Tasteful Not Tacky: Prada Makes Costume Jewelry

I couldn’t be less of a fan of costume jewelry. Something about oversized cubic zirconia, blinding bling and a rainbow of jewels thrown together doesn’t exactly make an outfit look elegant or glamourous. Actually, it does exactly the opposite, making the wearer appear to be gawdy and lacking in the taste department. Well, remind me to bite my tongue the next time I generalize and say “all costume Jewelry is tacky,” because truly picked up the slack for all costume jewelry designers everywhere. 

Finally! Costume jewelry that is modern, chic, glamorous and wearable, all at the same time! Unlike some of the antique pieces, the costume jewelry won’t exactly break the bank (pieces range anywhere from $200-$800). I absolutely adore the sleek black chain-link necklace as well as the gold geometric choker! Just in time for the holidays, you might want to leave Santa an extra cookie and a taller glass of milk! 

 

Thanks NYLON!

Sick Of The Blackberry Or iPhone? Try This

has finally revealed the new II. The product features a full QWERTY keyboard and will retails for close to $850. The phone is not lacking though, it has a full touch screen and 7 mega pixel camera. Though I can’t imagine ever giving up my iPhone, if I had to I think I would take this before a Blackberry. Bummer for the US though, we won’t be seeing the phone released here.

Thanks LikeCool

Think the next counterfeit designer item is the new bag? Think again. The new counterfeit obsession, among us, is now blue jeans. Of the highly imported are , Joe’s Jeans and . Intercepting a whopping $18 million worth of apparel, customs officials have made it clear that the counterfeit items are rising in numbers from year to year.

“The counterfeiting problem exists with watches and high-end jeans because people want the cachet without spending the money.” says a property protection attorney from Chicago

People no longer want to stroll through central park with their knock-off and peeling logo on a faux purse. Jeans are carrying the weight of this side of the market. It truly is a substantial undertaking, and a surprising one at that.
