    Welcome to our "big bling" week.  All the posts this week will feature larger than life stones and shapes for bridal jewelry that is truly show-stopping!  A trend we've been in love with for a while has been seeing big crystals and pearls make their way to weddings.  These bib style necklaces are the perfect adornment for a simple wedding dress or a great way to unify your bridal party look if you're letting the bridesmaids select their own dresses.  My favorite of our new necklaces, above, is the stunning White Gem Pearl and Crystal Necklace, $329.Another sophisticate...

    My newest obsession in prettiness? Black and white bridal bib necklaces! Tied with ribbon, layered with bling, and stop-you-in-your-tracks gorgeous, these statement pieces will add a whole lot of drama to any look you're after. Wear one with your wedding gown and add a new level of modern style to your big day, or pair one with nearly anything else in your wardrobe- your little black dress, your favorite layered fall outfit, or your funky jeans and t-shirt- and watch all the eyes in the room gravitate toward you.

    Have you guys seen the new "high-fashion" direction Ann Taylor is taking? I read about it on one of my favorite blogs, Perfect Bound, and I made sure to take note when I spotted this insanely beautiful Crystal Bib Necklace {shown above} for only $55. Is that not incredible? I think it would be a beautiful accent to a simple A-line wedding dress or any cocktail number! {Images: slaven vlasic/getty images, ann taylor via Perfect Bound}...

The necklace flaunts more than 500 handset Swarovski crystals neutralized by soft pearls and a satin ribbon for a look that is so je nais se quois.
