High Heel Confidential

She has the bag. She has the clutch. So why not bangles or cuffs to go with them?

A lot of you wrote in asking about who Sonam’s jeweled bangle was by. Well, we are still looking for it but in the meantime, we wanted to share with you some others that would get you started…

The bad news is that a good jewelled cuff/bangle will cost you an arm and a leg but the good news is that a good one will be worth every penny!

…at the premiere of “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” had to be Jiah Khan who wore heavy gold jewelry from Anmol Jewellers with a scarf style dress..

Why can’t people keep their outfit simple when wearing heavy jewelry. I can’t believe I have to use Natasha from IIFA 2008 as an example for Jiah, but Natasha got her look right!

Next time Anmol jewellers decides to lend jewellery to someone, they should also lend the people coordinating outfits too!

‘Lakshmi’ wrote in to ask if we could help her find a more affordable option thats quite like the ‘Diorette Yellow Gold Ring’ and how she can wear it since its a ‘busy’ ring… so, here goes…

We love the Dior ring, its so whimsical and sort of crazy enough to totally work, but at $5,550.00 thats one heck of a price to pay! On the other hand, the Juicy Couture ‘Garden Party Ring’ is quite similar in principle and at $88.00 is far more affordable!

Since the ring itself is more of a statement piece, (or when wearing any such piece of jewelry) its important to keep the overall look clean, minimal, fuss-free and use of other accessories to a minimum.

Team it with a white summer dress for adding some chic summer punch! Either way, wear it with anything as long as colors are pastels and muted and stay away from prints. You don’t want too much going on!

And now, onto obsessing over that Diorette ring…

Twinkle Khanna

At the IIFA 2008 Awards we found Twinkle Khanna impeccably dressed and her use of accessories and has just about floored us!

For those of you who wrote in about her jewelry, its Kenneth Jay Lane!

Also, the part ‘crescent shaped-part horse-shoe shaped- part horn’ pendant also looks really familiar (I suspect that also is KJL) and if any of you spot it, do write in… :)

Liking how Mumtaz’s daughters dressed up their black dresses with accessories. Especially like Natasha’s traditional jewelry with the black dress, she makes it work!

Spotted Halle Berry wearing Amrapali earrings and ring while out and about recently. And its not the first time we’ve seen those on her either!

I love those earrings, especially the amethyst details on them! How would you wear them? Dressed down like Halle Berry did in the pictures above or dressed up like in the pictures below?

It shouldn’t ever happen, but it did. It wasn’t the dress but it was the jewelry. Both, Dita and Preity were spotted wearing the exact Chopard neckpiece at Cannes 2008. Uh oh! Which stylist let that happen!?

Edit: Kudos to Ash for spotting it on Dita and Nitika for spotting in on Caroline..

We first spotted Twinkle Khanna in high waisted pants at the Society Interior Awards, but it looked no where as great as it did on Jasmine Dawda at the party at ‘Wink’!

How fabulous is that jeweled flower detail on her back? Agreed its a little risqué but she wears it really well…

We love.

Other trends may come and go, but turquoise will remain the favorite color of summer. I wear mine with white to make the colors pop, just like Sonali. (I do wish her jacket was all white without the black buttons.)

Whether you prefer to wear light weight jewelry or a statement making piece, here are a few to get you started!
