It's no secret that I love Baublebar. I'm obsessed with the affordable price points, the fashion-forward approach to jewelry and, naturally, the recent collaboration with DKNY. Just in time for the pretty preppy spring trends, BaubleBar released a new series of personalized jewelry.

In just 3 - 5 weeks, you can have your very own personalized pieces, from initials to monograms, for $152 and under. There's something so organic and comforting about monograms. Sure, you can get your initials embroidered on your towels or a plush bathrobe, or if you're extra posh, on your Louis Vuitton luggage.

BaubleBar's collection of custom pieces is pretty extensive. For example, you can customize:

Octagon Initial Bracelet, $50

Initial Stud Earrings, $50

Hexagon Pendant Necklace, $52

Engraved Monogram Necklace, $152

Plus, they offer the classic nameplate necklace or, if you're feeling tech-chic, a Twitter nameplate version.

Since I'm a bit sentimental, I love the idea of personalized jewelry (and wear a few pieces of my own). How do you feel about the trend?

When I received this information, I admittedly got a little emotional. Alzheimer's is a disease that is very close to my heart, and certainly a cause that I wish I was more involved in. On Friday, March 2, HSN will launch the Rita Hayworth Collection during a special HSN Cares event hosted by Alzheimer's champion and Miss America 1971, Phyllis George. From March 1 to March 31, 10% of the sales of the jewelry Collection will go to benefit the Alzheimer's Association.

The Rita Hayworth Collection is inspired by pieces from the famed actress' own collection. The screen legend lost her own battle with Alzheimer's in 1987. “We are excited by this unique opportunity that HSN is creating to promote awareness and eventually find a cure for this devastating disease,” said Angela Geiger, chief strategy officer at the Alzheimer’s Association. “Sharing Rita Hayworth’s connection to the disease by creating a beautiful line of jewelry not only honors the life of this Hollywood legend; it brings much needed awareness to a disease that far too few understand, even today.”

The Rita Hayworth Collection ranges in price from $24.95 to $129.95. The pieces can be seen as part of the HSN Cares event airing March 2 at 10 & 11pm or shop the collection online now.

There's something so magical about spending the day shopping with a great friend. In SoHo, almost every brand you could possibly dream of is represented in one form or another and it seems as is the fashion world is at your fingertips. Strolling from boutique to boutique you become entranced by the new and the possibilities of the future. So much to wear....so little time. These are the treats I picked up along the way.

At DKNY: French Grain Leather Shoulder Bag With Strap in Cherry, $195. Long Sleeve Cozy in Maraschino, $195.

At Kate Spade: Gold Coast Bright Evangaline in Neon Pink, $395. Twirl Bow Cuff, $175.

Have you picked up anything new and fun for spring? I'd love to hear about what you bought or what you're coveting!

Michael Kors Rose gold-plated stainless steel watch

$250.00 by Michael Kors at Net-A-Porter

After weeks of window shopping - aka digital stalking - the Michael Kors rose gold watch finally seduced me. I admit it - I am powerless to resist the lure of these stunning watches. They've been gracing the wrists of the stylish for seasons now, but it was finally the rose gold style that made me weak in the knees.

if you're as seduced by the Michael Kors watches as I am, I highly recommend visiting a retailer to view the full collection in person. There are so many face sizes, band choices and even dial differences that it can make choosing between models very difficult. I purchased the style above only yesterday from Lord & Taylor, where the band choices alone were staggering.

What I love most about the style that I chose was that it works well with me proportionally. It's not too large or too small, and will remain a classic for seasons to come. In recent months there has definitely been a resurgence in timepieces - have you made any watch purchases? I'd love to hear about what pieces have made you weak in the knees.

We've dished the hairstyles, the makeup and (of course) the gorgeous gowns from last night's Golden Globes, but we haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to the stunning jewels adding the finishing touch to their red carpet looks. I worked directly with the Diamond Information Center to get the inside scoop on the hottest diamond styles and most expensive looks from the 2011 Golden Globes. Ready for a major case of jewelry envy? Here we go!

Most Expensive Diamonds

Helen Mirren, the queen of all that is classy and elegant, was absolutely dripping in $1.7 million worth of Cartier diamonds. The necklace alone has a total weight of 55.08 carats!

Emily Elizabeth Jewelry Punk Love Stud Earrings

$48.00 at Max & Chloe

Call me crazy, but I've always been inspired by ladies who are brave enough to wear mismatched earrings. When it works - it really works and there's no formula for recreating the look. It's one of those mystical, magical style intersections that just happens.

When I discovered Emily Elizabeth's Punk Love mismatched stud earrings, I was absolutely elated. Designer Emily Elizabeth Kolins makes it effortless to wear mismatched earrings. I'm absolutely head over heels for these earrings. They feel like my special style secret every time I wear them.

While I still haven't been brave enough to try to mismatch earrings from within my own collection, the Punk Love studs have definitely filled this Gemini-esq style void (for now).

Have you ever worn mismatched earrings? I'd love to hear how you braved this style challenge!

Gorjana Horseshoe Studs

$40.00 by Gorjana at shopbop.com

I'm not sure whether it's my equestrian past from Arkansas that's subconsciously sneaking up on me or I'm feeling the need for an extra bit of luck, but I can't get the thought of a darling pair of horseshoe stud earrings out of my mind.

The instant I saw these Gorjana Horseshoe Studs, I instantly knew they belonged on my ears. With brushed 18k gold, these studs are 1/2" an inch wide, which just happens to be just about the perfect size for a pair of studs.

Superstition says that you should always keep the ends of a horseshoe pointed up so your luck doesn't run out - keep those ends up, ladies!
