MBK Jewelry Collection By: Mark Free

Mark Free released his first collection of hand-crafted jewelry this past Monday night, and I was able to attend his preview event at the Camelot Salon & Spa in Coral Gables.

Here's the scoop:

Amazing length 

Several of the pieces showcased at the salon were exotic in nature and made from pure stone. 

The colors were vibrant and each piece was consistent with the entire collection - I was impressed with the selection of colors, many of which represented fall/winter, while some would be essential for spring as well. 

Styles also varied in length, offering a variety for every client - these longer pieces are fun and perfect to wear when making appearances. 

Make sure to get in contact with Mark at the Camelot Salon & Spa to get your hands on any of these items: (305) 443-5953.

Take a look at the pictures I snapped of my favorite pieces below:

Nicky Hilton Launches Jewelry Line

Wow, it was just yesterday when I covered my story about fashionable jewelry, and now I just found out from a recent Paris Hilton tweet that Nicky Hilton has officially launched her own jewelry line! Let's consider this great news as part 2 of yesterday's Fashion Fix Scoop, enjoy:

As a teenager growing up, Nicky Hilton traveled many countries and tended to collect jewelry - that's when you she first found her passion for jewelry and knew she wanted to have her own line. Nicky was recently quoted in a FabSugar article talking about her experience growing up and collecting jewelry: "I’m a crazy jewelry collector. I've always known since I was a teenager that I wanted to do a line. Whenever I bought something, whether at a flea market in Paris or a bazaar in India, I've been collecting pieces".

This is a another great step in the fashion industry for Nicky, as she already designs clothing and used to also be a fashion model for the the Australian underwear line, Antz Pantz.

Her jewelry line which is rather affordable, is partnered with Titan Brands and wholesales at about $35 to $480, - the line features many Art Deco designs, as well as Spikes and Snakes a like. Nicky's jewelry line is available now at Endless.com, and will also be available soon in most department and specialty stores.

How To Avoid Over-Accessorizing This Fall Fashion Season

We all know jewelry and accessories go hand in hand when it comes to fashion, there are ways to rock jewelry and accessories to glam up certain outfits to make them more fashionable, but on the other hand - there's also a thing called over accessorizing. Here is today's fashion fix, enjoy:

(The Do Not's)
So now you're probably wondering where exactly is that line drawn between fashionably accessorizing your looks and over accessorizing them, and how can you avoid it? Well, it's all about selection - if you're wearing fur, you don't really need five necklaces, and if you're wearing metallics, be careful about wearing too much jewelry (you don't want to be so shiny out in public, it looks tacky).

(The Do's)
I'm pretty sure you've seen Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham at many red carpet events wearing the latest of trends, and if these women wear jewelry they almost never over accessorize. By paying close attention to detail in their outfits, Paris and Victoria usually make it to the best dressed celebrities in magazine pages and they're rarely on the worst dressed celebrities page.

You can take a few pointers from them as well, by becoming more cohesive with your choice of colors and types of gems when pairing them with your outfits (gem stones usually go well with cocktail dresses, while colorful accessories and sunglasses tend to compliment most denim outfits). Jewelry and accessories are a great thing indeed, but one should always know the limits.
