You didn't like to share as a child. Maybe you wrote your name across your Barbie's face so that your little sister would know it was yours. Things have changed but you still get huffy when another woman walks into the club with the same handbag as you (and take yours by mistake!). Fortunately you have more stylish options for personalizing your belongings than a Magic Marker. How do sterling silver and Swarovski crystals sound? Boca Raton custom jewelry designer Constance Hart Tisdale founded It's Myne, a new concept in wearable art. Her designer charms hook onto keychains, necklaces, handbags and whatever else you want to claim as yours. Design yours today and mark your territory.

 

So the Golden Globes was an hour long "press conference" ...  we can still critique what celebrities wear right? Of course! Here is my list of the best-dressed actresses:

Katie Holmes

Nicole Kidman

Reese Witherspoon

Lucy Liu

Jessica Alba

Rachel Bilson

Designer sales delivered to your inbox

Go ahead, shop it to me. No seriously. Shop It To Me is a new service that sends you emails when your favorite brands go on sale in your size. It’s like a free online personal shopper. While there are only certain designers to choose from, they have some really good ones like Prada, Ella Moss, Tahari, and Gucci from retailers like Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, Banana Republic, Zappos and Bluefly.  You’ll get an email either daily or weekly (depending on what you choose) when designer jeans, dresses, skirts, tops, shoes, handbags and jewelry go on sale in your size.

In a sea of sameness Jewelry is one way to set yourself a part. It’s also a subtle way to draw attention to, or away, from areas of the body. Have a fabulous decollete or cleavage? The Gold Y Marquis Necklace by Laura James Jewelry ($110) draws the eye down with a delicate 14k goldfilled chain and dainty marquis shaped gold drop.

While we haven’t seen piles of snow yet, the temps have dropped in many parts of the country. Even temperate climes get a little chilly at night--yes, even in California. Once the snowbanks bog us down, we often go from battling brute force winds to sweltering indoor heat. The best way to deal is by layering and choosing your accessories wisely.

Madison Los Angeles

What it is: Madison in Los Angeles offers designer clothing including shoes, handbags, & jeans, and is the coveted secret of celebrity stylists who rely on Madison’s generous inventory of the most renowned designers--and rising stars in the fashion world.

They have a bricks-and-mortar store on Melrose Avenue, Robertson Blvd, in Brentwood on San Vicente, and in Malibu. But they also have a fashion website, www.MadisonLosAngeles.com, for those of us who don’t have a Southern California zip code.

Large cocktail rings are a big hit right now. Wear one with a little black dress with tall boots for a sleek Uptown look. I love this Gold 1960's leaf cocktail ring by Alexis Bittar. Made out of Lucite cabochon set in gold-plated leaf detail make it one-of-a-kind.

Are you East side or West side? Uptown or Downtown? Jewelry designer Clara Williams thinks she’s got you pegged. If you’re more East side, you are all about the reconstituted turquoise necklace for $725. West side gals go ga ga over the citrine necklace also sold for $725. Or has she got it all wrong?

If you’re anything like me, you like having options. Weather, moods, occasion, and color schemes dictate what accessories we wear. Austin-based jewelry designer Kevin Heady had our fickle nature in mind—as well as our appreciation for pretty, sparkly things—when he created the Single Hip Chick necklace and matching earrings. Available in carnelian, onyx, antique carnelian, amazonite, and green jasper, these must-have pieces are adjustable on a 15-18" heavy fluted sterling link.

Single Hip Chick necklace in Antique Carnelian - $130

Hip Chick Earrings - $50

Jewelry designer Bess Heitner, whose handcrafted jewelry designs feature gems set in precious metals and clasps made from unusual objects, is sharing the love.

In addition to her own jewelry collection, Bess has made room for fellow jewelry designer Amy Kahn Russell to showcase her naturalistic designs, which also grace the cases at the Smithsonian and other museum gift shops.
