It’s raining here today and many people

are already grumbling

about Summer being at an end

but there’s a whole lot of August left – so…

Let’s Get Beachy!

Here’s a shot of Lindsay Lohan in Malibu. She doesn’t let her lack of pants keep her from loading on the jewelry, and somehow it all works – she looks like she’s out for a casual, relaxed day.

Hand protects us from her glare

What are the rich and famous wearing in the waves?

Here’s sun-kissed Jessica Alba looking positively golden – with gold accessories to match. She’s wearing 5 bracelets and at least two necklaces and six rings; not to mention a lovely chain belt.

Jewelry Sure to Brighten Up Any Shore…

Toned down, this look could work for anyone – two necklaces and several rings are perfect if you stick to the same metal (and color) or select sleek designs.

Beach Party? For shore!

Jim Carrey seems to think his classic suit is enough, but I would recommend something sparkley to really pull his look together.

May I suggest this Silver and Grey Pearl Drop Necklace?

And some classy studs will really make this stud’s day at the beach shine. Studs are always a better option just in case you get pulled into a game of beach volleyball or have to dive in to the ocean and rescue a swimmer in distress – large or dangly earrings might get caught and tear  your ear; or even worse, you might lose them!

Everyone needs a key ring – this accessory is extremely practical but it doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, these rings can make great gifts! Here are some celebrity-inspired key rings…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

It’s not green but it’s still the perfect accessory on March 17th or the perfect gift to get your favorite Irish eyes a-smiling…

And, let’s face it hot Irish Colin Farrell could use some help accessorizing – what’s with the scarf? I think the role of “pretentious indie hipster” has already been taken and if it was vacant, he’d be too old for it anyways…

Celebrity Ring Bling

If you admire a celebrity’s style- why not get inspired by her engagement ring?

Here is a great slideshow of celebrities with their engagement rings.

(The youtube subscriber disabled embedding so just click this link: SLIDESHOW )

Nicollette Sheridan

Nicollette’s ring is estimated at $200,000 but you can get something very similar for much less. You might even be able to get her ring now that her engagement to Michael Bolton has been broken.

Katharine Mcphee

Katharine married actor Nick Cokas in Beverly Hills.

Katharine may have been a runner up on American Idol, but her engagement ring is a real prize! Katharine’s ring is valued at $100,000. The centre is a pale pink stone, here is a similar ring with a diamond in the centre. 

Scarlett Johannson

Scarlett recently got married to Ryan Reynolds in a small ceremony held near Vancouver, British Columbia. They announced their engagement in May 2008. Her ring is estimated at $30,000. It looks very similar to the one below, which you can buy for under $500.

Or Do Your Own Thing

Or your ring can express your own unique style. Here are some of my favorites:

Are You Red-dy?

Heavy Stuff

Ringless in Seattle‘s response to my September 19 post “Is it Wrong to Take off the Ring?” was that a) he doesn’t like wearing jewelry, b) he doesn’t like typing with a ring c) maybe a lighter ring would help. 

I mean… how heavy could it be? I would recommend that he gives his ring a chance – wear it for one week and then decide if it’s still too heavy. People all over the world wear rings around the clock so unless you have a medical condition of some sort or just extremely weak fingers – it’s no excuse. Unless your ring looks like this of course!

Hip Hop’s Crown Jewels Auction October 1st, 2008

Last week on October 1st, a big crew of Hip Hop stars auctioned off their jewelry. Buyers had the choice of donating their purchases to the Smithsonian’s hip hop archive; otherwise, proceeds will go to the Russell Simmons’ coalition of nonprofit organizations. 

Biz Markie Headphones

According to the staff at liveauctioneers.com, “This is the first time that hip hop jewelry will be presented within the auction setting, as glittering cultural artifacts woven into hip hop’s colorful legacy.” Pretty cool, hey? Interesting to look at but a bit too big and bold for you? Remember, your jewelry can still tell the world who you are:  your beliefs, your interests and your family.

Let Your Bling Sing

Whether it’s a religious symbol or your birthstone or a charm that shows where you have travelled or what your hobbies are, jewelry is a personal statement.

The Charm that Rings a Bell

I have a ‘I love to wrestle’ charm that I bought from a street vendor in Memphis. It always reminds me of the fun road trip that took me from Washington DC down through Memphis and then up to Oklahoma City and along route 66 to California. I thought it was funny at the time (I’d already had a few drinks on Beale Street) and now I wear it when I’m feeling cheeky. 

One last note about Ringless in Seattle. It’s obvious what my opinion is about the whole ring thing but I guess what really matters is how his wife feels about it. If she’s okay with her husband going ringless unless its a special occasion then that’s good enough for me.
