It’s that time of year again. The time when we dress up and either have too many cocktails among friends, or too few among colleagues. Or wait, maybe it always ends up being the opposite?

This past week was full of significant events. Some very dear friends celebrated the at first unexpected, and then very much anticipated, birth of their baby bundle of boy joy. My 5 foot tall, stubborn, spitfire of a grandmother celebrated her 99th birthday. And the 2009 Women’s Conference took place in Long Beach, California

An exquisitely crafted cuff bracelet can be a distinct statement jewelry piece. And it has recently become a trend, found resting on the wrist of so many people.

The best way to dress up your wrist this summer is with a dramatically glittering cuff bracelet.William Schraft does it best with this sterling silver and 18k gold cuff bracelet, bezel set with one faceted cushion icy green amethyst surrounded by gold filigree.

Here are the five must-haves for this season. This spring, add bunches of bangles, a yellow belt, wedge heels, an oversized bag and pendants to your wardrobe.

And who better to emulate than the lady that has grown from total wild child to become the definition of grace on the Red Carpet? All eyes are on Angelina Jolie and her absolutely fabulous emerald earrings. Lovely and long, glowing with sparkle. Take a note, and find these elegant baubles from Epsilon on Delamina.
