adorable bib necklace by Paris-based designer Shourouk. Cascading brass tassels and brilliant clear and green crystals make it so unique. It's one of those necklaces you keep forever and keep in the fam for generations to come.

Just picture all the cute clothes that would be made even cuter with this outstanding statment necklace. OK, the gushing needs to end. Just sayin'...it's a style must!

Prom 2012 Trends: Jewelry

Our guest fashion blogger today is the amazing Karen Leano, sharing with us some hot prom jewelry trends. She once worked for design houses Tommy Hilfiger and Dolce and Gabana, and is now COO of Cayetano Legacy Collection, a women's statement accessories line that utilizes real stones such as amethyst, turquoise, citrine, agate, jade, and pearls in their designs.

This is what Karen has to say about this year's prom trends...

The spring runways have shown us that accessories are bigger and brighter than ever, creating an over-the-top glamorous look that works beautifully for prom—with dresses in rich fabrics such as taffetas, silks, and satins. Check out these tips on how to style your jewels to compliment your prom dress!

Color
Many of the dress colors trending this season are pale blush pinks, tans, and matte metallic colors. Create pops of color with jewelry, whether it’s beautiful chandelier earrings, a big statement necklace, a fun cuff, or a conversation starter cocktail ring. Gone are the days of color-matching your jewelry and dress. In is bold colored jewelry—the most contrast, the better.

Shine
Jewelry with sparkle such as Swarovski crystals or Japanese seed beads continue to be on trend for the 2012 prom season. In fact, prom shoes are also blingy. Integrate some shine into style, and you will truly stand out.

Brooches
Brooches are a big hit this prom. Not only can they make a simple sweetheart strapless dress a little more special, they can hold multiple strands of necklaces together for a wow effect, or accentuate your prom updo. Plus, once prom is over, you'll find lots of ways to incorporate your brooch into your everday wardrobe. Pinned on your tank strap this summer, perhaps?

Round Collared Necklaces
A structured statement necklace attracts attention and makes the neck most graceful and elegant. This season, round collar shaped necklaces are all the rage, as seen on the runway and worn by celebrities on the red carpet.

Arm Candy
Sleeveless and strapless style prom dresses provide the opportunity for show-stopping arm candy to take center stage. Large crystallized cuffs or groups of smaller crystal resin bracelets layered together are the way to go with these dress styles.

Check out original Cayetano Legacy Collection statement accessories that would look amazing styled with prom dresses by Faviana and Phoebe Couture.
