Color forecasts for 2012

"70s appliances": Gold, almond, avocado green, and muted mustard. Stepping back to the year I was born...


Layered nuetrals: Oatmeals, browns, tans, and grays.


Pastels:
Blush pink, robin's egg blue, and mint green. I might skip this in my wardrobe.


Graphic Black and White: This combo is being used in geometric, bold applications.

Tangerine Tango: This is the color company Pantone's choice for 2012. Orange can be a polarizing color—people either love it or hate it, there's not much middle ground with this color. I love it.

Trend Report: Junk Charm Necklaces

This fall, we are crazy about junk charm necklaces! They are spotted everywhere right now, and we are proud to bring you an assortment in different lengths and interesting combinations. These versatile pieces look great alone or layered with other strands, and are suited for every occasion. Check out our inspiration on how to sport this new trend.

Weekend Casual

For a casual look, we love the effortless style of the Liv Multi Charm Necklace. The double chains in silver and hematite give the look of layered necklaces. Complete the outfit with the Essential Ball Studs in silver, and the Soho Wristlet for a causal afternoon around town.

We love the look of a junk charm necklace over a classic button down shirt. For a twist, pair it with a shirt dress to the office. The faceted aventurine in the Infinity Charm Necklace is the perfect pop of color. Finish the look with matching Amelia Drop Earrings, and Devi Bangles in gold.


Add a little personality to your cocktail attire with the Third Time’s a Charm Necklace. We love how the mixed metal charms pop against a bright silk top. Finish the look with our Heiress Hoop Earrings in gold, and La Coco Clutch in black for a fabulously chic night out.

Trend Report: Rose Gold Decoded

We have been seeing rose gold everywhere this season from the runway to high-end jewelers to countless celebrities. The warm pink hue in rose gold is universally flattering on any skin tone, and can be worn with any color, but we especially love it over soft neutral or blush palettes. For a unique look all your own, try layering rose gold pieces with other colored metals. Here are a few of our favorite looks for every occasion.


For a casual look, we love to stack on thin layering bracelets in every color like this Tribute Stretch Bracelet, Copper Cupchain Bracelet, and Vintage Twist in gold combination. Then finish the look with a pair of face flattering hoops like our Goddess Teardrop Earrings.


For a chic office look, pair this delicate Anabelle Necklace with a beige sweater and neutral pencil skirt. Finish the look simply with our Soiree Studs in gold, which has peach hued crystals handset into a gold ball stud.


For a night out on the town, or dinner party with friends, pair our Goddess Teardrop Earrings with a peach toned dress. Carry a small clutch like our La Coco Clutch in pewter for a simple and stylish look.

Trend Report: Predatory Animal Within

Turn up the volume on your wardrobe this season with some inspiration from the wild kingdom. Predatory animal inspired jewelry has been seen everywhere from the runway to the hottest celebrities. Why? It’s a subtle way to bring a little fierceness into your everyday style. Here are some of our favorite looks and styling tips for every occasion.

For a layered casual look, our Panther Pendant and Hematite Link Chain Necklace add a little edge to a simple gray top and jeans. Finish the look with the Lafayette Cross Body Bag and you’ll be ready to tackle all your errands in style.

Add a little twist to your work day outfit by layering the Serpent Bangle with the Bardot Spiral Bangle. A layered wrist is a subtle way to wear this trend while still looking professional and polished. We also love how the Estate Chandelier Earrings pick up the color of this dress and the stones in the Serpent Bangle. Don’t be afraid to mix it up with a pair of animal print heels.

Look sexy and bold for a night out in a plunging black dress with the Snake Orb Pendant Necklace. We love the open link on this chain, and the gold finish pops against the black dress, giving you an effortlessly chic look. Keep the look elegant with our limited edition La Coco Clutch in gold (available November 1st in Style Society).

My new adventure :)

I have been researching for a while what I wanted to do as far as selling and interacting with great people. There were many interesting choices and great people to work with but I fell in love with Stella and Dot. I have signed up officially and this is my website http://www.stelladot.com/sites/JudyPBroswick.

I have ordered my kit and will be planning my launch show in a matter of days (depending when it gets here :) Stay tuned...

Check out the cool stuff - you will know why I fell in love :) Make yourself a wishlist for Christmas or better yet, host a show before christmas and get lots of christmas prezzies for your self free or lovely pieces to wear over the holidays.


behind the design

We get great joy in designing irresistible accessories. We have a vision of the world where strong women live bold and joyful lives. We believe passion and joy are their best assets.

We ask 3 simple questions:

Is it so WEARABLE she’ll be transformed from simple to stylish by slipping it on?
Is it VERSATILE enough to go from day to night? Is it so completely and utterly IRRESISTIBLE that she will fall in "must-have" LOVE?

Inspiration

Every season we take cues from runway fashion, design and architecture and combine ideas to be "on trend".


Custom Design

No retail stores. Our storefronts are a pop - up shop in your living room, instead of expensive retail stores.
Direct sourcing. We travel the world to work directly with the finest stone cutters and component makers, sourcing our own goods to eliminate the markup of a middle man.

Make Pretty

Coolest campaign and video
Kensie is inspired by a modern girl trying to make her way through life. A girl who changes her mind, changes her clothes, changes her look.

Project Pretty is all about being inspired by what's around you, what's out there. A curiosity for inspiration and making pretty.

Our fall campaign story is about two girls, one slightly odd and mischievous, the other sophisticated and spirited. Both curious. Both in love with discovering and exploring.

The two set out to make Project Pretty, to be inspired by the street and leave their mark.
