If you live on the East Coast you're probably OVER hibernating at this point. If escaping down South isn't in the budget, we have something that may tide you over until Spring Break... 2012 Resort/Spring Trends! For Clothing these standouts rocked the Runways for the 2012 Resort/Spring season: Red dresses, Lace, Graphic prints, and tons of Tangerine (official Pantone color for 2012) worn head to toe from Blazers to Bikinis.
Of course, no look is ever complete without JEWELRY (in our eyes the jewelry makes the clothes). Lucky for us the Jewelry Trends we have seen for the Resort/Spring 2012 season include loads of Vintage looks. Rhinestones, Rhinestones, Rhinestones are all over the place from Chanel to Sonia Rykiel in the form of Statement Choker Necklaces (layer with a long necklace for extra trend-iness), stacked Bangles and Cuffs, Brooches, as well as Floral and Tribal inspired motifs...do take note that Neon has not left the building just yet. Get your Day-Glo look on while you still can.
Whether you're headed to Miami or the Maldives this Spring, pack your bags (trunks for extra credit!) with our Resort/Spring 2012 Trend Report in mind. You're sure to look chic from head to toe. Shop our jewelry pairings below, currently available via our website www.LauraJamesJewelry.com!

 Well we certainly weren't disappointed with last night's 54th annual Grammy Awards! From bold color (Fergie!) to stunning jewelry...and lets not forget the fabulous performances and tributes to the late Whitney Houston, it was certainly a night to camp out in front of the tele. Here are our fave moments from the evening:

We were excited to see Gwyneth in signature style- showing off her incredibly toned Tracy Anderson body in a sleek number by BFF Stella McCartney as she introduced Adele's return to music (after a brief hiatus to repair her vocal chords).

We LOVED the necklace Linda Ramone rocked and are still trying to hunt down the skinny on it... Her hair color isn't bad either- looks like she and Fergie took note as to Pantone's 2012 color for the year..."Tangerine Tango". 

Which leads us to another big moment of the night. Mrs. Duhmel had us counting down the minutes till Spring Break with her Beach Goddess flawless makeup and Mermaid-esque Tangerine Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture dress. Gold Neil Lane hoop earrings and a bold statement cuff were the perfect way to complement this look without detracting from her intricately laser-cut dress.

Another big moment for us was the Asscher cut earrings on Katy Perry - not to mention her blue hair! These days it seems Day Glo is the way to go to stand out... platinum and jet-black are a thing of the past.  

Her performance was IN-Sane as she rocked the stage in full force with a new song that clearly was a stab at her recent Ex Russell Brand. I think the line "So you can keep the diamond ring/ It don't mean nothing anyway" summed it all up!

We had to give our fave Overall Jaw-Dropping look to Miss Rhianna. She stole the Red Carpet in her self-designed plunging black dress that was inspired by this dress worn by Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface years ago. Paired with her effortless newly-Blonde curls and fabulous jewels from snake rings to arm cuffs to body chains...we were captivated!

And for one last nod...we have to give it to Miss Hilton. She definitely wins the category for Most Improved in this gown by Basil Soda as she was there to announce HER new album dropping soon (!):

   Hollywood's leading ladies stepped out at last night's 18th Annual SAG Awards adorned head to toe in bright hued dresses from Jade (Emily Blunt) to Cobalt (Jessica Chastain)...and the jewelry certainly didn't disappoint. Chunky gold and diamond bracelets were wrapped around nearly every celebrity's wrist and often stacked against thinner bangles.

Pssst...Did you know the best way to kick those January winter blues is to head to Park City, Utah for the annual Sundance Film Festival?! 

Sundance, founded by actor Robert Redford in 1981with merely a handful of colleagues, has transformed over the years into the ultimate "See & Be Seen" Winter destination for indie film newcomers and industry giants, actors, celebrities, and socialites alike. The charming and typically low-key ski town is overtaken by the industry this time each year for a week of screenings, skiing, parties... and Style Lounges filled with free swag including the latest jewelry and fashion labels. Here at Laura James Jewelry we live for the eclectic trends spotted at the festival which run the gamut from Street-Savvy to Chalet Chic. 

This year the Jewelry Trends for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival ranged from chic stud earrings, layered gold charm necklaces, and stacked bangles to  tribal inspired statement necklaces like this bold design on actress Kristen Bell: 

Fashion standouts included trend-setter Kirsten Dunst, a red-lipped Kate Bosworth, and the ever-androgynous Rashida Jones. Though fur-lined boots, vests, jackets and gloves were de rigueur on the slopes and streets, the favored shade when the sun went down was...black, of course.

You too can rock the jewelry trends spotted at this year's Sundance Film Festival ...from with Stud Earrings, Gold Charm Necklaces, Stacked Bangles + Bracelets, to Tribal Inspired Statement Necklaces - all available at Laura James Jewelry!
