Alicia Keys Makes a Vera Wang Statement
By Dyuti
Madison Square Garden was set ablaze with Alicia Keys sizzling performance. Spectacular as always, Alicia elevated the glamour quotient of the evening in all black sequined black pants. The pièce de résistance of her outfit though, was adorning her neck.
This layered, multi-stranded, statement necklace is a part of Vera Wang’s spring 2010 RTW line-up. Called ‘Partying with Poiret’, the collection is a contradictory in itself. On one hand it draws inspiration from romantic flowers of the season like tulips and poppies while on the other are dark undertones and the midnight blues. The clothes are wispy, light with slight drapes and gentle gathers; all in nocturnal colors like charcoal, indigo, violet and gray. As a counterpoint to this are the accessories. Countless strands and chains intertwine and interlace together to make strong and bold necklaces which add some drama to the ensemble.
This one-of-a-kind neckpiece is surely this season’s must have accessory and with Alicia donning it, a new trend has just begun.

Pennyroyal Silver Does Music and Hollywood Proud
By Samantha
Jewelry line Pennyroyal Silver is quite busy lately, with two fabulous collaborations going on. Designer Tim Foster creates jewelry with a message, which is inspired by his true passion for music, as he is an industry veteran. Each piece is designed with a song in mind, and just like those songs, it is the minor imperfections in each piece that makes them come to life, and gives them value. The line started with a hammer and a penny and has grown exponentially since then, with full collections of jewelry that is wearable, fresh and truly inspired.
Most recently, Burton and Pennyroyal Silver teamed with singer Jewel to create a limited edition pendant whose proceeds will go to “Give a Drop,” one of Project Clean Water’s campaigns. Burton’s love of philanthropy and music came together, as Jewel and Burton were able to get creative musically, and support a charity that they both believe in. The silver water droplet pendant is fun to wear and a great way to look stylish whilst giving back. The pendant retails for $90.
Alongside his collaboration with Jewel, Pennyroyal Silver has made a commemorative piece of jewelry for the release of Alice in Wonderland. The “Drink Me” pendant is a bit gothic, showcasing the darker side of the movie, and is edgy yet remains elegant as well. Anne Hathaway recently picked up the necklace to celebrate the movie, and her fantastic role in it. This “Drink Me” pendant retails for $145, and you can use the coupon code “Alice” throughout the month of March for 25% off. There are only 1000 numbered pieces, so hurry up. Alice in Wonderland is the hottest movie of the year, and any of the merchandise is definitely on trend, fun and will be wearable forever.

2010 Oscars Red Carpet: Pinks, Blues and Gold All Over
By Samantha
The biggest red carpet celebration has just passed us by, the 82nd Academy Awards. But we wouldn’t let this day full of entertainment icons pass us by without discussing the fabulous fashions worn on the famous red carpet. This year, the Oscars celebration was full of vibrant hues from blues to pinks, with many starlets channeling the statue itself in metallic and nude tones. An evening full of ladies dressed up like real like princesses, these women are true style icons, and this carpet is their catwalk. So now, a rundown of the fashions at the 2010 Academy Awards.
There is no better way to start off than by the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress, and America’s Sweetheart, Sandra Bullock. The celebrity icon looked statuesque and fit for her statue in a gold Marchesa gown and Jimmy Choo “Quiet” sandals. A true golden goddess, if we don’t say so ourselves.
Now, for the ladies in pink, and there were quite a few of them, in all shades of the feminine, flirty and perfect for spring hue. Anna Kendrick was a pretty pretty princess in her Elie Saab Haute Couture gown and a Judith Leiber clutch. Her co-star Vera Farmiga through hot pink out of the park in her stunning Marchesa number, and she pulled off the ruffles with perfection.
Next up is Demi Moore who was glowing in an Atelier Versace dress, Versace sandals, a Ferragamo Clutch and Van Cleef and Arpels jewels.
Rachel McAdams may have been my personal favorite of the night. Her watercolored Elie Saab Haute Couture gown and Ferragamo clutch were to die for. The dress lit up against the carpet, and the starlet looked like a real fashion icon.
Penelope Cruz, the on-screen siren, definitely looked hot in a Donna Karan Couture dress and Roger Vivier Haute Couture Folies clutch.
Singer, actress and all around amazingness Jennifer Lopez stunned in Giorgio Armani Prive gown and clutch with Cartier jewels and Ferragamo pumps.
