Get the Look: Emmy 2013 Red Carpet Looks

get the look: emmy’s looks we love in blue

 

TV’s Leading Ladies Looked Stunning in Many Hues of Blue! We especially loved the blue hued looks worn by Allison Williams, seen in Ralph Lauren’s pleated blue gown this fresh from the runway look shown just weeks ago in his Ralph Lauren Spring 2014 runway show.  We also loved seeing Tina Fey, in any color other than black, in fact we were so wild for Tina in cobalt blue, Narcisco Rodriguez bias-cut halter gown that we barely noticed her on stage Sunday night nip slip; so nip slip or not Tina rocked this bold blue look! Other standout blue hues we loved were those worn by Nurse Jackie’s, Edie Falco, in Escada’s periwinkle blue curve loving look to the light blue hues worn by Zoe Deschanel and “Mad Men’s” Jessica Pare. Cheers to all you leading ladies of the small screen who dared to be bold and brave stepping out and standing out from the rest in your gorgeous shades of blue for Sunday night’s  Primetime Emmy Awards!  You too can look great in blue with beautiful vintage blue jewelry from Laura James Jewelry!

OMG…Gossip Girl Glam “Gaslit”

I have to say as much as I can’t stand Little “J” and this whole Goth look she’s had going for the past season and half; I do have to hand it to her for being brave enough in last night’s episode to come clean to no other than Queen “B”, Blair, about what she, Vanessa, and nasty Juliet did to Serena! Therefor I figured due to her act of bravery in last night’s episode and rumors swirling that the teen queen may be leaving Gossip Girl, I could overlook my distaste of her Goth look and find something nice to say about Little J for this weeks Gossip Girl Glam Report…so pay close attention for this may never happen again!

In the photo above we see that her bravery not only pertains to facing Blair but also to her fashion sense, while I think the lip color is too harsh for her fair complexion, I do like that she was daring and brave enough to wear large Statement Dangle Earrings paired with a large Statement Pendant Necklace.  Many are hesitant to try this look but Little J pulls off the look without looking over accessorized!

So if you dare to be brave like Little J know you can always find your perfect pair of large Vintage Statement Dangle Earrings and large Vintage Statement Pendant Necklaces at www.laurajamesjewelry.com.

NYC Editorial Suite Update!

Ok, so to give you all an update on my recent trip to NYC (see earlier blog below) to showcase Laura James Jewelry to the many fantastic editors and writers for the likes of InStyle, O, Elle, Marie Claire publications, the trip was a huge success! The Editorial Suite at the Bryant Park Hotel is a wonderful opportunity for the editors to see and touch the jewelry in person- which always makes a difference as opposed to merely seeing photos online or flipping through books of photos. It is also important to meet the editors face to face, especially if your name is your brand!

All of the editors were as usual decked out in the latest trends from head to toe- which is always intimidating, however they are nothing but nice and full of compliments which takes the edge off. Many times they will pull jewelry on site for upcoming features and rapidly take photos of the lines that they like for future issues. Laura James Jewelry received great attention and we are excited with fingers crossed to see what happens this year!

Cheers!

Laura James

 

OMG…Gossip Girl Glam “Juliet Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”

 

Juliet may not live here anymore but she most certainly made the most of her last minutes dazzling in the Vintage Statement Necklace seen in photo above which she paired with a grand Cocktail Ring, worn on her first finger,  a sure fire attention grabbing combo perfect for the opening night at the Ballet!  So here’s to you Juliet! You take top honors in our Gossip Girl Glam Poll for the week, however count yourself lucky that your behavior is not taken into account for this award for your antics should have you band from the Upper East Side for Life…oh but wait Blair, Chuck, Serena, and Nate did banish you so it is a just world after all!   Enjoy your last moments of Glam while we highlight other Glam looks from last nights episode!

Glam Spotlight Shone Bright on These Looks from Last Night too:

While I was not wild about the dress I did love Serena’s Statement Vintage Art Deco Earrings she paired with this look therefore gaining her place on our weekly spotlight list.

I will give an A for effort for trying to make Vanessa look like she belonged at the Opening Night of the Ballet or anywhere near the Upper East Side, and I did truly like the Dangle Earrings paired with this dress, but still we all know she is nothing but a she-wolf in sheep’s clothing.  So it’s only fitting that she and Juliet, this week’s Gossip Girl Glam Poll Winner, will be teaming up to try to take down Serena in episodes still to come this season!

So until next week keep “Glam” with Jewelry from Laura James Jewelry Studio Boutique in historic Dilworth in Charlotte, NC or online at www.laurajamesjewelry.com

OMG Gossip Girl Glam “Taste of Eva”

 

 

Just a “Taste of Eva” was more than enough for Blair on this week’s episode of Gossip Girl… has Blair gone too far this time exposing Eva’s past? Has Blair lost Chuck forever?  I sure hope not! With the way things went down last night I bet Eva wishes she kept that gorgeous Cartier watch Chuck gave her (but hindsight’s 20/20). And yes I know she’s a do-gooder and gave it up to help someone else (which I completely respect but you do have to admit it was an amazing watch)! Before I get sidetracked again lets give it up for the Statement Necklace, which is spotlighted in this episode of Gossip Girl. Statement Necklaces were seen being worn by both Serena and Juliet… and both necklaces made the girls dresses look that much more amazing at the Chuck Bass rooftop charity event.  A Statement Necklace is always a great choice for making an entrance into a room or making your presence known at a party! So in closing… thank you Gossip Girl for exposing us to Eva’s past and to the power of the Statement Necklace this week. Until next week keep Gossip Girl Glam with vintage jewelry from Laura James Jewelry Studio Boutique in historic Dilworth in Charlotte, NC or online at www.laurajamesjewelry.com.

Mad for Mad Men’s Vintage Style “Waldorf Stories”

Before revealing what we are Mad for in this weeks episode of “Mad Men” it must first be pointed out that…..Real life mimicked art this past Sunday; or at least that proved true for both the cast and characters of “Mad Men”.  While in Mad Men’s Episode 6: “Waldorf Stories” where we saw the Mad Men take home a win & Clio Award for their Glo-Coat commercial; at the same time in real life we saw the cast and show of “Mad Men” take home the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series!  Congratulations on the win to all involved with this amazing show!!!

So in keeping with premise above that real life mimicked art this week for both the characters and cast of “Mad Men” we were Mad for Peggy Olson/Elizabeth Moss’s vintage style. Her vintage style was seen not only in the “Waldorf Stories” episode, with her great white hat to the amazing vintage gold tone statement stud earrings, but carried over to her look on the Emmy’s Red Carpet wearing Donna Karen’s beautiful nude colored gown.  From Peggy’s pose in this shot from the episode to this beautiful shot of Elizabeth striking a pose for photogs on the red carpet one thing is clear…she is a true vintage screen siren!!!!

Regardless which you are, if your Peggy looking to be fashionable around the office in great pair statement stud earrings or Elizabeth striking a pose on the Red Carpet we have jewels to suit all your looks at Laura James Jewelry Studio Boutique, in historic Dilworth in Charlotte or online at www.laurajamesjewelry.com.
