Trend de la Creme: A Blog To Check Out

Since Holsted Jewelers entered the blogosphere a few months ago we've gotten to know some very cool people who love accessories, beauty, fashion and jewelry just as much as we do. One of those people is Jill Sherman, who maintains a blog about all the latest trends in these areas. Jill seems to be able to spot trends as easy as the rest of us breathe and she can find evidence of a designer's ideas in just about anything: from birds and insects, to flowers and cathedral ceilings.

Until recently she called her very successful blog Trendinista. However, it seems as if that success has necessitated a name change, because it is now called Trend de la Creme. Now how cool is that? I love it!

If you like reading about trends as much as I do you should defeinitely visit Trend de la Creme. Happy reading!

Baubles For Fall

Now that New York Fashion Week Fall 08 is over I'm thinking back to the photos I saw from all the shows in and around The Tents. Several designers incorporated jewelry in their shows, most noticiably big, chunky jewelry:

Oscar De La Renta

Tracy Reese

Badgley Mischka

Dennis Basso

Ports 1961

The Ports 1961 piece is especially interesting. At first glance, it looks like a necklace made from threading a scarf through a wooden bracelet. It's not of course, but wouldn't that be an interesting jewelry trend?

You can see all the photos from Fashion Week at Coutorture.com. Enjoy!
