'BASKETBALL WIVES' INSPIRED HOOP EARRINGS FOR SALE

The earrings worn by various of the ladies on the Basketball wives show are really art and a form of creativity to me. For a long time, ladies have been wearing hoops as earrings. However, adding the crystals, and the round balls covered in crystals just adds a flavor and bling!!

Come on over to Zeraforyou to see what we have in stock!!!

Below shows Jennifer Williams from the show in the delectable earrings.

Chokers Are In

Models on the Fall 2011 runway and celebrities are sporting an accessory from the past. I think that fashion just gets recycled and recycled as the years go by. For example, my parents were wearing bell bottoms and clogs in the 70s and they were revived about a year or two ago. Yes! I do love this accessory...Chokers! Metal, chain-link, as costume jewelry, yes, all of it.

Below is the accessory report from WhoWhatWear

Fabulous!!! Well, Zeraforyou has some for sale. Check them out here

SIGHTINGS AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SPRING 2012

I love all things fashion, especially accessories and jewelry. So while browsing the web, I came across some exquisitely-chic things to liven up or make an outfit.
Enjoy!!

"Big Girls Need Big Diamonds" Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor is known for having an eye-dazzling jewelry collection and soon others will be able to own part of it. Her jewelry collection, valued at $30 million, is set to be auctioned off by Christie's Auction House in New York, December 13th -14th. Right now, the exquisite jewels are on a world tour and are set to land in New York in time for the auction. Part of the proceeds will be donated to The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

Remembering an Icon: Elizabeth Taylor: 1932 – 2011

Elizabeth Taylor is known for her talent in acting, her impeccable taste in fashion (clothes and jewelry), being a successful entrepreneur and her numerous marriages. She was also the first celebrity to bring attention to AIDS when everyone else shied away from the topic due to its stigma.

I would like to focus on what she wore whether in reality or in her movies. She was truly a beautiful and talented woman. May she rest in peace!

Apple and Raisin Muffin Cake

Okay, so I'm going to apologize for not continuing with the NYFW 2011; something came up. I will try to finish it up some other time.

In the mean time, I made some Apple and Raisin Muffins from a recipe I found at Recipeland and they are so yummy!!! I made some little changes and I also used round baking pans instead of muffin pans.

Here is the recipe:
1.5 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tspn Baking soda
1 tspn Cinnamon
1/4 tspn all natural sea salt
2 egg whites
3/4 cups white sugar
1 tspn Vanilla extract
1 can Comstock apple filling (I chopped them up into little pieces)
3/4 cups raisins
2 Tbspn organic honey

Best of New York fashion week | Day 4

Off-shoulder dresses. I love the purple one especially for the color. It just emits a sense of sophistication and class.

Lela Rose

Best of New York Fashion Week | Day 2

As I watched the second day of New York Fashion Week, I thought I would not have anything to review, only because practically none of the designers today blew me away. Most of what I saw, I figured if I went to Nordstroms or Macys, I would be able to find it there. That is not a good thing. The trends just seemed to be repeated from last season. When I view designs on the runway, I am looking for originality, something unique and something that I wouldn't be able to find just anywhere.

By the end of the night, I can say that Venexiana was by FAR my favorite. I have also included a presentation by a Ghanaian designer Mimi Plange. Now she is a designer to watch out for!!!!

Jason Wu

Best of New York Fashion Week | Day 1

Yesterday marked the beginning of 2011 Fall New York Fashion Week, and it began with The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection where celebrities wore red to draw attention to a national campaign on women and heart disease.

Today, the runway was filled with ready-to-wear designer clothes with yummy details rainging from brocade to texture to flowing gowns to embellishments to jewel-toned color to sparkle, all of which I love.

Following are my favorites:

First Lady Michelle Obama in Rachel Roy | For Sale: Something like it with a twist on it

I think First Lady Michelle Obama depicts the epitome of grace and class in some of the clothes she wears. Case and point, at the State of the Union address. She wore a Rachel Roy sheath dress with a black and white bow at the neckline in show of support of Rep. Giffords. What do you think?
