When American fine jeweller Kara Ross was 13 years old her parents bought her a gemstone of her choice to commemorate a family safari in Africa. When she returned home Kara designed a ring with the tourmaline she had chosen, “to know that I could create something wholly original at a young age really affected me.” Kara’s elegant and dazzling cocktail rings, bangles and drop earrings are firm favourites of Kate Hudson,Cameron Diaz, Eva Mendes and Michelle Obama.

Lana Del Rey's Campaign for H&M
I mentioned here that Lana Del Rey was to be the new face of H&M’s A/W’12 campaign and I can now reveal the results.
The 10-page lookbook, photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, show the singer modeling H&M’s latest collection looking like a melancholic, dainty doll from a 1960’s film noir, with back-combed hair, dark winged eyeliner, trademark pouty lips. The collection is made up primarily of pastel colours but they are given a harder edge when mixed with charcoal greys and burgundy staples. I particularly like the abstract, printed pieces Lana wears, the velvet heels, chandelier earrings and adorable little bows in her hair.
Lana has recorded a cover of ‘Blue Velvet’ for H&M that will be released on September 19. While we wait on the release I am still loving the remix of Lana’s ‘Blue Jeans.’
Debit Buy: ASOS Earrings
I do not have pierced ears (which has probably saved me a small fortune over the years given my magpie tendancies!) but if I did I would almost certainly be adorning my earlobes with these sparkly bug pendant earrings (left) and these colourful, Prada inspired floral gemstone beauties (below) from ASOS. I would dress them down with jeans and a t'shirt. These really are too adorable.
