Statement Necklaces
Statement necklaces are great pieces to give any outfit a little pop. They come in a variety of shapes and colors and can be paired with a little black dress, a white t-shirt, or anything in between. Statement necklaces are always on trend. Here are some of our current favorites:
Oscars Survival Kit
The Oscars (also known as the best fashion night of the
year) are this Sunday and we can’t wait to ooh and ahh over all of the
beautiful gowns! Pale pinks, bold blues, sleek black and white, and glittering
gold are just some of the things we are expecting to see this weekend.
All
items in our survival kit are available at our ellelauri boutique.
114 S 19th Street Philadelphia, PA 19103.
Beautiful dresses, sky-high heels, hair and makeup, and of
course diamonds all play an important role in any best-dressed look. But how do
these gorgeous celebrities survive award season and party hopping while always
looking flawless? We put together our own award season survival kit!
Makeup Bag
It is important to carry makeup with you in case you need a
touchup, even if it is just powder and a lip-gloss! We love the cosmetic cases
from LoloBag. Their cute designs come in a variety of colors and sizes. Put
your makeup in, zip them up, and toss them in your tote!
Water Bottle
Hydration is key, especially when running from one event to
another. We love the glass water bottles from bkr. The beautiful bottles come
in three sizes and multiple colors. They are by far the most glamorous way to
drink water.
Low Beams
Low Beams from Commando are perfect for dresses that you
can’t wear a bra but still need a little extra coverage.
Hanky Panky
Your dress is so beautiful, why shouldn’t your under
garments be beautiful too? We love the lace thongs from Hanky Panky. They come
in many shades and colors including nude, which is great under a light-colored
dress.
Scarf
Nights can get chilly, even in LA. A soft scarf is the
perfect thing to toss in your bag. You can wear them around your neck or over
your shoulders. Pick a color to compliment your dress!
Bracelet and Earrings
Could you imagine if your bracelet broke or one of the backs
of your earrings fell off? To avoid an accessories catastrophe, throw extras in
your bag!
Nail Polish
Over the past few years, the mani cam has given us the
chance to see celebrities nails up close and personal but could you imagine if
someone chipped a nail right before their fingers were supposed to walk the red
carpet? Always carry an extra nail polish in your purse in case of an
emergency. Our favorite is Essie.
Mints
A little too much garlic in the passed hor d’oeuvres? It’s
always good to have a few mints with you!
Although most of us will not be attending the Oscars, our
survival kit is perfect for any kind of party! Especially since wedding season
is right around the corner!

Designer Spotlight: Joie DiGiovanni
Joie DiGiovianni is a local jewelry designer who creates
hand-made pieces using semi-precious and precious gemstones. We sat down with
Joie to talk about her new spring collection, what inspires her, and her tips
for wearing multiple pieces at the same time.
ellelauri: How did you get started in the jewelry business?
Joie: I started by selling already made jewelry. After
seeing the quality of the product that was already out there, I set out to
elevate jewelry and decided to start my own line. I started with beaded
bracelets, Buddha’s, infinity signs and love. I wanted my jewelry to be
timeless so I started using fresh water pearls. I think the more you layer, the
better it looks.
ellelauri: What inspired your spring/summer collection?
Joie: I wanted this collection to be really fun and take you
from day to night. I used a lot of pale pinks and pale blues and turquoise
because turquoise is always fun. Everything I do, I try to incorporate fresh
water pearls because they are timeless. The leather is very versatile; it
transitions perfectly from a day at the beach to a fun night out. The leather
with the pearls has the ability to get wet and is finished with a slipknot
closure. All of the pieces are meant to be layered. It’s a very boho-chic vibe.
ellelauri: What gemstones did you use?
Joie: I used tantalized turquoise, polymer clay pave beads,
AA-quality fresh water pearls, mother of pearl, and howlite.
ellelauri: What is the significance of the Buddha?
Joie: The Buddha gives off positive vibes and I like to
think my jewelry gives off good vibes too. I want girls to feel good when they
wear my pieces.
ellelauri: How do you envision the girl who wears your
jewelry?
Joie: Bohemian
ellelauri: If you could have any celebrity be photographed
wearing your jewelry, who would it be and why?
Joie: Olivia Palermo. I love her style and I think she is
really good at accessorizing and layering.
ellelauri: What is your favorite piece from this new
collection?
Joie: I love the triple choker because it gives the effect
of wearing multiple when you are only wearing one. I love the layering effect.
ellelauri: What is your favorite combination?
Joie: I love gold and silver together. It goes with
everything and doesn’t limit people to just one or the other.
ellelauri: Do you have any tips on mixing jewelry?
Joie: The more you mix the more interesting it becomes. It
gives an added dimension.
ellelauri: Is there anything else we should know about your
jewelry?
Joie: Everything is made by hand. I drill every piece and
hand knot everything.
