Every girly girl loves three things: shoes, handbags and jewelry. Oh, make that four—and makeup. I’m going to stop counting because I’m suddenly thinking of many things to add to that list.

Moschino has a classy way of combining bracelets and watches to create a chic and funky, not to mention very wearable, piece of jewelry. This watch/charm bracelet, entitled “Time 4 Shopping,” is crafted of shiny and durable stainless steel. It features a fun variety of charms—hearts and handbags (both patent and quilted leather varieties, I’d say).

The auction description reads, “Moschino has been changing men’s and women’s fashion since 1983. Famous for being “classico con twist” (classical with a twist), Moschino has created a strong presence for itself in the fashion world. Moschino is responsible for single-handedly reviving fun and bringing youth into European fashion which reflects style, changes trends, and expands the rules of elegance. Moschino can be found in department stores such as Saks 5th Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, and Bergdorf Goodman. The unique styles and variety set Moschino apart from all other brands.”

Have a look-see, ladies!

In jewelry news, let’s explore the trends for 2008—shall we? Well there’s no better time than now to read up on such info. This year, hot jewelry includes gem-intensive, bold styles but simple rather than intricate.

Unique is fabulous, as always, so be on the lookout for something different. Even men will veer away from their sporadic diamond comfort zone and they’ll be joining in on the large colored stone trend in bracelets and rings.

The inspiration is the “Grace Kelly” look; the “less is more” notion. Unlike Grace Kelly, however, you’re going to want to bring color into the picture! Women will wear less fine jewelry, but what they will wear will be large, impressive and classic. Rather than layering on the bangles, go for one candy colored or diamond-studded cuff bracelet. Tone down on the number of rings you wear and pump up the chunky and unique cocktail ring.

Jump on the train, ladies. Get bright and bubbly for 2008!

Bracelets happen to be one of the most diverse types of jewelry a woman (or man) can accumulate without completely breaking the bank. Bracelets are easy to mix and match, put on, take off, stack together, etc. They come in metals, fabrics, plastics and elastics.

Yahoo!News reported that charm bracelets are one of the top five gifts to give to a girl.

Charm bracelets are versatile and can even tell a story. You can collect charms from places you visit; to commemorate experiences you’ve had; to symbolize children and family members. It’s almost like collecting tattoos, only healthier and less permanent.

Give charm bracelets for a first vacation or first anniversary. You can supply the bracelet with one charm to remember that occasion and to get the collection started. She can take it from there, though any time you experience something together—a fun trip, wedding, the birth or a child, etc.—she’ll be touched if you happen to supply her with a charm for that occasion.

Charm bracelets are the gift that keeps on giving. If you’ve given a girl a charm bracelet, you’ll never have to worry about what gift to buy her again. Be smart about it, though. She’ll catch on if you give her a new charm for absolutely every occasion (birthday, anniversary, Christmas). But if you’re ever stuck in a rut and can’t find that perfect gift, turn to the bracelet for rescue!
