Michael Kors states, “something that is here to stay in the jewelry world is the idea of modern sculptural jewelry.” After viewing his brand new Fall 2011 jewelry collection, I would have to agree! Offering women’s earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, Michael Kors will further his partnership with Fossil, initiated during the fall 2004 launch of the Michael Kors watch line. The new line entails chain details and mixed textures, such as, leather with python and leather or tortoise mixed with hardware to give a “rock and roll equestrian attitude.” Describing “accessories as the exclamation point of a woman’s outfit,” Michael Kors notes that he can “deliver the full spectrum of the Michael Kors vision for a truly fabulous look.”

Beginning in August, you will be able to feel chic and beautiful in the newest luxury jewelry line, ranging from $100-$500. The collection will be available in select Michael Kors boutiques worldwide, as well as, sold through limited domestic and European wholesale partners.

Jill Stuart achieves color-blocking in a remarkable way for her Fall 2011 collection. Stuart uses vibrant jewel tones, such as, teal, red, emerald, and amber, while combining a little sparkle in a pleated ensemble. A fairy tale came to life, as a literal animal theme decorated below-the-knee silk dresses with large printed owls and foxes. Complimenting the animal inspiration from Heidi Specker’s photos of the Black Forest in Germany, Stuart’s collection had “Bambi” deer furs, leather accents, and chunky knits that are perfect for the fall. Jill Stuart’s Fall 2011 collection is feminine, flirty, chic, and made for the fashion-forward woman.

Ten finalists strutted down the runway at Macy’s Herald Square at the Wilhelmina 40+ Model Search for a chance to win a contract with Wilhelmina Model Agency, a trip to New York City, a makeover with Randall Christensen (Dancing with the Stars costume designer), a $1,000 Macy’s gift card, $1,000 worth of cosmetics from Estée Lauder, and a $1,000 wardrobe from Miraclesuit.  This particular model search, hosted by the charmingly-hilarious celeb stylist and TV personality Robert Verdi, focused on finding the next top model over the age of 40. Women ranging from 40 to 54 years old took the runway by storm in beautiful swimwear by Miraclesuit and designs by Christensen. The models projected confidence, class, and style, which could inspire any individual at any age to take the challenge and pursue a dream. This truly proves that age is just a number and fashion is beautiful on everyone

[Winner, Jaqueline Depaul]

I agreed with Verdi when he openly described winner, Jaqueline Depaul, 41, from California, as a Countess [from the Real Housewives of New York] look-alike. Depaul looked like a modeling natural and had a fabulous amount of fun and flirty sophistication to her. Diana Capozzi, 40, from Massachusetts was first runner-up and Kimberly Clark, 40, from Illinois, was second-runner up.
