Mark Your (2011) Calendar

The final hours of 2010 are pretty much history anyway...  You might as well ditch your old calendar. The one that's probably been hovering over your work area for the last two years. The one that's been permanently fixed on the month of January since the day you got it. Who is really in a rush to flip to a next picture of landscapes or dogs in flower pots at the end of every month?

I've come across a few, however, that are enough to give reason to know the correct date everyday is this new year.
From skeletal pin ups, to Maybelline Queens, check out some of my favorite 2011 calendars HERE.

Kanye's 300K "POWER"

"My fur is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in..." POWER-- Kanye West

Was anyone else wondering what in Jesus-piece name that was around Kanye's neck at this year's BET Awards?
In true Yeezy fashion, the performer leaped light years ahead of game and rocked this ginormous Horus, God of the Sky-esque pendant and four finger Pyramid ring.
These items reportedly set him back 300 stacks. Yikes.

Friday Fire: Black Diamond Plug

Black Diamond Plug- info@jasonofbh.com

By no means will this darling little diamond plug charge your Blackberry, and I wouldn't advise going near a wall outlet with any bright ideas.
But this new Jason of Beverly Hills accessory will surely electrify your ensemble!

...I should probably get the electric chair for that shockingly bad analogy, but this piece is pretty clever.

Happy Friday ~vK

Carey and Cannon's Custom Candy

The Cannon's, Nick and Mariah, celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary this Friday. Check out the video for the goods on the gifts.

This custom candy ring is just amazing. It's hand crafted white gold, encrusted with white diamonds and pink sapphire. It also comes complete with its own special jewelry box with a spinner that allows you to watch it sparkle under the light.
Mr. Cannon says its a design that he knew that Mariah would absolutely love. I remember these things from back when I was a kid and I think its an adorable gift!
Cue the Tony, Toni, Tone.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE CANNONS! ~vK

Sightings: "When In Rome" Premiere

I've been saying for months that this is one of my favorite Jason of Beverly Hills pieces. It appears that the young Hollywood starlets love it too!
As seen on Katy Perry, Keyshia Cole and recently actress Brittany Curran, these custom made black and white diamond square bangles are becoming the hot new accessory of the stars.

Miss Curran stood out among the arrivals at the "When In Rome" Los Angeles premiere in a vibrant Jerell Scott dress and Jason of Beverly Hills accessories. While your eyes might be glued to that amazing bangle, the 8 carat black diamond studs aren't too bad either.

That's 8 carats a piece. Work.
"When in Rome" hits theaters this Friday, and be sure to catch Brittany on "Men of a Certain Age" on TNT. ~vK

vK's Kudos- Winter Eyewear

I haven't experienced many days in Beverly Hills that actually qualify as "fur coat weather". Still, I didn't object after spotting one today at breakfast during one of our 73° degree winter mornings.
Same goes for sunglasses. Morning or evening, nite club or church (side-eye) designer eye wear is as common in the everyday wardrobe as leggings on ever freaking chic in LA denim.

Hot Items: "Couture" Ring

cou-ture- (kōō-tŏŏr', -tür')
being, having, or suggesting the style, quality, etc., of a fashion designer; very fashionable: the couture look.

Fashionistas, this one is a must. My new favorite from the extensive ring collection by JBH is the "Couture" two finger ring. Bring out your inner diva with this charming "say something" piece. The flawless white diamonds on white gold will light up your fingers and speak for itself.

And be certain to wear it on your right hand... To avoid the grip contest, also known as the inappropriately firm, which i absolutely hate! "Hollywood handshake", simply offer a dainty hand covered in diamonds that begs to be kissed. ~vK

vK's Kudos: Lamborghini Concept Bike

Oh really..?


So famed designer Flavio Adriani has come with a new concept superbike for Lambo lovers (ahem).

The Lamborbiker is a concept bike from designer Flavio Adriani, who was inspired by Marcello Gandini, chief designer of Bertone and freelance designer since 1980. Gandini was also
designer of the Osmos wheel and the Lamborghini Countach. While some may not
equate the Lamborbiker’s skeletal frame to the Lamborghini Countach, others may
still appreciate the design direction of the bike in terms of its curved lines
and sleek frame. The hubless wheels are also a great addition to the bike, as it
gives it more of a futuristic feel.

Friday Fire: Michael Jackson Coat of Arms

This week, I wanted to feature a throw back piece that Jason made for the late great Michael Jackson.

Michael personally hit Jason up to meet with him at the Neverland Ranch, where he presented him with the design for his own coat of arms. Now, if this piece looks a bit familiar, you will notice that it's similar to the Trinity Broadcast Network crest. However, rumor has it that it was actually designed as a replica of the coat of arms that lies over the entry archway of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in Hong Kong.
Only MJ (smile).

The piece is pretty big in size and made with flawless yellow and white diamonds. The crest can also be found on the gates of Neverland ranch which may be going up for auction soon.~vK

Friday Fire: Black Angel Wings Ring

So, about a month ago we did a feature on Rihanna's gorgeous "Angel Wings Ring". Here's a version of the same ring in black.
I'm definitely feeling this one; the black diamonds (which seems to be everyones fave these days) gives it a more edgy look.
Purdy. ~vK