Queen Latifah looked truly regal in her fabulous jeweled frock, and the lines of the dress are truly eye-catching.
From pinks to purples, Zoe Saldana’s dress was the talk of the night. With a jeweled top and a ruffled bottom full of color, she looked radiant from head to toe, and those shoes were seriously amazing. The dress was Givenchy, and we hope she gets to keep that stunner.
In line with Zoe Saldana was Charlize Theron who took a fashion risk. Love it or hate it, you decide, we are going with love. It is truly a high fashion couture piece, and if anyone can pull that off, it is Charlize. The dress was Dior Couture, as were the shoes, which she paired with Harry Winston jewels.
Now, the other favorite color of the evening was blue, although none of these ladies looked like they had the blues. From pale to navy and everything in between, navy is a safe color, but many of these ladies went far from playing it safe with their fashion choices.
First up, we have Maggie Gyllenhaal who looked like the belle of the ball in her Dried Van Noten gown, that looked a bit to us like the famous “Starry Night” painting.
Law and Order: SVU is one of my personal favorite shows, and no one truly realizes how stunning Mariska Hargitay is until she pops out on the red carpet. For the Academy Awards, the television star dazzled in navy Vera Wang paired with Fred Leighton jewels.
Mo’Nique went straight for the cobalt blue trend, and looked stunning in a Tadashi Shoji gown, Swarovski “Fan” clutch and Jimmy Choo “Clue” Platform Sandals. Her husband was quite the hot accessory, too.
Mariah Carey looked sexy yet totally refined in her Valentino number, with a stunning side slit, and H. Stern jewels.
Newcomer to the carpet, Gabourey Sidibe, maybe getting a ton of acclaim for her role in Precious, but we must say, she is truly taking some awesome fashion risks along the way. The starlet looked stunning in a gown by Marchesa and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
Stunner Elizabeth Banks looked positively glowing in her Versace blue-gray gown, with detailing to die for.
Los Angeles fashionista and designer Nicole Richie graced the carpet in a fabulous boho-chic ensemble. The dress was Reem Acra which she paired with a Judith Leiber clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Bally shoes.
Another popular color on the red carpet was metallics and nude tones, as if the celebrities were trying to re-incarnate the Oscar statue themselves. However, they looked dazzling in nude, which looked fresh and fun on the carpet.
Starlet Amanda Seyfried looked absolutely beautiful in an Armani Prive gown with Swarovski beaded detailing and Brian Atwood “Katie Bis” pumps.
Miley Cyrus looked age appropriate, fun and fashion forward in her Jenny Packham frock.
Cameron Diaz, Hollywood’s “it” girl, graced the red carpet in an Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 collection dress with Cartier jewels, a Roger Vivier “Sesame” clutch and Brian Atwood gold satin “Wagner” pumps.
Kate Winslet played the part of the sophisticated, chic actress, which was not a stretch at all, in her Yves Saint Laurent dress and Tiffany gems.
Meryl Streep wore a dress by Project Runway alum, Chris March, which she accented with a Swarovski clutch and Jimmy Choo “Zena” sandals. The woman can do no wrong, I swear.
Trend-setting celebutante Diane Kruger failed to disappoint as she looked fabulous in her Chanel dress and Jaeger-Le-Coultre diamond bracelet.
Never is there a red carpet that passes that celebrities do not wear black. However, this year, the black dresses were bold and statement worthy, and nowhere near boring.
To start, we have Carey Mulligan, who looked fierce yet elegant in a Prada dress with “raso doppio tec” material, which she paired perfectly with Prada pleated “Duchesse” heels and a Prada clutch.
Country crooner, and total hottie, Faith Hill spruced up the red carpet in her black gown with black lace detailing. She looked rocker worthy and jaw-dropping.
Comedienne Tina Fey looked beautiful on the red carpet in a Michael Kors one shouldered gown, Jimmy Choo pumps, a Kotur clutch and Stephen Russell jewels.
And last, but certainly not least, is Sarah Jessica Parker. If there is a red carpet that she is on, she will definitely be note-worthy, make a statement and look totally fabulous. Tonight, I’m not sure if she was playing herself or channeling Carrie Bradshaw, but either way, she looked like the sophisticated, savvy New York City girl in Los Angeles. She brought her rays of sunshine with her, and woo’ed the crowd in her Chanel Couture gown and Fred Leighton jewels. The neckline was unlike anything I have ever seen, but the dress complimented with metallic rosettes in the front and back, was innovative, fun and dazzled on the carpet.
