Trends from Accessories The Show

We braved the lousy weather this morning and took to the Javitts Center because we didn't want to miss Accessories The Show.  We're always impressed with the way that place (meaning my fav spot, the Javitts Center) transforms itself for that show.  The carpet is hot pink, the booths actually look like places you'd want to hang out with chandeliers being the prevelent decorative touch, and they have upbeat music pumping through to set the mood.  We also spotted a couple of trends that we personally are planning on embracing.  One of these trends, which we'll call "Tie Me Up," we first spotted at Club Monaco a few weeks ago.  From simple silk cords, to studded cords with charms accents, cords wrapped with chains, and beed and leather combos,  people are wrapping themselves in these make-shift "bracelets" in a variety of different ways.  Probably our favorite trend came from LupRocks.com's own, Janna Conner who perfectly highlighted the new "My Gemstone Has a Gemstone" trend.  Though we saw different versions of this theme, we absolutely loved Janna's color combos in her pendants hanging on long, gold vermeil chains.  Check out Janna's site and test our trend foreceasting ability by looking for this on a multitude of fashionistas soon!

 

Amelia Rose on "Desperate Housewives"

Look out for jewelry by LupRocks.com designer Amelia Rose on this week's episode of ABC's super popular  Desperate Housewives. A variation of Amelia Rose's "Clear Quartz" necklace was made specifically for "Bree Van de Kamp" (played by the ever-gorgeous Marcia Cross).  Congratulations Amelia Rose!

AGTA Spectrum Awards Brings Big Color to the Big City

The media event for the 25th Annual AGTA Spectrum Awards took place yesterday in New York City and all 500 + pieces entered were celebrated by the impressive roster of media that attended the exclusive viewing.  It’s not a bad gig hanging out in a sun-drenched, West Village loft all day, and we here at Lup HQ had to remind ourselves that we were actually working and not just hanging out in a gem filled room trying on fabulous jewelry and sharing our excitement with influential media! 

LupRocks.com’s own Erica Courtney took home four different awards—two in Bridal, one in Classical and one in Evening Wear!  We were also super impressed with the designer Evelyin Clothier, who submitted some of our favorite pieces, and we were in love with the resounding media favorite--an exquisitely crafted enamel cuff with amethyst and citrines by Rina Limor.

Photographs are being shot as we speak, so we’ll update with pics of some of our favorites in future posts.
