PEARL CELEBRATION: A Conversation with Andre Freeland- From the Boardroom to the Bedroom

It is always interesting to know what men think about women’s fashion. From what they wear to how they wear it, men can actually be helpful to developing a woman’s style. So we were completely in awe to know that men have many views on women in pearls. Their view point goes from seeing a lady of class and sophistication to being super-HOT and very SEXY! That’s right, men find women sexy and seductive in pearls.

We had the amazing opportunity to speak with fashion stylist, Andre Freeland about men and their conception of women, sexiness and pearls. read more

PEARL CELEBRATION: A Conversation with Andre Freeland- Are Pearls Sexy?

Are pearls sexy? On most occasions, pearls are worn as a symbol of class, professionalism, and sophistication. We see women of power like the First Lady of the United States in pearls; English Royalty and other country women have been spotted in pearls; and let’s not forget women who are lawyers, doctors, and educators who have been seen adorning the precious jewel. Not often are we exposed to pearls in an exotic fashion, or have we?

In December of 2007, celebrity reality star Kim Kardashian dared to be nude and expose her goodies in the issue of Playboy magazine wearing nothing but pearls. There was also Rihanna who stunned onlookers in Paris when she attended a fashion show for Chanel, dressed in a crème colored duster, pearls and not much to the imagination. Many people found her look to be a little too daring while most (especially men) thought that she looked like the sexiest symbol of pearls. read more

ASK MS. ELITOU: Are Pearls Good for Your Everyday Woman?

 “Hey Ms. Elitou! I have been looking at the Pearls Only jewelry and I wanted to know do you think that pearls are for the everyday woman? Can the average woman who has the hustle and bustle of work, constant outings, all while maintaining the responsibilities of raising children get a great amount of use from pearl jewelry? I am a mother of two and I find that I have little time to switch up my jewelry, I need them to go with everything and I need to be able to move fast.  I would love to invest in diamonds but I am too worried about the cost and the possibility of losing an earring due to my fast moving lifestyle. Do you think pearls would be a better fit for me? Thanks in advance!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -Catherine B. read more

The necklace really took the dove grey top and black mini from everyday girl to chic Fashionista. We also think the look really stood out with her naughty girl Dior Gladiator heels.
