She’s dated a serial killer, she’s taken money to break a couple up and she’s drugged a man to get him into bed… you got it, it’s ABC soap opera General Hospital‘s bad girl Brook Lynn Ashton. Taking the her name from her Mum’s birthplace, Brook Lynn certainly has lived a little, yet her wild child antics are offset by the voice of an angel and a rock-and-roll look that keeps the fellas on their toes.

CollegeFashion.net, the US online magazine for stylish college girls written by college students for college students has been run a series of “inspired by” style articles. OK, so they’re not suggesting you should try to scam $50,000 from your Grandfather, steal a car or run away to Mexico but let’s just say there is a certain something about Brook that’s captured our hearts and eyes!

Key to catching Brook Lynn’s edgy style is going to be a rocking pair of ankle boots and some awesome earrings. In her Brook Lynn Ashton style guide, CollegeFashion.net stylist Shannon from DeSales University rates both gunmetal hoops and our Weathered Bohemian Disc and Crystal Clip On Earrings as being Brook’s style:

We also covered how the stylists on Polyvore had gotten many style miles from this clip on earring recently and it certainly seems that teaming them up with black denim and a top that’s your skin out is the most popular way to wear them. How do you wear yours? Do you like Brook Lynn’s style as Shannon put it together? Let us know! Pop your thoughts on the Brook Lynn Ashton style guide.

When the queen of British fashion gets together with the queen of British costume jewellery you know something special is about to happen! Zandra Rhodes has confirmed she’ll be collaborating with Adele Marie London to create the Zandra Rhodes for Adele Marie collection.

August 2011 will see the iconic British fashion designer Zandra Rhodes launch her range of vintage inspired jewellery in collaboration with Adele Marie, one of the leading costume jewellery brands in the UK.

The collection draws inspiration upon Zandra’s iconic internationally renowned creations and bears the hallmarks of this fashion celebrity who is famous for her creative statements, striking prints and passionate views.

Zandra’s vision for her new collection of jewels is to infuse her unique and eclectic style with current fashion trends to create a stunning modern day collection with sweeping statements from her earlier years. The collection incorporates the designer’s original textile work, featuring dramatic and unique prints, the range consists of retro necklaces, brooches and earrings.

The Zandra Rhodes Jewellery Collection transcends fashion and like her famous creations will become collector’s pieces of the future. Zandra Rhodes for Adele Marie is unmistakably a Rhodes creation that exudes timeless quality.

Imagine our surprise. It’s the end of a long day’s work. We need to unwind with a little comedy. We flick telly stations and there on ITV2 is The Only Way is Essex‘s favourite beautician, Amy Childs, wearing our Bohemian Hoop Earrings! She’s been racking up a lot more than just over a million viewers in a week with her short and tight dress sense and boob avoiding cleaner fish!

Hey, less of that – eyes on the earrings please! Can you spot them? Our Boho Hoop Earrings are available in both Gold and Silver tone finish to flatter all skin types. They are available as clip on earrings as well as pierced hoop earrings:

Here’s the viral Cassette Boy vs The Only Way is Essex remix. Shout Brentwood when you spot the earrings!

The people are all real and the scenes unscripted but structured making it a mix between a documentary, a soap and a reality show. It set Twitter ablaze and clocked over a million and a half viewers within minutes of going on air – almost unheard of for ITV2. The Only Way is Essex will bring fake boobs, vain blokes and bling back on December 24th for a 1 hour Essexmas special. We will be watching closely what jewellery the girls are wearing… especially since the Vajazzle!

Did you Nigella Lawson wears clip on earrings? Naturally we do, having supplied earrings to the darling of television kitchen decadence on several occasions.

In November’s Good Housekeeping magazine, Nigella took a special interview which painted some other sides to her than in her TV cook shows. We’ve always loved the fact that she’s not ashamed to admit she loves food and knew she loves online shopping but it was surprise to hear she can’t wrap without making a book end up looking like a bottle of wine!

As delighted as we were to help Nigella look as stunning as she does, we were even more pleased to hear that a new book and TV show are out! Nigella Kitchen is currently showing on BBC2 (iplayer has catch up episoides) and her new book, Kitchen: Recipes from the Heart of the Home is out now.  Having drooled over her deliciously Christmasy Seasonally Spiced Nuts, we’re sure Nigella is set to be the flavour of the season yet again!

“Big Brother” winner Josie Gibson and John James managed to do more than pull a few votes during their stay in the house. In a world exclusive in this week’s OK magazine (issue 743/21st Sept 2010) they revealed that John has proposed to Josie!

Never ones to shirk a shoot, OK Magazine lined up a fantastic Titanic themed photoshoot and quizzed the couple to see if they were more Katie and Peter than Kate and Leonardo!

We were delighted they requested to wear our Titanic Heart of the Ocean Pendant & Necklace Set, a signature piece from the movie and real story. Hand made in the UK by small design studio using high quality Swarovski crystals, the necklace – in either it’s original blue colour or in white or pink – the necklaces are stunningly beautiful and worth giving to  the one you really love:

The couple dropped more than just a few surprises with this. First off the announcement. As John puts the Heart of the Ocean Necklace on Josie the scene is set:

Whether you like your Titanic Heart of the Ocean necklace in blue, pink or white, it’s clear it’s a love that will go on and on. We hope it will be your lucky mascot.

We loved this iVillage US photo gallery so much we wanted to share it with you. It’s a great source of ideas! In in Hollywood celebrities were photographed layering up necklaces to match dresses and sometimes earrings. It made us think about how we put together our own styles when we are stepping out at fashion shows. And as the ever lovely Gok Wan says:

If you don’t have ay ideas, just layer on as many necklaces as you can. It always looks stylish!

We love you Gok and we here’s the photo reel for more ideas. Click here!
