Amber is one of the oldest gemstones in the world, dating back to prehistoric times. There are several colors including green, red and even black. Bright transparent yellow is considered to be the most desirable and expensive color of amber, and of course, the most beautiful. It warms all skin tones and is rich and complex to the eye, making this gorgeous accessory flattering for all.

A Walk On The Wild Side

imageThe latest trends have all been about making a statement. Whether you’re usually the rough rebel gal, or the demure sweetie-pie, clothes and accessories in bold metallics, vibrant hues and simulating patterns have been popping up in all types of styles, making all of us show-stopping, head-turning fashionistas!

One of the boldest prints that’s a must-have this season is leopard print. Leopard print everything is in fashion, from bags and shoes to silky tops and even head-to-toe dresses. A few small accessories gives any ensemble a wild edge, while an animal print dress truly makes a statement.

Keep other prints and colors to a minimum in order to keep from competing with this already bold print. Do try mixing different textures, like slick leggings with a shiny bangle for extra spice! Click on the slideshow to see some of our fave leopard and animal print pieces!

Beauty Pick Me Up – From Sexy To Spooky!

imageObviously the costume itself has a lot to do with how well you can pull off a look or character come this weekend when you’ll be making an appearance at a few spooky soirees. But what really gives a costume the extra ‘oomph’ and makes it truly memorable is the make-up that goes with it.

Halloween make-up is all about going over-the-top and making your look eye-catching and unforgettable! Use dark powders to help contour your face and Halloween is an occasion where the more lustrous and glitzy the fake lashes, the better. Liquid or gel liners help eye make-up stay put all night, and a creamy red lipstick is a true Halloween classic.

Plus, the great thing about make-up and cosmetics, is that you can tone it down and reuse them again for a day-to-day look or a girls night out and many might already be in your make-up bag!

Get The Winning Look From Our ‘Behind-the-Scenes’ Celeb Poll!

imageLast week, we caught some of the acting worlds most stylish stars filming behind-the-scenes and asked you to weigh in about who you thought was the most fashionable. Gossip Girl is popularly one of the most style conscious shows on TV and this week was truly a Serena vs. Blair show-down, much like we had predicted.

Poor Katie Holmes was shown no love from Hivers with a grand total of ‘not a single vote’. The classically styled Mrs. Cruise impressed in an eye-catching red sheath, but perhaps it was the funky footwear choice of moccasins that turned you off?

Leighton Meester was decent competition with 38% of the votes and was stylin’ in patterned lace tights and a sophisticated black and white plaid coat, plus jaunty beret. Yet, her trendy but girly look of military inspired mix and match patterns was no match at all for Blake Lively’s menswear inspired ensemble.

A cropped and fiitted blazer with trendy contrast piping, sleek tights under shorts, trendy blue suede oxfords and a mens’ tie were expertly put together to create a look that was youthful, modern and cohesive, without being over-the-top and cluttered.
