Looking for a great gift to give your fashionista family member or friend this holiday? I know Jewelry by Orly can create something amazing for you.
Orly a native from California always had a passion for fashion, especially jewelry. She is inspired by COLOR, vintage clothing and estate jewelry. Orly mentioned to me "I have expensive taste, but since I can't afford gems, diamonds, and 14K gold at the moment, I use materials that emulate the elegance of fine jewelry, such as semi precious stones and gold-plate that sparkle and shine just as much as precious gems do!"
Jewelry by Orly's most popular items:
Hair Glitter- Can be worn as a headband or necklace. Purpose is to have something delicate and sparkly in your hair to add the extra glow and make you feel like a princess :)
Gold Bubble- The ultimate statement necklace. Eye-catching colors and unique texture.
Scatter- easy layering piece. On vintage-esqe brass curb link chain with scattered shiny charcoal glass beads and one randomly placed pearl.
Looking for a New Years Dress or just need to spruce up your winter wardrobe with some edgy clothes at affordable prices, go to the Twinkle by Welen Pop Up Shop and shop till you drop!
Twinkle is seen on Shopbop and boutiques all around the country.
Embellished Leather gloves are the hot ticket item this season. They are an easy way to update and add edginess to your outfit. Try wearing it with your favorite party dress or any jacket (leather, fur, fitted blazer, or a chunky knit sweater).

Jane Basch has been designing in the fashion and Jewelry industry for 30 years. I noticed her amazing pieces on Debra Messing from the hit TV series The Starter Wife. I had to contact Jane because her jewelry was so fun and modern. It was like nothing I have seen before. And Jane herself is so sweet and talented.Her vision and insight into the fashion world has led her to develop the "Indulge" collection of original jewelry designs. Her success is based on her philosophy that her creations should be fun and whimsical.
MONOGRAM YOURSELF with Jane's creations:
I love this 14k gold cutout "L", this piece is great for layering with other gold chains. I actually have this silver and I am obsessed with it.

She also has other small cutout pendents that great to wear for everyday.

Here are some photos from a fashion shoot I did recently, the look of the shoot was dark glamour. Liz Marz was the makeup artist, she did an amazing job! If you ever need your makeup done, contact her at Arrojo Salon. The photographer Oleg Igorin was a lot of fun to work with and the hairstylist David from Arrojo also did a fabulous job!! And I can't forget our model, she is the new Prada girl. We really lucked out!!!
The Michael Jackson movie is finally in theaters, I am so excited to see it! I thought I would do a fashion tribute to Michael Jackson. MJ always knew how to take fashion to the next level, he was a true fashion innovator. His ensembles were always memorable and made a statement. The King of Pop may he RIP, still continues to influence the fashion world.

Being fashionable doesn't always mean you have to look like you walked off a catwalk or be dressed like Victoria Beckham. Alexander Wang, one of the hottest designers in the industry is always changing the look of fashion. In his Spring 2010 fashion show Wang emphasized the look of "comfy glamour" with oversized sweatshirts and making them sexy. Who would think that a sweatshirt could look so good. I love the khaki bustier over the heather grey sweatshirt, great combination! You dont have to splurge on Alexander Wang's creation you can easily copy this look. Just purchase a large grey sweatshirt so the sleeves are big (like shown below) and take in a few inches so the sweatshirt is form fitting and then wear any bustier you have over it. Remember to wear it with the right accessories, pants, and shoes. Keep it simple and sexy.

Lace has become one of Fall's hottest trends. The lace trend appeared in Prada's Fall '08 collection and since then its popularity rose. Lace is appearing everywhere; fashion runways, red carpet events, and the streets of Paris and New York. It has become a huge fashion statement. Fashion designers are reinventing the look of lace by using it with edgier silhouettes and colors. In Louis Vuitton's Fall 2009 collection, Marc Jacob the creative director, designed a blue cocktail dress with black lace. I think the color and fabric combination is brilliant, it creates a feminine but tough look. Also, Opening Ceremony designed a dress that is quite similar to Louis Vuitton's blue cocktail dress, the Latern Dress. This dress is so unique, it is described as flirty yet undeniably sophisticated. I love the cut out blue sweetheart top with fitted black lace top.

Animals prints are not just a trend anymore, they are becoming a fashion classic. Many fashion designers use animals prints in their couture creations such as Lanvin, Dolce and Gabanna, Blumarine and many more. The two popular animal prints we see in designer collections and stores are the Leopard and Zebra print, but we sometimes forget about snake, tiger, giraffe. Animal prints should be worn in small doses, don't overload on it, unless you are strutting down a runway. Keep it simple and understated.

As a fashion enthusiast, I want people to see fashion through my lens. I am currently pursuing a career in fashion styling and personal shopping. I want people to know that fashion can be for fun. I believe its purpose is to make us feel good, whether it be designer pieces or a shirt from your your local thift store, you should always feel good in what you wear. It is all about the confidence and how you carry yourself. Fashion just helps us express that.
