THIS OR THAT Tuesday: Gabrielle Union

I still remember Ms. Union as the sassy cheerleader in Bring It On. I'll never forget how she wanted to give our pal Kirsten the 'ol 1-2 punch for trying to steal her squad's cheerleading moves. Gabrielle looks classically chic during her recent appearance on The Rachael Ray Show. She took my favorite summer accessory, the shirtdress, and topped it off with a chunky wooden bangle and fantastic lucite ring.

Deal of the week (Thursday): Katherine Heigl

You all may know Katherine from her stint on Grey's Anatomy but I remember Ms. Heigl from her starring roll on the WB's Roswell. She looks fantastic on the red carpet in her Anna Sui gown and sparkling jewels. Lucite is a HUGE trend for the summer and her earrings would look great with almost any outfit. Her ring is one of my favorites and would transition easily into fall.

Frantic Friday: Rihanna

Rihanna looks sleek and slender in her Herve Leger gown at the BET Awards in LA. The songbird accessorized her look with a fun necklace and bold ring. I am totally in love with her curly locks and fab earrings. If anyone knows who designed her earrings, please drop ME a line.

Deal of the week (Thursday): Kate Hudson

Yellow has been a HUGE statement color this summer and Kate Hudson wears the trend beautifully. Goldie's daughter shimmers like a ray of sunshine in this one shoulder gown from Dior by Galliano. Kate's flowy gown looks almost angelic when she pairs it with this pearl ring and diamond bracelet.

Wild Card Wednesday: Charlize Theron

Charlize looks fabu in this great Malandrino mini during her appearance at the CineVegas 2007 Film Festival Awards in Las Vegas. She accessorized her look with a Cartier panther ring, a clutch from Roger Vivier and a fantastic pair of earrings.

Deal of the Week (Thursday): Eva Mendes

Earrings, $14.69 @ CZ Fantasy

Ring, $7.09 @ CZ Fantasy

Eva looks fantastic in this gold number @ this years Cannes festival. Since I wasn't fortunate enough to party with the cool kids at the de Grisogono party, at less I can score Eva's jamming jewels for less.

THIS OR THAT Tuesday: Berry Sweet

$75, Kenneth Jay Lane @ Madison Los Angeles

I'm huge fan of KJL and this ring is definitely one that I would add to my collection. The only detail that would make it sweeter would be pave rhinestone leaves instead of gold. Or maybe in addition to gold....that's a thought.... (KJL are ya listening?)

Is it ME or do these diamonds look shockingly real? I had to do a double take myself....they are faux...I kid you not. Why pay BIG bucks for the real thing when an inspired piece looks this good?

Beautiful. Unique. Classic. Although these would be the perfect adjectives to describe ME, I'm referring to these fantastic rings from Susan Michel. They are stackable pieces of art. Each is crafted from sterling silver and would make a wonderful Valentine's gift.
