Stella Hits Hollywood

When you see that Stella & Dot has hit the Red Carpet Fashions, you know its a brand to have in your jewelry box. Not to mention, hosts and contestants on some of the top mainstream media shows have incorporated Stella into their style, consistently. 

Stella & Dot's new Spring 2010 line launched barely two weeks ago, however, reporter Giuliana Rancic has already added a piece to her E! News wardrobe. Giuli is wearing the Sayulita Statement Necklace in brown and shows us just how simple it is to wear a statement piece.  She fashioned this necklace with the cluster of Swarovski crystals on her right, but as you can see from the catalogue photo above, you can wear it on either side. Notice how she paired this turquoise and chocolate colorway with a knit dress in plum. Style Sense: she proves you don't have to wear this piece with just brown and turquoise! Expand your color matching skills!

We all sit with our jaws dropped at the fabulous jewels that dazzle the red carpet knowing there is no way we can reach in our pockets and impulse purchase the pieces from Neil Lane, Cartier, and Chopard that these celebrities are wearing. That is, until Stella & Dot came along!  Once again, Giuliana Rancic goes high style in an affordable way! She has paired her couture gown with Stella & Dot's Grace Pearl Bauble Bracelet . For just $89 you can get her award-stunning look.

No matter what the age, you can still splurge on style! Bachelorette, Jillian Harris and talk show host, Barbara Walters, are featured wearing Stella & Dot's Turquoise Sea Necklace two completely different ways. Jillian shows the simplicity of this necklace as she pairs it with a basic tank as Barbara dresses it up with a blazer and a risky pop of color with her flower brooch.  Once again, this goes to show you can mix statement colors and still pull it off! 

Barbara continues to use Stella & Dot for her finishing touches and this time she does it along with Debra Messing. Both celebrities are featured here wearing the Delilah Necklace . This is a fabulous statement piece and is full trend with the turquoise color for Spring 2010. Hues of greens, jade and turquoise work together to create this stunning style. 

Entourage star, Debi Mazar, wears baubles of pearls around her neck at the Golden Globe Awards with the Sofia Pearl Bib Necklace.  You can wear this piece alone or add the Bardot Flower from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection like the photo to the right shows above.  Or, utilize the barrette on the flower and wear it in your hair to compliment the necklace. 

Pantone Paints Pretty Spring Palette

Pantone is one of the leading color forecasters in the industry. Each season they come out with an extensive color report with fun guides and color standards for each trend. Spring 2010 will ring in pops of fresh and vibrant colors while maintaining a balance of neutrals. The palette in its entirety is reminiscent of the 1950's and 1960's where a positive economic growth was in sight. Present day is reflective of these 20th century decades where we hope to anticipate growth and strive for a world free of animosity.

Turquoise, yet again, makes a presence in the list of colors for the upcoming Spring season. Which means, you can roll over some pieces from last spring as turq was a prominent color in 2009 as well. The supporting colors are reminiscent of nature with Tomato Puree (above) and Aurora yellow, symbolizing the stunning hues of the sun. You will see ocean-tone blues and blushing corals as well as romantic violets (pictured right sketch) which represent a lighter take on the bold plums from fall. Pragmatic basics like Tuscany, Pink Champagne, Dried Herb and Eucalyptus balance out the excitement of the fashion colors and act as a backdrop for the more conservative consumer.

These colors will shine rays of hope and reflections of a new sun with its soft but spirited palette in hopes the economy will take the same approach. Step out of the doom and gloom of fall where fashion colors were the backdrop to angry basics like black and charcoal greys. Stella & Dot will follow in the same path as leading couture designers and continue to keep bold turquoise hues in their jewelry line for spring. Stella's popular selling necklace is the Charlize Bib Necklace, pictured below and adorned by Heiress Paris Hilton, that will continue to be carried in the spring line among other turquoise treasures.
