A Whitney Houston Memory

fragmentsjewel — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:23:27 +0000

I remember it was the fall of 1980 when Tony and I opened the Greene St. Cafe ( the first of many restaurants.) It was less than a year old and already the toast of the town in SoHo. Cissy Houston, even then a renowned Gospel singer, was backed up by 3 musicians and a single back up singer. That back up singer was Whitney Houston, her 16 year old beautiful daughter – a, tall, thin, gorgeous unassuming, innocent young lady. Cissy introduced her daughter Whitney, who then sang a solo accapella. After the first phrase, the room went silent, everyone knowing they were experiencing a moment of greatness. You could hear a pin drop and she was perfect. Never again have I heard such a perfect song or special moment. A star has moved to heaven. may she rest in peace.

Love,
Janet

“THE LOVE YOU TAKE IS EQUAL TO THE LOVE YOU MAKE”

fragmentsjewel — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:18:49 +0000

Music’s biggest night turned out to be just that; it was the perfect Sunday evening watching generations of amazing talent come together – I love the Grammy’s and here are some of my thoughts:

Alicia Keys V gold neck piece was fierce and against the chic black dress coupled with her KILLER voice, she always makes quite the statement.

Katy Perry’s diamond drops are at the top of the glamour charts. Love them!

Fergie, hello neon! I applaud her for taking such a risk. Her hoops are a bit large, you can almost jump through them but I do love the cuff!

Kelly Clarkson needs earrings and a bracelet although the necklace is sexy on her. Studs could definitely work there.

Rihanna stole the show. She is the hottest. I love the mix of simple big bold gold with delicate body chains. It all works on her and that custom Armani she wore was a work of art!

Taylor Swift doesn’t need any jewelry – she’s so pretty and that gown was magnificent. I love that she wore little topaz drops with it. Perfect.

Kate Beckinsale rocked in Sutra earrings – she let them do the talking and they certainly spoke to me!

Gwyneth Paltrow is like a sculpture. The belt is the accessory. Simplicity at its finest. This is an “art as fashion” statement. Fergie’s bold cuff could have worked on her too!

Nicky Minaj felt very 80′s to me – lots of leather and studs in her performance – everything old is new again!

The great Diana Ross wore a classic row of diamonds at her neck and dressed like the grand lady she is in flowing and elegant black.

Adele wins hands down for her style of soul. What a night for her and certainly well deserved! I loved her glamorous diamond button earrings. Very vintage feeling.

Kimberly from the Band Perry wore a three dove necklace from our new Turkish designer, Kismet by Milka. It’s small and delicate but makes a big impression especially when worn as a layering piece a la Fragments style!

Glen Campbell was amazing; like a true Rhinestone Cowboy. God bless him and also the industry that shows so much heart and love to their own who face challenges. It was beautiful and touching.

Tony Bennett and Carrie Underwood were a sensational collaboration. She looked so amazing – her bracelets worked perfectly with the glittery dress. Very together & cool. She was glam and a real midnight star – so right for the occasion.

And when it came to Jennifer Hudson – nothing mattered. Not the dress or accessories. It was her heart & soul that sparkled in her tribute to Whitney Houston.

Like Jennifer said, we will always love you, Whitney.

What a great show. When it comes to talent, we realize that its not what you wear, its who you are inside that makes you stand out and shine.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make!

Love,
Janet

Superbowl XLVI is just 2 days away and we’ve got our Giants and Patriots fans covered when it comes to the rules of accessorizing. Show your team some love by sporting their signature colors on game day- and we’re soo not talking about jerseys and hats! If typical football garb isn’t your thing (It’s definitely not ours,) we’ve got the perfect way for you to show some team spirit all while making a serious style statement this Sunday. Designers like Miguel Ases, Accessories & Beyond, Lena Skadegard, Nuggard, Millianna, LK Jewelry, & Coralia Leets all have great pieces with shades of blue, white, silver, and red. Check out some of our pics below and fear not, these are all pieces you can seamlessly work into your non-Superbowl wardrobe all year round.

Please note: when you’re not feverishly cheering on Tom Brady or Eli Manning, we don’t recommend piling on all of this red, white, and blue in one look!

For our ladies loving the Giants, this is for you:

And now if you’re rooting for the Pats…..

Whichever team you’re on, these accessories are a great way to show team spirit on Game Day. Sit back, relax, get your hands dirty- only if you’re talking about wings, and may the best team win!

Janet
