DAILY OBSESSION: Adriana Carador Earrings

Everyone always asks me what piece of jewelry is a must-have for their "red carpet moment" - that super special occasion where you want to shine and your jewels shine even brighter. While I have an endless list of special ocassion must-haves, I will share one of my absolute favorites with you today.

They also happen to be an obsession of Eva Longoria's - who wore them on her episode of Jerry Seinfeld's show, The Marriage Ref. I always knew she had great taste!

Today's "Daily Obsession" is this pair of absolutely beautiful Adriana Carador 18k gold and citrine chandelier earrings. Beyond chic, definitely for the glam goddess - these earrings are perfection for your moment. Available now by special order at FRAGMENTS: 212.334.9588.

DAILY OBSESSION: Isharya Cuff

Since our office is in the Isharya spirit today, I figured I would coordinate today's "Daily Obsession" with our showroom-wide infatuation with all that is Isharya! Before I get into it, did you all see the amazing photos that we took today of Isharya jewels at the Henri Bendel 5th Avenue Street of Shops? We put them on our Facebook page and if you haven't already - you've got to check them out right here!

Every woman needs a collection of statement cuffs to play around with. You can never have too many, but you certainly need at least one. I really believe that they amp up any look - always promising to take your style to the next level. With a statement cuff, it is so simple to acheive head-to-toe chic. Who better than Isharya (they practically invented statement jewelry) - to launch your cuff collection?

This triple druzy ebony cuff will turn heads just about anywhere. It will take your denim from day to night instantly. It is available now, right here on our webiste.

DAILY OBSESSION: Dana Kellin Necklace

Layered chains are a trend that have evolved into a total wardrobe staple - a necessity that will never die. There are a million ways to wear them - mix metals, play with textures, lengths, sizes and colors. They're great for daytime chic and really amp up your style for nighttime glam. My thoughts are that you can never have too many.

For those of you who are just starting your collection of layered chains, I've selected the perfect "starter piece" for today's "Daily Obsession." This sterling silver Dana Kellin necklace accomplishes everything we need in one fabulous necklace.

Layers of chain with swarovski crystal links, this necklace measures approximately 18" long. A girl should not live without her layered chains, and as I said - this is a perfect place to start. Available now right here on Fragments.com.

Million Dollar Quartet

I had an absolutely wonderful weekend - the weather in New York City was perfect, and we kept busy all weekend long.

On Friday night, my husband and I went to see Million Dollar Quartet at the Nederlander Theatre on Broadway. Guys, this show is sensational and we loved every minute of it. It transports you into another time zone - the 1950's - and we got right into it. I am so happy we got to see it early (it is still in previews.) It is all about the early days and the music of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and the one & only - Jerry Lee Lewis. Each of these stars got their start at the same time in the same place.

This was another winning musical experience where the audience ended the show on their feet with a well-deserved standing ovation.

I highly recommend seeing this show with friends, family, a significant other - whoever you would like - I promise it will be an experience you won't ever forget.

You can read more about the show and purchase tickets right here.

DAILY OBSESSION: Miguel Ases earrings

I've said it before and I will say it again - a girl can NEVER have too many pair of Miguel Ases earrings. This is the kind of overdose that I approve of and strongly encourage. His earrings are simply spectacular - available in an array of sizes, colors and shapes - there are MULTIPLE pairs for every occasion.

Today's "Daily Obsession" is one of Miguel's more "classic" looks - a pair of earrings that I believe are an essential for all wardrobes - gold chandelier earrings. These are the perfect hint of sparkle and glam for every woman - daytime chic, nighttime shine. I am so into them and if you don't already have a pair, you need these!

These earrings are available right here on Fragments.com - don't be the last one to snag a pair!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

DAILY OBSESSION: Anton Heunis Necklace

This season is all about tribal glam. Heavy jewels. Bold colors. Big stones. And when I think of the most fabulous peice of tribal jewelry, this Anton Heunis necklace is exactly what comes to mind.

We love jewels that work for multiple occasions, don't you?

This peice is available on Fragments.com.

What do you think of this necklace? How would you wear it? I would love to hear your thoughts!
