Sapphire Costume Jewelry

By -
Kate Middleton's stunning sapphire engagement ring seems to have sparked a flood of regal sapphire jewelry. Or perhaps it has just made me notice all of the sapphire jewelry around. Real sapphires are costly, but many of the costume version offer plenty of regal charm and that rich blue color. QVC even made a knock off (pictured right) of the ring Princess Diana originally picked out as her engagement ring in 1981. Thankfully, the QVC version costs much less at than the estimated half million dollar value of the real one. (The new knockoff sold out, but an earlier copy of Diana's ring--same ring--is still available on QVC for $54.60). These costume varieties also cost much less than their real counterparts while still offering all the glam and royal glitz. Pictured: (clockwise from top left)

Read our latest post on Plus Size Prom Dresses ! Prom Season is here and if you're beyond the prom age, prom season and post prom season is a good time to shop for any upcoming formal events. Shopping outside of the juniors prom sections and stores may help you find a dress that can live beyond prom or anyone too old to attend prom. During my search I found that Nordstrom had the best selection of plus size evening dresses. They actually have one of the best evening dress selections no matter what your size. The dresses range from elegant to fun and sweet to sassy.

Spring 2009 Couture

Jean Paul Gaultier's runway promoted one of my favorite fashion looks: pinstripes with a delicate, feminine print. He had high-waisted pants, suspenders, lingerie elements, lace, sheer fabrics, softly geometric designs, and monochrome dominated, much to my glee. His menswear-inspired looks are a testament to how graceful the style can be. Christian Lacroix also paid homage to menswear with pieces inspired by matadors and soldiers. The complete collection wasn't cohesive, but even the breaks from theme were lovely. It's hard to argue with so many colors, ruffles and embroidery. Plus, I want that polka dot coat!

I love Miu Miu's harlequin themed show from Spring Summer 2008, especially this sweetly sexy striped mini dress. Kensie created a cute green version that's more wearable for everyday life. It's $118 at Macy's and perfect for spring. Now if I could find an inexpensive version of that show's teacup heels... Runway image: style.com .
