The third time was the charm (or necklace or bracelet) for jewelry designer Pamela Love at last night’s 2013 CFDA Awards at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York City. Hosted by Bravo’s Andy Cohen, this eagerly awaited annual event is a “who’s who” of American style, known as much for its chic guest list and glamorous celebrity hobnobbing as for its recognition of the year’s most feted fashion designers.

Love received the Swarovski Accessories Designer of the Year Award for her work’s uniquely modern perspective, which embraces individual spirituality through diverse influences, ranging from world architecture to alchemy to American folklore, while maintaining a commitment to sustainability and localized production. Love was in exceptional company, alongside Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty for Suno and Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne for Public School, recipients of Swarovski Awards for womanswear and menswear, respectively. The Swarovski Awards for Emerging Talent fete rising starts in the industry and claim a host of prominent alumni, including recent winners Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, Joseph Altuzarra, Phillip Lim, and Tabitha Simmons.

The evening’s highlights included the presentation of the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from Ralph Lauren to Vera Wang, as well as the Founders Award presented to Oscar de la Renta by Hillary Clinton–perhaps the most celebrated attendee of the night.

Happy Friday, everyone! We posted these fabulous pearls on Instagram & Tumblr the other day, but you can’t even picture their true beauty without first imagining the perfect outfit to pair with them. Tiffany & Co.’s Ziegfeld collection is an ode to the roaring 20′s – pitch perfect for the Gatsby fever that’s been circulating for the past 2 years. It’s brought to its feverish height by The Great Gatsby’s movie premiere this month, and we can’t think of any outfit more perfect for these pearls than a slinky shift and stilettos, all inspired by the Golden Age. The questions, then, would you wear this beautiful Tiffany Ziegfeld pearl necklace with this Addison laced dress or that Parker ‘Hayden’ dress? Your weekend, your choice!

Burberry Watches to Go Luxury at BaselWorld

Burberry has long been known for their fashionable items and accessories, so it should come as no surprise that the fashion brand is looking to expand their line of luxury watches at BaselWorld. In a departure from their very popular fashion line, Burberry watches are expanding their fine timepieces.

Burberry is looking to keep the actual watches themselves under wrap until they’re ready for launch. All we know at this point is that we can expect a big marketing campaign that emphasizes the brand’s history of innovation and the long-running heritage of the British fashion maker.

When the brand first debuted their Britain watches late last year, the high-end consumer world was stunned by the exquisite quality and appearance of the timepieces. We don’t know what the new watches look like, but we can be sure that the line will be associated with the same class, style and elegance as everything else put out by the brand.

Anyone looking to be there at the premiere will want to book their trip quick. BaselWorld is going to be packed with media and fashion elite all trying to get first look at the new watches. There’s no telling if there will be any room left for another looky-loo come showtime.

The Best Valentine’s Day Outfits

February 5, 2013 11:21 am , Leave a Comment , Raymond Lee Jewelers

Valentine’s Day is a romantic, exciting and fabulously indulgent holiday that many couples anticipate with glee. Alongside chocolates, flowers and sparkly gifts, the most common way your lover will celebrate this passionate evening is by reserving a table for the two of you at a favorite candlelit restaurant. But what are you supposed to wear for this enchanting evening? Flatter your figure while fulfilling his fantasies in one of these gorgeous high-end looks.

The Lolita

Red is seductive and powerful, but a charmingly girlish cut helps balance a sultry look with ease. Tease your beau’s uncontrollable wandering gaze with a décolletage-framing low-cut dress but modify the impression with some feminine and youthful cap sleeves and an hourglass enhancing circle skirt. The Issa dress is one example of this look; you can find it at Stylebop.com

The Vixen

Loose the reins entirely with a traffic stopping, figure hugging and intention stating bandage dress that follows your every move. A unique and fashion-forward neckline draws your darling’s eyes upwards, but you will have to do most of the talking. He will almost certainly be at a loss for words. Herve Leger designs the most iconic bandage dress in fashion history, try this red version on for size.

The Classic

The classic little black dress, it is iconic and effortless. Though you may have a selection of options lined up in your closet, a freshly updated version in time-honored satin looks deliciously touchable on your skin. Opt for the trendy one-shoulder style to reveal an added hint of sex appeal, like this one at White House Black Market.

Revel in your love, celebrate your passion and show your gratitude this Valentine’s Day with a stunning and enticing date night outfit he is unlikely to forget until next year.

Coco Chanel’s Baroque Costume Jewelry Inspires Chanel Bijou Eyewear Line

January 4, 2013 6:00 am , Leave a Comment , Raymond Lee Jewelers

Fans of Coco Chanel can look forward to a stunning new line of eyewear inspired by the fashion house’s famous baroque costume jewelry. The Bijou collection sunglasses will be made available in early 2013.

The Baroque style of art emerged in early 17th-century Italy, and is commonly associated with the Catholic church and religious works of the era. Artists practicing the style favored exaggerated lighting, and an almost excessive use of emotions. They were meant to depict grandeur almost to the point of sensationalism. This painting by Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio, titled “Martha and Mary Magdalene” captures the emotionalism and action depicted in Baroque artwork.

Karl Lagerfeld has previously turned to to the Baroque style’s use of highly-ornamented details with the costume jewelry he designed for Coco Chanel, such as this pair of pearl earrings.

Lagerfeld seems to always be ahead of the fashion curve, as he designed these earrings in the early 1980s, but the Baroque style seems to be making a surge in the fashion world.

The Bijou Collection line of sunglasses will be made in a number of Spring-friendly pastels, including lilac, turquoise, and pink. Sunglasses in the line will feature hand-carved, gold or palladium metal work at the arms and temples, complete with the signature double-C of Coco Chanel.
