Beautiful Barbarela: Affordable Statement Necklaces

Beautiful Barbarella



Matthew Williamson empire waist a line dress / Giuseppe Zanotti open toe booties / Giuseppe Zanotti leather handbag / Necklace / Gucci fragrance / 


One of the nicest things about my Polyvore obsession, is all of the fantastic women I have gotten to "know" over the last year.  Their talents are abundant and so are their hearts.

It's particularly fun, when as a result of the their work on Polyvore, they have the opportunity to launch new career directions.

Such is the case with my friend Barberela from Bulgaria (click on her name to see her beautiful sets). This past year she launched an on line jewelry website, Barbarela Jewerly. I couldn't be happier for her! 

When you create a Polyvore set, you get to choose every element of the design.  When I was looking for something to embellish, this already ambitious Matthew Williamson dress, I was excited to find Barbarela Jewelry available to include.

Statement necklaces are definitely having a moment...there is nothing that will zshush a tee shirt or simple sheath faster:





Above are two stunners, the top from Lanvin and the bottom from J.Crew.  The only caveat is that they can range from hundreds to thousands...a lot of faux bling for the buck, and a trend du jour to boot.








Compare that to Barbarela's beautiful necklaces above, which range from $30-$50 and everything ships for free.

I also am crazy about her embellished leather braided bracelets that are in the $15-$20 range:



So next time you are looking for a lot of looking for the latest looks in fantastically priced fashion jewelry, please consider visiting Barbarela Jewelry.

I'm all about Girl Power and I love nothing more than to see my friends achieve their dreams...

Until next time...

Until next time...




One of my favorite Polyvore friends, Sheryl-Lee, created her own group called Star Styles.  Polyvore group moderators design contests that you can enter for the honor of win-place-show.

I have always been a great lover of the Arts, with a particular fondness for some of the great Impressionists, Degas, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot to name a few.  I am also a fan of Picasso,    Matisse, John Singer Sargeant, Klimt, Gauguin, Kahlo, Botero and many others

When Sheryl asked us to create a fashion set inspired by a painting from a favorite artist, it resonated with me immediately.  This set was inspired by Monet's Water Lilly paintings.  This stunning chiffon Matthew Williamson gown seemed pitch perfect.

Art and Fashion make beautiful music together, don't they?

We'll always have Paris...

We'll always have Paris...




This set was inspired by these Julia Louis Dreyfuss.  At the Emmy's last Sunday, she wore a beautiful bordeaux Vera Wang gown, but what really popped it, was the magnificent opal Irene Neuwirth earrings she wore with it:



When I saw this stunning pair on Irene Neuwirth's site on Polyvore, I knew I wanted to create my own ensemble to pair with them.

Lovely...no???
