Tidbits & Serendipity
Morsels of amusing or enlightening news items about jewelry culled from magazines with commentary by Cynthia!
Hoping to attract someone special? The July 2008 issue of Allure magazine states that “body language is a simple way to convey sexiness.” Adjusting your necklace “leads the eye to the feminine parts of your body without being vulgar,” the magazine suggest.
This is a great reminder of how beautifully a necklace can be employed to emphasize the attractiveness of the wearer.
The July 2008 issue of Harper’s Bazaar declares that statement necklaces are the “Buy of the Month”: “This season is all about the statement necklace, and we have bought into the madness. From sparkling stunners to heavy hardware, big and bold extras are the only way to go.”
There’s never been a better time to find a beautifully crafted necklace that may become one of your signature pieces.
In Style magazine’s special Spring 2008 issue, Look Your Best, includes a feature article “Fashion Myths Busted!” that contains some solid styling tips culled from discussions with a panel of trend-setting stylists. Finally, a magazine puts to rest the old adage attributed to Coco Chanel: “Before going out, remove one piece of jewelry.” Tim Gunn explains, “what she really meant was edit your look.” As In Style explains, “the trick is to embrace excess without going overboard.” Unless you’re extremely heavy-handed and pile own multiples upon multiples haphazardly, you probably got it right the first time.
Agreed. Your personality and your mood will enter into your determination of what feels right at a particular time. Embrace your inner diva!
