The third installment in a series about how your accessories can have some star power!

Born between May 21 and June 20? Then you are a Gemini just like Johnny Depp, Joan Rivers, Stevie Nicks, and Nicole Kidman.

Geminis are adventurers in life – they aren’t afraid to try new things and they are fun people to have around. Geminis are known as great communicators – they’re good talkers but also good listeners and are usually dialed in to all the dirt on their friends (famous gossip columnist Hedda Hopper was a Gemini). The Gemini, or two sisters, are also known for having two sides to their personalities.

Gemini Star Style: Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman’s adventurous spirit is seen in her very diverse choice of film roles: from chick flick Practical Magic, edgy comedy To Die For, experimental foreign film Dogville, to blah Hollywood flicks like Far and Away and Days of Thunder. Like all Geminis, Kidman has two sides to her character: she is a celebrity but she is also a humanitarian (recipient of the United Nations Citizen of the World Award). She has had two very different husbands. She is a dual citizen: American and Australian – she was born in Hawaii but has lived most of her life in Australia.

One of my best friends is a Gemini and all of these characteristics fit perfectly with her as well: she loves life and is a fantastic listener. She has her professional side, working in the corporate legal world, but also uses her connections and talents to contribute to local fundraising. Early years in California but living in Canada – she has enjoyed two very different childhoods. Happy Birthday, Kristine!

Gems for the Gemini

When a Gemini arrives in our world, Summer is just around the corner. Perhaps that is why they look great in anything that catches the light: sparkly stones, transparent gems, and silver or white gold.

Here are some great birthday gifts for Geminis:

The second week in a new Celebrity Icing series about Star Signs, Style, and – of course – our favorite Stars! 

TAURUS STAR STYLE: NORA EPHRON

Nora Ephron spent her earliest childhood in the Upper West Side of New York City so it’s not surprising that, like most Taureans, her calm and coolness might be mistaken for snobbery. 

Generally the Taurus personality is one that is known for its steadiness of character, it’s calmness in the face of obstacles,and it’s steadfast nature. 

N0ra Ephron, successful as a writer and a filmmaker, has rightfully earned respect and accolades for her work. She wrote the scripts to the successful films Silkwood, Heartburn, and When Harry Met Sally. She hit success as a director in 1993, with Sleepless in Seattle. Her 2006 Collection of Essays was on the NY Times bestseller list in 2006. 

If you were lucky enough to be born between April 20th and May 20th then you are a Taurus – destiny made me a huge fan of this star sign: my husband, my daughter, and one of my very best friends is  a Taurus. So is my sister-in-law and she is one of the women that I truly admire – she’s classy, cool, and kind – and she’s the type of mom that I aspire to be.

Classic Yellow Gold, Timeless Styles

And, while we’re on the topic of When Harry Met Sally – here is a funny version of the trailer recut as if it was actually a Horror!

This week Celebrity Icing is starting a new series of posts about how your astrological sign can influence your accessories. And, in true Celebrity Icing style, we have celebrities to back up our story! First up, Aries -

Aries Star Style: Shannon Doherty

You may not like every Aries you meet, but you will certainly not forget them. Aries let those horns on their heads lead them to all sorts of trouble. They can be impulsive but they can also be great leaders, too – it just depends if they use their powers for good, instead of evil.

DARING DROP EARRINGS MAKE AN ARIES IMPRESSION

Aries love to travel. They send out a vibe that they are ‘going places’ and their natural energy can light up a room. Aries may not be attention seekers but they definitely draw attention to themselves. If everyone in the room is going to be looking at you (and talking about you afterwards) you might as well look good, right? Bold accessories complement the Aries character. Chunky necklaces and rings, big earrings, and bright colors are all perfect for you if you are an Aries…
