It’s all about the Nails!


The latest trend these days is nails… you can find all kinds of colors… and not only that, now you can accessorize your nails with sparkles and textures I haven’t seen before. It became a real accessory after all!!!

And because I am obsessed with accessories I decided to learn more about the latest trend in nails.



I found out that you can still go with a traditional look…reds, purples and berries are very hot this fall!



Or you can add some sparkles and texture to your nails for special occasions or simply just for fun!




You can go a little bit more romantic and add some lace to your pink nails… so much fun!



And finally, for those who like a more exotic approach, you can pick the leopard, the tiger or the zebra and make your nails go crazy and sexy!

Nails, earrings, shoes, bracelets, rings or necklaces….whatever you like most, never forget to accessorize those everyday or glamorous looks!!

Olympics fashion review


I’m so sad the Olympics are over, I really enjoyed all sports and emotions that came with the winners and sadly with the ones that couldn’t make it to the medal stand; but we take with us great memories… and especially the fashion and glamour that we got to see at this 2012 London Olympics.

I have to start with the Royal family  (you may already know that I love them!) They attended most of the events and were present in plenty of the competitions. Of course Kate Middleton captured everyone’s attention with her fashionable looks at the different venues. William and Harry were also a great addition to the Olympics fashion.



And, the most important accessories at the Olympics? were the medals of course; the athletes from all around the world looked beautiful with that particular jewelry piece that will be with them forever. So, in pure Olympics fashion tradition and to carry on the games with your daily attire, I suggest gold, Silver and Bronze accessories!



How can I foget the host, London, a beautiful city that transformed itself completely to welcome all the Olympians and fans who gather there to enjoy different sports and competitions. This fashionable city adorned itself with beautiful lights and colors during the ceremonies and entertained people from all over the world with the best music of all times.



Finally I want to congratulate the competitors for such a great performance! They were a key ingredient to the success to such a magnificent and fashionable show!  



So I hope you enjoyed the London Olympics as much as I did; I will be patiently awaiting Rio, and in the meantime switch my fashion attention to other events, red carpets, or the city streets.

Fashion at the London Olympics


I am very exited about the Olympics; four years seem to be a loooong time for me… But now I’m enjoying the wide array of sports, but most importantly to dissect the fashion on the fields, pools, courts, etc but also at the paddocks, stands and sidelines.

Mainstream famous brands as well as exclusive designers have hefty contracts with entire nations, or at least with specific sports within a country, say gymnastics, synchronized swimming, tennis amongst others.

Rumor has it that Giorgio Armani is said to be designing for the Italian team (can’t wait to see that), and Ralph Laurent will repeat this time with Team USA. Also, well know designer Stella McCartey will dress in fashion the host nation team: Great Britain.



There will be different venues from the opening ceremony with starting flag barriers, the warm ups, the medal event and the closing ceremony. All in fashion and glamour. But how about accessories?  How would you accessorize each team? You can just go with casual attire? Jewelry can make any outfit a fashion statement. So my recommendation will be to accessorize the looks with the following pieces:






Enjoy the Olympics and the fashion that comes with it!

B stands for “Beauty” and “10”



I have always wondered why Sergio Gutierrez, the master mind artist behind the amazing Liquid Metal jewelry named his best seller bracelet B10, “the B10”?


It occurred to me that maybe it was a fixation with WWII aircrafts and powerful bombers; as you know all of them started with a capital letter B, followed by a number depicting size an bombing capacity; yes this bracelet is a bombshell but it wasn’t it.



I then explored if it was as a tribute to the infamous rock-ska-punk-gone commercial group the B-52’s, but after inquiring, that’s definitely not Sergio’s music taste.
I kept playing around with numbering, sequencing, code breaking attempts, but in reality I was probably over-thinking it.



The reality is much simpler than that, just like Sergio: the B stands for Bracelet, and the 10 is the sequencing number as the designs were created.
Some may say it’s boring, so I’m sorry if I spoiled the mystery. Let me make it up to you by offering an alternative ending to the story:

B stands for “Beauty” and “10”, well is just the number of perfection.




So be that perfect 10, and accessorize with Liquid Metal’s B10.

Wimbledon, London, Olympics, Jewelry and Fashion


The countdown has began and the London Summer Olympics are just around the corner; but another historic event its kicking off this week in the same grounds with same flare, glamour and stylish English fashion: Wimbledon, tennis all time favorite tournament. The women’s bracket is an even field, when we talked about the sport itself, but what about the fashion style each one of them brings? On this blog I will try to cover some of the top ranked female tennis players attending Wimbledon and also returning to London in a few weeks for the Olympics, but besides covering their odds of taking home the trophy, I will focus in their unique fashion taste in and off the court, and will do my best to pair them up with suggested accessories providing you ideas on how to also take some of that Wimbledon/London/Olympics vibe home.

Let me get started with my all time favorite Maria Sharapova. I’m so glad she’s back at the top of the list; ranked number one in the world, she is by far not only the best current player, but the most elegant female athlete in and off the court.




Her classy skirts and dresses along with her tall and fit figure make for an astonishing look; for Maria, I will go with Katch Collection’s cuff and earrings pairing; my recommendation will be to accessorize and match her style by wearing the Enchanted cuff along with the matching Posh earrings; just the perfect combination for this Russian superstar.

Number two in the world is Azarenka, from Belarus; this 22 year old superstar is ready for revenge; after taking spot #1 spot last year, she has struggled with the pressure and fall to #2; rumor has it that she is solely focused on Wimbledon’s grass surface in order to regain tennis supremacy.



For her this youngster beauty I suggest pairing up a delicate N15 necklace by Liquid Metal, along with matching bracelet B10 and earrings E16; off-course this is recommended for off the court fashion, but you never know.

And last but not least on my review, Serena Williams; she’s now ranked #6 in the world, but Serena can take on any tournament even if not ranked, and regardless she will make a fashion statement. People may like or dislike her style, but one thing is sure, Serena will take her fashion sense into the court and play as comfortable as if she was not fully accessorized.



And for Serena, I will go flashy, sparkling, fashion statement, not to even chance to go unnoticed. I will go all the way with a wide bracelet from Sergio Gutierrez’ Liquid Metal B11, paired along with symmetric N5 necklace and extra large earrings E31; yes she will be an icon.
Now for you, enjoy Wimbledon, enjoy fashion, good tennis, and be ready for the London Summer Olympics, and don’t forget to accessorize “on and off” the court!
