This year, style setters like Sandra Bullock and Michelle Obama have been spotted in beautiful bold necklaces in combinations of colored pearls and rhinestones. College aged girls are pairing traditional pearl necklaces with edgier pieces that sparkle and shine. Working women are incorporating bodacious baubles like pearl and rhinestone broaches when choosing their daily look. However they're worn, these eclectic and fun combinations are budget friendly and fashion forward. So we salute this rise of CZ jewelry and anxiously anticipate what's next.What woman doesn't want to look her at best? CZ jewelry, paired with pearls is a perfect combination for creating a pulled together, yet fun look. Traditionally, pearl jewelry has been thought of as proper and prim, even boring. But when you pair pearls with CZ jewelry, suddenly, there's a different spin on a classic favorite.

There's really no wrong way to wear this look. If you have pearls in your jewelry box that you've inherited from your mother or grandmother, consider updating them by mixing with CZ jewelry. Look for pieces set in oxidized silver with black or clear rhinestones. You can try layering necklaces or bracelets to create a unique combination. Play around with different wardrobe options as well. You might find that you like wearing this combo to the office, or maybe it's better for dressing up a t-shirt.

Pearls and Cubic Zirconia jewelry have an aura of retro, but they also look a little rock and roll. Don't be afraid to try small touches of each, if you're not sure of how the style would work on you. On the other hand, if you're ready to dive head first into this one, then try incorporating different textures as well. CZ jewelry comes in all forms and settings – everything from metal to ribbon can be used to create an interesting and fashion forward design.

Any woman who has ever watched the flick Working Girl knows that the rules for dressing for the office have come a long way since the 80s. Women are now allowed to have much more freedom when dressing for business and business casual environment. Even so, those terms are loosely defined. While there are some items that are definitely a "no-no" when you're at your 9 to 5 job (i.e. sweat pants or shorts), others are considered borderline. For example, is it okay to wear CZ jewelry to the office? We examine this new trend.

Cubic Zirconia was typically thought of for special events like a wedding, a prom or a black-tie dinner, but fashion has become a lot more liberal, and so have the rules for wearing these type of accessories. Sure, CZ jewelry is sparkly, flashy and noticeable, but that doesn't mean that you can't still work it into your wardrobe for work. Here's how:

With jeans – Most offices have a casual Friday, so take advantage and present yourself in a way that is comfortable yet still pulled together. For example, try a great fitting pair of jeans with a t-shirt and boyfriend blazer. To top off the look, add Cubic Zirconia jewelry in the form of a great cuff or a broach.

With a sheath or suit – For office environments where you're expected to look polished and prim all the time, consider having a little fun with your look. Cubic Zirconia jewelry can be just the ticket for adding some interest and edge. Try a great statement necklace, a fun cocktail ring or CZ bracelets in a bold color.For everyday wear – If you can't afford a great pair of diamond studs, consider CZ jewelry as an alternative. You can pick up great classic pieces that you'll ready get your wear out of. Plus, when you buy Cubic Zirconia jewelry to wear day in and day out, you won't feel guilty.

Cool weather brings thoughts of warm fuzzy sweaters, evenings by the fire, hot cocoa, and of course, holiday parties. Every year women attend an average of 3 holiday parties, where they get glammed up and adorn themselves with sparkly accessories. This year, when you're getting dressed for an event, whether it's a neighborhood party, a work get-together or a friendly gift exchange, instead of spending a lot on a new outfit, put out a tried and true favorite and compliment it with the perfect pair of earrings. Here are our tips for getting through this holiday season in style and on a budget:

Consider clip on earrings – Clip earrings can typically be a lot cheaper than their pierced counterparts. And anyone can wear them. The best part is that some designs can be very heavy, and clip earrings are really the best choice, as they don't weigh down your earlobes. Black rhinestones are hot this year, while yellow gold is a tried and true favorite.

Clusters are hot – If you're not the statement necklace type of girl, you'll be happy to know that statement earrings are big (literally!). Clusters of rhinestones, chandelier drop or overlay clip earrings are your best bet for adding interest and keeping the attention focused above your collarbone.

Season specific – Take advantage of the sights and sounds of the season with pierced or clip on earrings that are inspired from the elements of nature and the holidays. Acorns, feathers and leaves remind you of fall, while snowflakes and bows are great for winter. With new modern designs, these classics are re-born and can be a token accessory for seasons to come.

Colored stones – Jewel tones and rich colors are great this time of the year. In the form of earrings, they are great for adding a burst of color to a monotone outfit. And don't be afraid to step out of the box and ditch classic ruby and emerald, in favor of amethyst, midnight blue or golden yellow. Look for Cubic Zirconia as a safe bet for quality pieces that don't cost a lot. In clip earrings or pierced, you'll find a variety of options from which to choose.
