A huge thank you goes out to Danielle Prescod of Elle.com for including my emoji single stud earrings in her “Style Splurge, Style Steal” feature today! The $35 earrings are the steal; a gorgeous Sergio Rossi sandal selling for $1,150 is the splurge. I’m glad that Danielle singled out my middle finger emoji earring in…
Customer of the Day: Terri Berry and Her Fruit Necklace
The customer of the day is my own gorgeous sister, Terri Berry. (No, Berry is not her real last name. I wish!) She surprised me with this photo of her 18K yellow gold and garnet pomegranate/peace sign necklace. This design dates back to 2008, if not earlier. I love to see people enjoying their jewelry…

My Best Dressed at the SAG Awards … Plus Armgina!
There was no contest. My Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for the Screen Actors Guild awards goes to Kerry Washington. Remember, to get this prestigious award, a beautiful outfit doesn’t suffice. Your look has to be eye-catching — even controversial. Pregnant Kerry scored with a Prada crop top and skirt, because a crop…

Jewels of the Month: Single Earrings, Cleopatra Style
Now that the red-carpet crowd is catching on to my single-earring obsession, it’s time to officially offer a statement-earring companion to all my single studs. January’s Jewels of the Month are my shoulder-brushing single Cleopatra earrings in silver, or in 18K yellow gold with diamonds. Last August, I suggested wearing one of my 4 1/2″…
At Least I’m Consistent: ’80s Influences and Flower Feet
Yesterday, when I wrote (again!) about my enduring fondness for ’80s-style single earrings, I mentioned that I am sometimes more subtly influenced by my love of ’80s fashion. For instance, I was unexpectedly taken down an ’80s path by the floral-printed Givenchy handbag that hyp-mo-tized me during Thanksgiving window-shopping. This weekend, my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB,…

Okay, here’s one more Golden Globes-related post because I’m so pleased to see Vogue recognizing the single-earring trend on the red carpet. Emma Watson, Amber Heard and Adèle Exarchopoulos of Blue Is the Warmest Color were all representing. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I was a huge fan of…
Celebrate Breaking Bad’s Golden Globes With Heisenberg’s Hat!
I was pleased when Breaking Bad won twice at the Golden Globes last night. The show took the Globe for Best Television Series – Drama, and its star, Bryan Cranston, won Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama, for his performance as chemistry-teacher-turned-meth-kingpin Walter White. (I thought Aaron Paul should have won for supporting…
My Best Dressed at the Golden Globes: Emma Watson
In 2012, I invented my Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award and bestowed it upon Piper Perabo and her sheer ballgown at the Golden Globes. You can’t just wear a pretty dress to win this prestigious award! Your look has to be interesting too. Being controversial is a big plus. I enjoy a red-carpet…
