Oscars Report 2012: Back in Black

Who said little black dresses were boring?

Well, definitely not the stylists to some of Hollywood's biggest stars.

Whether their frocks were sophisticated, elegant, sultry or even opulent, 

the trend in Oscar jewelry remained...

beautifully simple and understated.

When selecting timeless or classic jewels, remember to select items
that reflect your personality and are true classics.
You want something you can wear more than just one evening with one outfit.

If you love earrings that dangle, then a pair of stud earrings isn't your best choice.
Go with earrings with movement such as crystal or rhinestone drops
to create a look that is as enduring as it is about YOU!

Remember that posture is key whether you are
stepping out on the red carpet or just heading to the office.
By standing up straight and pulling your shoulders back,
you gain an inch in height and even more in confidence.
