The Baroque Frame Necklace: Versailles on a Chain…

Friday, November 3, 2006

With the release of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, it is fitting that I review Bijou X’s 17th Century inspired Baroque Frame Necklace...

The necklace reflects the grandeur of the 17th Century royal life, and the theatrical splendors of the French Monarchy. The walls of the court in Versailles are dripping with brassy gold picture frames, fixtures and bed-frames… The Baroque Frame Necklace is in fact like Versailles on a chain.

The Baroque Frame Necklace is 17th Century inspired perfection; the vintage-tooled, raw brass baroque frame dangles elegantly from an antiqued sterling silver chain. The necklace is adorned with a ring of ruby-red Swarovski Rhinestones and the gold-filled trigger clasp completes this striking design. The Baroque Frame Necklace reminds me of the antique frames you would see in a museum surrounding history’s most beautiful, inspirational paintings.

Bijou X’s pieces are lovely and lavish; they are synonymous with vintage sophistication, decadence and royalty. Their breathtaking jewelry designs are individually hand-made pieces that pay homage to the past with a unique, modern twist.

Beautiful Savior: B&LU’s Perfect Plus-Size Pair…

B&LU is a fabulous Plus-Size Fashion site dedicated to double-digit divas from size 14-30. B&LU's goal is to alleviate the stress, and make shopping fun again! B&LU is offering 20% OFF all purchases to all Couture In The City Readers with the following coupon code: blu20

Do these Jeans Make My Butt Look Big?

Although B&LU can't help you with that problem, they are certainly your personal "Savior" when it comes to the perfect pair of haute jeans...

Finding that coveted "perfect" fit that every woman desires was a pipe dream for me; I have searched high and low and FINALLY I found the jeans that sound amazing and fashionably fitting for me.

Ladies, I am SO excited because I have B&LU's Savior Jeans on their way to me RIGHT NOW! I can't wait to try them on and write a fabulous review!

About THE FIT: The fit is perfected by adding 2% lycra to skim the body, while allowing for a comfortable fit that keeps its shape. The slight bootcut leg and long lines give a sleek appearance, while the strategically placed pockets allow for a rounder looking backside. Tack creasing (the raised whiskering along thighs and behind knees), ring spun wash (emphasizing vertical threads) and stone washing (worn-in-feel along hems and soft-all-over feel) are treatments used to make each pair their very own.

Stay tuned in the coming days for my B&LU Savior Jeans Review!

P.S. Don't forget to Shop at B&LU and use the coupon code, "blu20" for 20% OFF!

Get the Rich Look by Accessorizing


As someone who is not independently wealthy or in a 6 figure position at work, I like to try to find items that will make me look rich without paying the "rich girl's" price tag. Not that I need everyone I pass to think I'm BFF with Paris Hilton, but I don't see anything wrong w/ trying to look nice and taking my outfit to the next level. My fave way of getting a rich look is by accessorizing with designer items. I heard once that the only items of your outfit that you can't skimp on are shoes and purse. This makes sense to me, so I'm always on the lookout for a great designer accessory at a good price.

I just bought this fab Burberry cashmere scarf from BlueFly.com

I love this scarf b/c you could totally toss it on with jeans and a black tee and look oh-so-chic, but you could also wear it with a formal black/neutral suit and heels for your regular work day. This scarf is timeless and will likely last me a lifetime!

Leather Girl Ring

Traditional meets modern in this leather-gold cocktail ring. Says designer Rickina Velte: "I like to always create pieces that are unexpected, and evoke an emotion, in most cases curiosity and happiness."

Rickina suggests pairing the ring with a wildly colorful top, flattering jeans, and black boots. Or, she suggests, you can funk it up a bit and wear an ultra mini skirt, colorful leggings, ballerina flats, and a simple top.

Breath-Freshening Lip Glosses

Who would have thought that cosmetics could help your coffee breath? Yes, it's true. I already know and love C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Lip Shine, but now there are even more breath-freshening lip glosses on the market. For a fresh, minty sensation, just apply and inhale these glosses to conquer bad breath. Don't think that means you can skip the tooth-brushing, though; they haven't come up with a cavity-fighting lip gloss just yet.

House Party "it" Hottie

November always strikes the season for the festive party circuit. Mine includes a zillion house parties, and not all of them involve totally dressing up. I like wearing more festive tops with plain, casual bottoms.
