Gem Theory

A lil bling goes a long way. I'm not really a huge fan of draping yourself in jewels a la Elizabeth Taylor. You shouldn't be a reflective surface when you're young.
Leave that to fading movie stars and Texas trophy wives.

That said, I'm feeling the baubles popping up all over the runway.

I love the belt Lagerfeld created in his Fendi Fall '07 collection. It cinches the coat well and is the perfect accessory to rock over a simple black dress. I'm also enamored with the bright blue wedges Lagerfeld used for this look. The accessories are stellar and are given the spotlight while the coat and tights serve as the foundation.


An easy way to add some glitz to your get up is with a headband.
The front headband is from Marc Jacobs, he knows what a girl wants. This shot from Teen Vogue shows a quick way to go from an average student in leggings to glamorous.

This net headband is probably more than you spent on books this quarter so check out this number from Fredflare.com for only $5. You'll look super glam and could even buy a few for your buds.

You can slip on this light blue ring from Banana Republic adding Wattage to your manicured nails for $42.
