Who said Diamonds were a girl's best friend!?....

So who did say diamonds were a girl's best friend? Of course any girl loves a diamond, but I think pearls are a girl's best friend. Pearls are classic! Pearls are beautiful and come in so many different styles. You can get the expensive ones or you can buy some that aren't so expensive, but they can still look pretty and stylish. You can't really buy a fake diamond and flaunt it, but pearls no matter real or fake, I don't think anyone can disagree that they are still beautiful! Pearls are classic, I mean besides the fact that they've been around for so long, they fit any age. I love that at any age whether you're 7, 27 or 67, you can still find a beautiful pearl necklace or earrings that fit you and your style. I mean look at the late Audrey Hepburn to the current Katherine Heigel and Natalie Portman, they all rock it! I also love how you can dress pearls up or dress them down. I myself own a several different pearl pieces from a simple pearl necklace, to ones that are more stylish, to funky pearl earrings. It's all about your own style, so whatever it is just find some that fit you! Here are some of my favorites below.
Audrey Hepburn - she looks beautiful and classic in her pearls.

Rihanna brings a younger and funky vibe to pairing a pearl necklace with a mini skirt. I love it!

Katherine Heigel looks perfect in her neutral colored pearls.

Kim Kardashian turns an LBD into something classy!

Katherine Heigel - you can never go wrong with an LBD and pearls! 
Natalie Portman adds her own twist to a simple pearl necklace by wearing a darker pearl.

These ladies look anything but gorgeous in their pretty pearls. 
I love how Ashlee Simpson dresses down her pearls by wearing flats, a black top and black skinnies. 
I have this necklace and I love it because not only was it not expensive, but it goes with almost anything. I can throw it on with an outfit and go.

Jewelry is the most beautiful part of an outfit!...

We've all played dress up with jewelry before whether it's to go with a costume or just for a fun night out, but to me jewelry is the best part of an outfit. Of course tacky accessorizing is a no no, but if you have beautiful pieces of jewelry, you can make a plain dress or outfit amazing!! Currently I am loving Yochi design pieces. These pieces range from necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings to brooches. Let me tell you these pieces of jewelry are amazing!!! The designs are very detailed and you can tell there was a lot of thought put into designing certain pieces. I love these pieces because they are very unique in detail and I don't think you can find this in just any store. There are some pieces that might be a little pricey, but they are definitely worth it. Here are some of my favorites below. I hope you find some that you like too! http://www.yochiny.com/index.php
