Thanks to teen bride/”singer”/aspiring reality star Courtney Stodden‘s hunger for the cameras, we’ve had the pleasure of seeing her in a variety of cringe-inducing outfits meant for someone her husband’s age.

JewelMint Will Help You Select The Best Jewelry For You
This post is from our sister site, TheGloss
Buying jewelry is the worst. Sure it starts off all fun, but then, after an hour of pawing through flea market rings and being blinded by all the sparkles blending together, you find yourself wondering, “A ring depicting a giant orangutan? In topaz? Is that me?” No! It’s not you! Someone should have told you that. Fortunately, JewelMint is here to help you out.
The members-only jewelry club will help you select which accessories are right for you based on a style and personality profile. You’ll answer questions like whether your taste is closer to Alexa Chung’s or Sarah Jessica Parker’s, and whether you prefer Chloe or Christian Dior. Once you’ve taken the quiz, they’ll select items that are the best fit for you. And all the pieces will be trendy, because JewelMint has teamed up with fashion icon Kate Bosworth and Hollywood’s stylist of the year Cher Coulter to design every piece featured on its site. It’s like having a friend with great taste who is always around to help you out – if your friend was a style savvy movie star. More »

Poll: Would You Wear Spirys’ Eyelash Jewelry?
Spirys is an Etsy store that sells intricate, vibrant jewelry… for your eyelashes! Weird, right? At first we were a little put off by the idea of gluing beads and feathers to the lids of our peepers, but as we browsed through the photos we came around to the idea. Some of these are pretty rad! And at $11 – $20 a (reusable) pop, they’re completely affordable.

Gruesome Accessories In Time For Halloween
Halloween may still be a couple weeks away, but that’s no reason to forgo the holiday spirit completely. And while we can’t walk around every day dressed like a slutty Snooki from the Jersey Shore (it’s kind of like regular Snooki, except you have to make out with whatever juicehead is closest to you), we can show our spooky pride by subtly pulling off some of these gross, weird, and downright scary accessories. Um, is that a rat on your head or are you just OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A RAT ON YOUR HEAD! More »
Accessory Hunt: Amrita Singh’s Typhus Ring Hits The Bullseye
Anyone who loves accessories knows that unique, quality pieces are hard to come by. Walk by a street vendor’s table littered with amazing jewelry and, of course, you have no cash on hand. Find an adorable ring at Forever 21 and watch your fingers slowly turn green. Spy a beautiful antique necklace through a shop window and woefully calculate how many movie tickets, cab rides or pints of ice cream that $500 could buy (the answer: so many). More »

Anonymous Celebrity: Jewelry Designer Kim Rittberg
See this gorgeous assymetrical amethyst necklace? It was crafted by the ever-Crushable Kim Rittberg, who balances designing her namesake jewelry collection with her day job as a TV producer who recently traveled through the sometimes-seedy landscapes of Peru in search of Joran Van der Sloot. Terrifying, right? Kim loves traveling to far-flung locales, and during a bout of post-college globetrotting, she was inspired to build on her longtime jewelry-making hobby.

Would You Wear It? : Knit Chain Accessories
We are kind of obsessed with these interlocked giant felt ropes that are becoming a big thing in the DIY fashion community (Alex McCord was wearing something similar on an episode this season of Real Housewives Of New York City, so you know it’s cool!).
