After a short break, I am ready to be back to my favorite thing to do which is writing about fashion. Happy New Year to all and hopefully it would be a better year for everybody. I am sure you have had a chance to get some great bargains during the holiday season. And you are now ready for the brand new season's fashion styles, themes and colors. Well, it certainly the time to get into the 2011 which started with the the brightest of the brightest combination of Silver & Lime, the newest mix of the winter season. They can be worn together with other bright colors like pink, red, baby blue and certainly pure green. Whether you decide to wear a silver dress and lime stilettos or vice versa, you are going to be in style for 2011.

I think my Three Green Flowers Necklace have captured it all and you can wear it with pretty much any outfit. I say you pick your outfit which will match my necklace and e-mail me the picture to katya@katyauk.com! The outfit that I like the most will get it as a present - why not? I am waiting to hear from you by Saturday January 16th 11:59AM.

I think Jules Smith jewelry collection is interested in its own special way. It might seem too simple, too dull but I guess it still carries out a unique style. Almost like the metal knuckles which can be too "fashionable dangerous" to wear but can be fun to look at. Each one of the Five Points Knuckle Rings has five Swarovski crystals which planted in the line along 2" bar. I prefer yellow and rose gold colors which I think have more sophisticated elegant look than other metals.

KatyaUK Jewelry collection has earrings which would look perfect with either of the rings so it would be an amazing deal when you buy them as a set.

I remember seeing lots of cuffs with lots of fun words engraved & was thinking what if I want to put my name on it or engrave a love message for my boyfriend. I guess Jessica Cushman thought the same thing since she now has a custom service which provides you with ability to choose anything you want to be written on the cuffs. They are made out of black and white plastic material. I think it is pretty cool and worth mentioning that you can only write upto 25 characters for an extra $35. I think the price is reasonable but the cuffs are pricey $130. Cuffs would be a perfect gift for an anniversary or birthday. Or spoil yourself on that day when you are feeling down and in need of something excitement. I would write up something like "LOVE FASHION AND POETRY" by KatyaUK. This is just one of the phrases to through out there!

Along the line with so called “summer gladiator” flip flops trend, we have been exposed to styles of jewelry which showed us how to wear many different necklaces together. You are now able to mix & match a couple of them together. There is a possibility of collaboration even if they are made of different metals and stones, just like it showed in the picture with three beautiful actresses or the runway models. Taking risks, again, is the way to go. You can embellish your outfit with more than just necklace, unique brochette or hair clip can be great additions to your look.

Rings are arranged in different shapes, have diamonds and other precious stones incorporated either as a little round tower or square shaped pool. If you try to look at them closer on the website, you will see windows, stairs, and even actual rooms from inside out. How about a little part of a city with streets and buildings? These are so much fun, check them out on the website. They are a bit pricey but I guess idea really counts.

Some of the great finds of the seasons have been drawn upon designer Dana Lorenz who has created her own line of jewelry and luxury accessories called FALLON . I must say she has some of the unique pieces which have caught my eye before on the pages of Charm & Chain. Her creations are "bold fashion statements that always seem flow in the direction of the runways". Dana's background is in petry as well as art with drawbacks to her education from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and University of Iowa.

My favorite ones are in the above pictures which made of "glass and vintage Lucite cabochons, pyramid studs, and bright stones adorn these brass, rose gold, sterling, and gunmetal trinkets, sometimes complimented by chunky chains and even fabric to complete the look". I could not have summarized it better due to their complicated design and materials used. Please prefer below for her other jewelry pieces with an unique story to tell in each piece. That’s why her pricey tag comes out to $200.00 per necklace. So worth it though!

Please enjoy shopping and keep us posted on your purchases.

When I first noticed this necklace on the pages of several Fashion websites, I thought it was some kind of unique vintage necklace which is not available for sale but a collectable item. I could not stop staring at this piece in the zoom in view and admire the work of art. Necklace is a collection of silver coins, Swarovski crystals & knitted green round medallions.

I come to find out that it was designed by Erickson Beamon for the collection of Turkish Delight. He introduces necklaces and earrings which are beautifully made from Turkish detailed coins & bright color jewels. This jewelry piece can be a compliment to any light color simple cocktail dress which will win any red carpet event or a black tie party. I would wear it to my B-day dinner without a doubt.
