Designer Crush: TZEN Jewelry


If there's any fashion item that makes Hollywood actresses look glamorous, it's beautiful jewelry. Celebrities turn to elegant earrings, necklaces and bracelets to up the glam factor for the red carpet. Their latest jewelry designer of choice? Julie Liu of TZEN Jewelry.

The designer, loved by Kelly Rutherford and Law and Order's Tamara Tunie, has an eye for all things beautiful and elegant. Set in 18K gold or silver overlay, Lui's jewelry pieces feature brightly-colored, semi-precious stones for a look as dainty as it is energetic and bold.

Exquisite and eye-catching designs, like the celebrity favorite True Blue Earrings (below), are only a portion of what makes the brand so special.



Stars flock to TZEN for the versatility of the handcrafted pieces, like necklaces that can be worn formally as a choker and casually as a long, layered necklace. Below, Kelly Rutherford casually layered the TZEN tourmaline necklace in L.A.



TZEN even offers an enhancer that lets you turn a layered necklace into a chain with a pendant, giving the piece new and revitalized interest.



Details like black sapphire wrapped in gold and green gemstones flanked by diamond cut crystals make each piece a wearable work of art. Even one of the more affordable pieces of the line, the Incantato floral ring, can be stacked to resemble a bouquet of rose, white and yellow gold flowers. Gorgeous! As you can see, each piece has a special quality that makes it stand out among other luxury jewelry designs.



The conversation-starters are as stunning as they are unique; Lui does not mass produce the line, but rather offers 50 pieces of each style to ensure the jewelry is rare and one-of-a-kind.

And the best part: TZEN is moderately priced for a high-end couture jewelry line yet still looks opulent, luxurious and expensive. Visit http://www.tzenboutique.com/ for more information on the brand.




At the Fences premiere, Viola Davis wore the Tzen ring and Tzen True Blue earrings (above). Just gorgeous!

A Day in the Life: Badgley Mischka for HSN Collection Events



The gorgeous line, American Glamour, by Badgley Mischka is back at HSN for its second collection. And what better way to celebrate the launch then an intimate event with journalists and the designers themselves?

Yes, yours truly, alongside a select crop of editors and bloggers, was invited to a round-table discussion and preview of the collection with the ubertalented designers behind Badgley Mischka. Amazing!

The designers, Mark Badgley and James Mischka, who I just adore, walked journalists through the collection, describing each luxurious piece.

Lauded for their exquisite gowns and sizzling swimwear, the designers don't sacrifice the quality or style of their work because of HSN's lower price point. That's what sets their collection apart from the myriad of designer and retail giant collaborations on the market.

I am always amazed by how much glamour and upscale sophistication Badgley Mischka brings to American Glamour for HSN---which sells for significantly less than their eponymous line.

Their second collection was no different. Spellbinding jeweled bracelets, luxe studded tote bags and nautical-inspired looks that are perfect for Spring were only some of the highlights.

Check out some pics I snapped of the collection, which ranges from $40-350 and is available now on www.hsn.com. What piece will you add to your Spring wardrobe?






























To commemorate the second collection launch, designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka hosted a star-studded dinner at Bottino in Manhattan last Tuesday. Iman, Kelly Rutherford and Steve Stoute came out to show their support. Check pics below:
