What: Robert Goossens Onyx Bead Clip-On Earrings, $695

Why: Because clip-ons are back in a big way. I thought I was alone in rocking oversized clip-ons as my latest statement accessory until I noticed the trend popping up elsewhere on fashionable ears. Although mine came from my grandmother's costume jewelry collection, I wouldn't mind owning a pair of true blues, like these Onyx Bead Hoops from Robert Goossens ($695). The sleek yet simple design of these earrings keeps them modern, while the hoop helps disguise the fact that they're clips. Although in my book, I don't know why you'd want to. 

If you'd rather take this trend for a test-drive, you can fake it til you make it with some more conservatively priced clip-on options. The Smoky Topaz Gemstones ($225) are simple enough for a daytime ensemble, while the Brown and Ivory Enamel pair ($199.50) would go perfectly with your evening out attire. If you're looking for a more capricious buy, these Dynasty-esque Square Clip-Ons are only $26.

Craving sharp objects but don't have the cash flow for the piece above? Fake it til you make it with Juicy Couture's Pave Link and Dagger Necklace ($88). It's a slightly less intimidating version, but quite dangerous nonetheless.   

Wednesday night I attended the book release party of Friend or Frenemy? A Guide to the Friends You Need and the Ones You Don’t by Cosmopolitan editor Andrea Lavinthal and co-author Jessica Rozler. Of course, the party was packed with a slew of NY fashionistas and their friends (or frenemies) sipping cocktails. Now, wouldn’t it be my luck that the digital camera died on the subway but I can report on the major headlines from the party:

As you know, New York women are very into the gladiator sandal. If there was one pair of these lust-worthy Jimmy Choo Glenys Elaphe Snakeskin Sandals ($1,295) present, there must have been at least twenty. Ladies, scoff at the price but these shoes are GORGEOUS in person.

Head's up for fall: there was a lot of red at the party. One guest, Sarah, admitted to us that she is a mad Shopbop.com fanatic and recently picked up this gorgeous WAYF V-Strap Dress, which is currently on sale for $108.90, down from $363.00. Looking for something to heat up the night moving into winter?  Take it from Sarah, girls, this dress is smokin’ hot and a great purchase.

The clutch was in full force that night – no huge designer bags like you’ve been seeing everywhere. I actually ran out after the party to pick up this J. Crew Satin Fleur Clutch ($98) for my own festivities after seeing it under many a champagne-flute-holding arm.

Anyway, feel free to grab yourself the book and some of the items seen at this hot little soiree. I’m personally saving up for the shoes.

Dana says, "To metaphysically choose a stone is easy. Simply choose the stone you are most attracted to. Your subconscious will choose whatever is most metaphysically healing for you at that moment." Check out all the different stones she offers and find the one that draws you in. Then decide if you want it as a necklace, bracelet, or earrings. She even does pet charms. Heal Fido's arthritis with a Conscious Jewelry charm on his collar.

The greenish colored stone necklace on the left is rutilated quartz on a 36" gold plated textured link chain for $624 and the black stone necklace on the right is a 22" inch long obsidian heart chakra necklace for $474.

Looking for something a bit cheaper? Find this gorgeous tiger's eye necklace ($164, was $328) and charm bracelet ($74, was $148) on sale at Brooks Brothers. Tiger's eye is supposed to reduce the desire to overeat, help addictive habits, help one be aware of spending habits (if that's a problem of yours you're in the wrong place right now), and heal bruises.

What: Prada Classic Square Sunglasses, $245

Why: This weekend was spent helping my friend shop for the perfect pair of sunglasses. She had left her old pair – which she had purchased on the street 3 years ago – in the back of a cab and was convinced she would never again find shades that looked good for every occasion. Until we came across Prada's classic squares. At first she was hesitant about the exaggerated shape – and price – but after glancing in the mirror, we both realized these glasses would last season to season, from jeans to chic black dress.

Don't want to drop significant cash on something you could misplace as easily as your keys? (I know I have.) Fake it til you make it with Fossil's Margot glasses in Tortoise ($44).

What: Botkier Patent Sasha Mini Duffel ($525)

Why: There’s something so happy and fun about this color blue, particularly in shiny patent leather. In addition to the color’s inherent mood-lifting qualities, you’ll be happy that it unexpectedly matches a ton of stuff in your closet – patterned dresses, work outfits built around kakhis or dark denim, anything black. The convertible handle and interior key ring are just icing on the smartly-styled cake.

And if $525 doesn’t seem like it’s happening in this lifetime, fake it till you make it with the Latico Belted clutch ($95) below. Not quite as big a hit of happy blue patent, but for under $100, we’ll take it.

What: Louis Vuitton Farandole Bracelet, $400

Why: So we might have gone a little jewelry happy lately, but when eLuxury debuted the Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage collection on their website, we couldn't help but go a wee bit nutzo over this funky Farandole bracelet from the line. To refresh everyone's memories, this eclectic camouflage collection was the result of a collaboration between Marc Jacobs and Takashi Murakami, and caused quite a frenzy among the fashion world. While the bags may be beyond the average fashionista's budget, the accessories – eLuxury also offers a camouflage hair clip – are (almost) within our grasp.

What: Fetty Braille Bangle, $625

Why:  Sure, $625 is a hefty price tag to pay for a bangle bracelet, but this is no ordinary piece of jewelry. The concept is all in the name – the Fetty line features diamond braille words such as Yes, Forever, Try and Tomorrow. A favorite of Kate Moss, the Fetty Signature line is elegant and understated, but with an unexpected twist. Fetty also makes a more affordable Fame collection made of plated brass and Austrian crystal available at select boutiques nationwide. (check the website for a list of retailers.)

What: Mike & Chris Dallas Leather Vest, $656

Why: It might be a challenge to even think about leather on the cusp of July (unless it's on your handbag), but when masters of the motorcycle jacket, Mike & Chris, come out with a sleek leather vest, you can't help but take notice. The buttery bark or rich cognac color is so versatile, you can potentially get away with wearing it on a cool summer night – hey, Shopbop styles it with a pair of oversized shorts and a casual tank. Sure, this trend du jour will set you back a pretty penny, but an authentic Mike & Chris will never really go out of style.

What: Flower Beaded Bib Necklace by Miriam Haskell, $850

Why: With the summer invasion of the maxi dress, it's no shocker that other retro-fashion pieces would make their way back onto the scene as well – wedge heels, shift dresses, and bold, beaded bib necklaces like this flower piece from Miriam Haskell. Sure, your mom may have worn one just like it, although she probably got hers at a swap meet, but that just makes this necklace choc full of nostalgia and yesteryear – not to mention style. Paired with a simple summer dress, it's one statement piece your daughter will thank you for. If you can ever part with it, that is.
