Paris Hilton Frolicks in Stella & Dot Jewellery

Her she is, the Hilton Heiress frolicking on the beach with some dude. (newest boyfriend???) Well she's posing more so than frolicking but I'm sure she enjoyed herself. One thing is for sure however, and that is the Charlize Bib Necklace she is wearing in the ocean is a Stella & Dot beauty.

Paris first got a taste of Stella & Dot's fabulous jewellery at the Golden Globe's gift lounge in January, where she met Stella & Dot’s founder and president, Jessica Herrin, and fell in love with the Charlize Bib Necklace, as shown in both photos.

A word or two of advice

~It doesn't have to match, it just has to make sense

~Whether you're going to a birthday party, out for dinner, or a kids play date, take 5 extra minutes for yourself to pull it all together. I'm not talking about full hair, make up, and sequins but rather a bit of effort to look like you didn't just crawl out of bed. Invest in your image whatever you want that to be and learn to feel good about yourself.

~Accessories are the antidote to the blahs. When was the last time you slipped on a pair of high heels and didn't feel like a super vixen?

Forget Lululemon

Try on Stella McCartney for size! Stella has been styling for Adidas for a few years now and I am a devotee! But if you want Style for a Steal, you should go to your neighbourhood Superstore and check out the Joe label. They have a cute little tennis dress in stock right now for under $30 and it is very similar to Stella's show on the left.

Heidi Klum made a style statement on the red carpet with her stack of mixed bangles. You too can stand out with these style stunners – wear them stacked, mixed or alone. Any and all will add a fabulous touch to your outfit.

The red carpet was bursting with beautiful bold accents like Angelina Jolie’s show stopper emerald green earrings.
This Spring the trend is to incorporate bold new colors, especially emerald green, into your wardrobe with one vivid item, like the Perfect Faceted Earrings or the Isabella Spaced Wreath necklace. Pair any of these pieces with an understated black gown for your own Oscar style or with the simple jeans and t-shirt for a casual, everyday glam look. And the best thing – these pieces are much easier on your wallet!

In Love with My Jason Gogo Paintings

Nothing new here but yesterday I was lounging in my living room and staring at one of my favourite paintings by a fantastic artist named Jason Gogo. My other favourite is also a Gogo! ;) His work is highly textured and abstract multi-colour based form of painting. Gorgeous works of art that literally stop you in your tracks! The pictures just don't do the work any justice but you get the idea.

"Organic Expressionism is an original style developed by Jason Gogo. This style is composed of extreme textures and multiple layers of colors that represent random organic material. Gogo draws on natural substances including bark, geods and ancient fossils as well as manufacturer’s recycled paints, which are applied to his medium of oil paint. Organic materials such as ground antler, real gold and powdered abalone create these extreme textures and veins of natural mineral colors. Colors are applied in layers similar to geological formations that sensor natural hues in layers of time. Anomalies of perfection imitate catastrophic changes in geological material. In nature there is no bias in the application of color, which is the influence of the color palette on these works of art. Most abstract art dissipates as the viewer gets closer, revealing simple singular tones of color. In Gogo's organic expressionism, the perceived colors become complex patterns and grids of many colors. For the viewer, Gogo's work is endless in forms and color.
Jason’s work is not abstracting nature but rather employing the conditions of universal occurances such as erosive and tectonic movement to create something truly organic. Believing the dichotomy of paradox is present in all things, Gogo chooses to enable the application for the medium without coercion. In order to balance this correctly, he then adds points of coercion within the art piece. As opposed to layering paint to a pre-conceived idea, Gogo starts with the least dense and ends with the most dense material on his canvas. In the time he is not present, the layers naturally move through each other as the lightest part rises to the top of the most dense.Gogo’s art is about creating a tether between the viewers conscious and his subconscious. The viewer begins to destructuralize his pre-conceptions and starts to see things within the art, thus creating the content. As time progresses, and this thinking expands, the large amount of information within the painting becomes limitless to the viewer. As well, when the color and lighting in its environment shifts, so does the painting’s content."
