Jewelry Trends for the Holidays

Saturday, December 29, 2012

With the holidays drawing near, everyone is scurrying off to get their shopping lists completed.  Stores are stocking their shelves with their best and brightest, coffee houses are brewing their special holiday blends, and jewelry stores are polishing up for their biggest season of the year. Every year there seems to be a new trend amongst jewelry.  A new list of must-have accessories.  Of course, when purchasing a gift you want to buy the latest and greatest for your friends, family, and even yourself.  Here is a break down to help you with this years holiday trends.

 Diamond Studs:  Some things will never go out of fashion, like diamond stud earrings.  Just like the little black dress, these earrings should be a staple in every women's wardrobe.  They are the accessories you can reach to no matter what the occasion.  Diamond studs are the perfect combination of subtlety and sophistication.

Stackable Rings:  The beauty of this accessory is in its versatility.  Stackable rings can be worn separately or together.  Depending on the mood or occasion, you can create any desired look.  To add meaning to the rings, attach charms that reflect the tastes or interests of the recipient, or yourself. 


Diamond Hoop Earrings:  Hoop earrings are a girl’s best friend.  They add that bit of spice and fun to any wardrobe.  You can pick from a range of sizes: small for a more understated look, or large for a more casual vibe.  Diamond hoop earrings look good on anyone; and are comfortable and easy to wear.


            Diamond Tennis Bracelets:  Tennis bracelets are timeless.  Adding this accessory to any women’s wardrobe will surely brighten up her holiday season.  If its a gift, you can go for a modern look if your recipient is very fashionable.  Or stick with a classic bracelet if simple and sleek is their style.  A diamond tennis bracelet, whether worn to the office or to a party, makes a statement of elegance.

            Take this advice, and come holiday season you’ll be sipping your latte while watching others battle the holiday rush.  Now there’s some holiday cheer. 


Cascading

(Dress: Karimadon// Earrings: F21// Ring: Envy// Purse: SM Accessories)

I got to transform myself into a dapper girl of the '20s during the Miss World Philippines coronation night last Sunday (I had to attend said event for work). Makeup artist and hairstylist, Camille Regala, helped me achieve the wavy hair that I wanted to complement the cascading ruffles on my dress. For the makeup, we went with a simple gold smokey eye and nude lip look. I felt so regal after changing into my dress and seeing the overall look with 1920's-inspired hair and makeup on. It felt good to look like a proper lady for a change. Haha! To be honest (and candid), I got a bit restless days before the event, stressing myself on finding an appropriate long dress. I didn't want to waste money on a designer dress that I know I will only get to wear once or twice. Fortunately, I found this lovely eggplant-colored dress in a local retail store. The dress may have been constructed from  basic jersey and chiffon but the craftsmanship and fit made up for the materials' simplicity. And the good thing was, the price tag on the dress didn't burn a hole on my wallet. Thank goodness.

The Miss World Philippines 2012 pageant was the first "beauty pageant" I've ever attended. I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it but surprisingly, I did. I had my beauty favorites and I was so pleased that all of them made it to the Top 5. I don't mind attending another beauty pageant event in the future. Just give me enough time to prepare a look please. Haha! 

P.S. Thank you to Camille for my hair & makeup and to Anton Aguila for the photos! Love you guys! 

P.P.S. Man, I've got to work on those chunky arms of mine. But it's so hard to find time for exercise! Argh.
