While searching Macys.com recently, I noticed that there now is a ‘Shop By Statement’ Jewelry filter! I thought this was pretty cool, since I’m all about statement jewelry, and seem to definitely garner the most compliments from these pieces. The price points are in the $30s to a few hundred dollars, and the styles also offer a nice variety. My favorite?
This Rachel Rachel Roy Hemamtite Necklace, $195, but I also love:

Tia Cibani truly captures the downtown NYC vibe in her Ports 1961 Resort Collection for the 2011 season. Each piece is a beautiful combination of edginess and sophistication — with the innovative draping and geometric structures, this collection is a celebration for both gender equality and modern androgyny. Artfully draped sheaths are perfect for the heat of the Caribbean or a night out on the town-take a peek below!

I was scrolling through the pages of NeimanMarcus.com and melted at the sight of the Valentino Bow-Topped Over-the-Knee Boot. Amidst the other over-the-knee varieties, this sleek import of Italy stood out by more than 21″ due to its beautiful showcasing of a large bow.
Now, I’ll be honest — I’m not really a bow type of girl. My ballet flats never had a dainty bow on the toe and my coats always buckle or button shut, never tie into a bow. But these Valentino boots have swayed my anti-bow sentiments. I now find an over-sized bow to be daringly fashionable and who doesn’t like to push the boundaries every once in awhile, right?
But with my inspiration over-the-knee boots pushing over $1,500, these blushing bowed beauties are a bit out of reach to the normal gal who has to pay her cell phone bill, rent, and metro card, at the very least. So instead of devising get rich quick schemes, I decided to go on a bountiful bow scavenger hunt! If we can’t have the bows of Valentino, we shall find our bows elsewhere! Here’s what I came up with — which one is your favorite?

I’m not one to swoon over delicate jewelry, beads, or overly-girly fabrications of any sort. I like my jewelry with an edge, and have found the perfect balance of feminine and hardcore with MiMi by Sorrelli’s new line of fabulous baubles. There are quite a few things on my wish list from the brand, however I can’t seem to take my eyes off of these MiMi by Sorrelli Industrial Layered Drop Earrings, $30.80. The mixed metal, the hammered facade, the dangling chains – yeah, I’m in love!
