And the Winners were...

Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein was a vision of sophistication and simplicity. The attention to detail, irridescent Midas-like material and the touches of jewelry were impeccable her earrings matching her uniquely placed brooch at the high hip.

Truly five Stars for the tower of elegance.

Hailee Steinfeld as well was a vision of 'pretty' in her blushing nude pink Marchesa. This is how all ladies this age should strive to be a vision of.

Mila Kunis in Elie Saab gets a MOST honourable mention. The fragility of fabric, daintiness of color and application of the lace trend was done with much restraint & femininity. The fit on Mila was as well beyond superb- it accentuated her curves, showcased her cleavage without consciously seeming to.

So inspite of the fact that the Oscars show did not quite deliver as much as all the hype beneath it was given, those that came to see walked away with new inspiring visions of freshness and delight in the realm of fashion & style.

Style Files: 2.11: How to Jewelry-Style, looks to love, Jewelmint & Kate Bosworth.

There is nothing more interesting on a woman than a piece of jewelry, at least to myself I think. Jewelry is the way that I find my self expression these days. It creates a very personal application of style not readily available in any other category in terms of "what we wear".

As of late, more than just the jewelry I find the styling of them create a more interesting lure to the eye. Layering diffrent finishes and textures, mixing fashion and real pieces yet keeping an aesthetically pleasing appeal. Above are a few pieces and looks that I love and have come across.

The Keys to Jewelry Styling:

1. There are NO hard and Fast Rules.

Gone are the days that you can only wear certain metals or finishes with one another or fashion pieces separate from real pieces.

2. If there is one thing you should abide by it is only Personal Style.

3. Think Organic versus structured.

Choose pieces that speak to you rather than very "runway-specific" pieces.

4. Do not be afraid to layer.

5. Experiment. Experiment. Experiment.

6. Get in the MIX.

Fashion and real pieces. Gold, White Gold, Sterling Silver, Metals-anything goes.

7. Keep proportions visually pleasing

and everything else is a free for all!

Jewelry Style Trend:

1. Dainty over Overwhelming.

2. Delicate over structured.

3. Intricate

4. Interesting pieces over overtly embellished pieces.

5. Vintage or eclectic pieces that tell a story. (Handed down pieces with new pieces.)

Jewelmint the collaboration of celebrity Kate Bosworth and stylist Cher Coultre is an amazing testament to above styling and jewelry trends. Ecclectic, personal and individual are some of the key words that come to mind when faced with the look of the jewelry line. In comparison to all that is out there, the appeal of the line stems from its sophisticated approach to individualizing jewelry design. The jewelry line's website extends this very individualistic approach to style by first having the client answer a series of fashion or style- related questions in hopes of handpicking certain pieces which would appeal specifically to the one consumer.

I am elated in having had stumbled upon Jewlemint and expected no less from who to me is one of the most stylish celebrities out there Ms. Kate Bosworth.

I hope these give a little insight on current Jewelry trends, styles and styling and helps make accessorizing and beautifying your daily wardrobes a much, much more enjoyable task!
