Why not celebrate V-Day with a little *BLING*!
Well what do we have here! Two fab ladies collaborating on a jewelry collection! Designer Rachel Roy and songstress Estelle have teamed up to create a super feminine but edgy jewelry line; and Rachel’s Facebook Fans were granted the privilege this morning to be the first to shop the limited edition collection!
If you want access go ahead and be-friend Rachel Roy on Facebook, then click on the Rachel +Estelle tab to preview and purchase various ear cuffs, statement rings and necklaces from the line that will officially debut this March. The pieces retail between $34 to $50 so its easy on the wallet (yay!). This special event will run from February 9- 11th, but I’m sure these pieces will sell out fast so you better get to steppin’!

I usually try not to bash celebrities but… what is going on here? Is she OK??? Someone needs to look into that. Anyway, I guess Jean Paul Gaultier wasnt the only one recently inspired by Apocalypto. Her stylist gets a #Fail for this one, sorry…=/
^^The inspiration^^??
Kanye’s been rockin’ these rings pretty hard! Created by a Tokyo-based design collective labeled Ambush, their website states that they use “18K gold, platinum, diamonds and other precious stones, they designed their own comical renditions of the mainstream Hip Hop jewelry popular at the time. Their diverse range of fans include celebrities and discriminating buyers alike, in and out of Japan.” Check out their retailers here.
So I’m in “like!” I know Kanye’s known to have somewhat of a “flamboyant” sense of style, but I think these may be do-able for the average brother. What do you men think? Can you see yourselves rockin’ these? The particular ring kanye is wearing below is the “Eye Am Not Alone” knuckle ring retailing for $210.
BTW Kanye and Amber are so cute! Looks like they’re still going strong, and I’m not mad at it =)

Definetly one of my favs of the S/S 2010 Couture Runways was Jean Paul Gautier! There was a serious “urban warrior” vibe going on here, and my chrystal ball is forecasting that shoulder jewelry is gonna blow up this season! Also, watch out for slave bracelets! These are bracelets that connect from the wrist to the fingers via chains (check them out in the image gallery below). Stacked bangles were also in full effect!
I couldn’t help but think the Jean Paul crew got some of their inspiration for this collection from Mel Gibson’s movie Apocalypto, particularly from the scene where the captures are going through the city. I see a lot of jade and beads. Compare the pics below!
Do you see the similarity? Loves it! Check out the gallery for more!
