AS Fashion Police: Grammy Awards 2011

Zachary says, "Looks so skinny, and stylish!"

Jordan says, "Can't get enough of Lea, she nails it again!"

My Funny Valentine

Need some help finding out just what to get for your Valentine this year? Here is some help!

The Classic Valentine: This Valentine is your Audrey Hepburn type of woman. Always poised, always polished, and always stylish. Pearls are a standard stone for the Classic Valentine. Something small and delicate like the Polly Earring (which has been featured in InStyle Magazine!), or the Annie Earring are great staples to have in the Classic Valentine's jewelry case. If you'd like to make a little more of a statement, the new Elizabeth Earrings or Grace Earrings are sure to turn heads.

The Chic Valentine: This lady is a risk taker. She likes to be noticed. Always fashionable, and always edgy. The Ava Earrings are beautiful in its shape, but it is the pyrite in the earring that really gives it a rock star vibe. The Angela Hoop and the Pulsera bracelet are some signature chic pieces, with raw designs and colors that are sure to be noticed. To add some color to the palate, try the Andrea Earrings, gold/reds. With the natural coral sticks and loops of garnet these earrings will definitely shut it down (and that's a good thing!).

The Casual Valentine: By no means does casual mean dowdy. This Valentine calls her Splendid v-necks and her favorite worn-in jeans staples. So she needs simple, but interesting pieces to spice it up. An everyday favorite of ours, and InStyle Magazine, are the Courtney Hoops in gold/gold, ponytail or a great hair day, these hoops are sure to shine through. The Julia Birthstone Necklaces are a must for every Casual Valentine. They come in every month's coordinating birthstones, and the best part is that they can be personalized with additional charms. How ah-mazing is that? No Casual Valentine could ever be complete without some of Amanda's #1 best seller's, the small Elle Earring. In gold, silver, or a mix of the two this earring is always a crowd-pleaser. Last, but certainly not least, the Lauren Necklace is a chunky, fabulous necklace made up of designer chains that will enhance your everyday ensemble.

Don't be left out in the cold this Valentine's Day! Head over to AmandaSterett.com to check out the entire collection today.

Your thoughts??

Happy Anniversary Andrea!

Today is Andrea's two year anniversary for working at Amanda Sterett Jewelry design. Andrea came to Amanda after school at University of North Texas studying Textiles. Andrea handles all of our stores, their repairs, orders, or concerns, manages the jewelry makers, manages all materials, and so so much more. We couldn't get through a day at the office here without her help and her vivacious personality!

Yay, Andrea!
