The Social Girls

Everyone is all a buzz about the new movie The Social Network. We are taking a big shine to the female cast members. Each has their unique look and style and are definitely something to ‘like’ on your own Facebook wall today. CC Skye is a jewelry line seen on almost every IT girl as they walk down the street. We think these ladies from The Social Network and CC Skye make a great match.


Teen starlet Malese Jow showed her dark side in The Vampire Diaries but everyday this actress is far more down to earth. The singer and actress would be a perfect girl to wear CC SKYE Gold Feather Hoop Earrings, an elegant statement that will add something new to a growing collection of in vogue items.


Being the daughter of composer Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton is not the only thing makes Rashida Jones top of the cool ladies to watch list. She is relaxed and fun, and suited to wear items that are a little more out of the ordinary. The original CC SKYE Wide Oxidized Mesh Bracelet is an example of something that can be easily worn by those who want a ‘hero’ bracelet. We can see Rashida Jones and this CC SKYE Mesh Bracelet becoming longtime friends.


Besides her role in The Social Network, Rooney Mara is also know as the actress who has been given the coveted leading role in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. She isn’t the girl next door, but the girl next door’s wild-eyed younger sister. The CC Skye Gold Screw Patent Leather Bracelet in Purple is perfect for a smart and practical woman like Rooney Mara and is an ‘IT Girl’ necessity.


Dakota Johnson is the Granddaughter of actress Tippi Hedren, daughter of Melanie Griffith and is truly a style child. Dakota is not unfamiliar with the red carpet and needs a transitional piece of jewelry that works easily for day and night. The CC SKYE Wide Gold and Black Magnetic Deco Cuff Bracelet is a loved cuff that can and should be worn on any occasion.

For the next two weeks you too can get these pieces of jewelry everyone is buzzing about by taking advantage of a big October sale, 25% off. (Use code CCSKYE25 today!)

Warm summer nights present the perfect opportunity to glam up with some of our favorite designers.

We love Alexis Bittar for his pretty pieces made of glowing lucite and shimmering stones. CC Skye is also on the jewelery hot list for their feminine punk style. Pair these designers with your favorite skinny jeans, sassy stilettos and a top and you're ready to go!

Get her look: Zooey Deschanel in "She & Him"

Style icon Zooey Deschanel is at it again. The actress, songwriter, singer, and all around sweetheart has teamed up with M. Ward to produce She & Him, a 13 track album that hit stores earlier this week. With song titles like "In The Sun" and "Lingering Still," one gets the feeling that Zooey's music is as pure and as down to earth as her signature style. The self-professed geek prefers indie labels over runway trends and carefully tailored pieces with mindful details. Her color palette of choice is akin to nature, with lots of earthy tones and soft shades of blue, green and pink. Here, inspired by photos from the "She & Him" collaboration, we channel a bit of Zooey's lingering spirit via our favorite Creative Contrast merchants so you too can get her look.

Look One: CHAN LUU Gold Vermeil Wrap Bracelet on Lawn, $215. CC SKYE Jagger Mini Statement Necklace‏ , $245ORLA KIELY Linear Cutlery Print Big Zip Wallet in Black, $92.

Look Two: Orla Kiely Butterfly Stem Purse, $70. Tolani Honeycomb Chocolate/Tan Combo Scarf, $80. Kenneth Jay Lane Flower Garden Party Drop Earrings, $102.

Bangin' Out This Spring With CC Skye Screw Cuffs

BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFlpQeTJhNm9VM3hHbGRzcnE1eF9jVlEAAAACaWQKAXgAAAAEc2l6ZQ

Another few specks of heaven to add to my Spring time wishlist -- CC Skye Screw Bracelets in a myriad of eye candy colours. Considering I've always been a faithful admirer of what's seemingly becoming a timeless trend known as "stackin' up the bangles and cuffs", these precious little buckled bracelets serve as the perfect compliments to my chunkier "wrist bling" accessories. Though it wouldn't please me more than to cop this style in every single available hue, (if I had to narrow it down) my wrists will be undoubtedly transfixed on the fluorescent pink, neon yellow and electric blue gold screw leather cuffs. And, with CC Skye's lovely celebrity following of some of fashion's most style-conscious gals like Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Leighton Meester, Olivia Palermo (this list can go on and on), it's quite evident just how revered this designer label is fast becoming.

Although the current, chilly winter months are still lingering heavily around us, there's no harm in prepping before the warm, cheerier Spring season rolls on in. And though I always have a soft spot for my winter greys, blacks, and taupes, I'm very much looking forward to bangin' out my wardrobe with daring, vibrant colours in the form of aesthetically fresh accessories, frilly dresses, and slightly jeweled footwear. What better way than to start out with a few little heavenly bracelets to add to my jewelry tray? Luckily, my go-to hip spot, Creative Contrast, now has them available in every hue imaginable, and during the month of February, they're offering $5 off any purchase, as well as free shipping on your shopping buys that are over 100 bucks. Just enter promo code VDAY5 at checkout. Not bad indeed. Take a peep!

Who Wore It Best: Olivia Palermo v. AnnaLynne Mccord


If these ladies have anything to do with the economy over the next few seasons, the power ring will replace the power suit and style will save us all.

Olivia Palermo and Annalynne Mccord are both known for their smash television hits, The City and 90210, as well as their killer sense of style. Olivia is an Upper East Side socialite who has a personal stylist at Bergdorf Goodman on speed dial and closet of blazers on continual rotation. AnnaLynne, on the other hand, plays a California girl who counts skin tight dresses and bikinis as acceptable business attire.

Clearly both women agree that black and white works well on both coasts and in any occasion. They also agree that the CC Skye Blossom Ring is a must.

Dressed in a fitted blazer and buttoned-up blouse, Olivia Palermo added an element of surprise to her look with CC Skye's sparkling ring. The sizable piece is made up of tiny rectangular rhinestones and attention-grabbing details. We love how the CC Skye Blossom Ring compliments Olivia's otherwise conservative look and has everyone taking notes on her personal style.

Dressed in a flirty dress at the "Naturally Victoria's Secret" Bath and Body Launch, AnnaLynne also modeled the CC Skye Blossom Ring like a pro. Her laid back attitude was kept in check by her choice of sophisticated accessories.

So tell us, whose style do you prefer? Olivia's grown up glam or AnnaLynne's soft sparkle? Let us know by leaving a comment or tweeting "Olivia Palermo" or "AnnaLynne" to @creativecontrst!

CC Skye - So Wickedly Glam, So Enticingly Sweet


With CC Skye's designs, the evident sex appeal and significant doses of glam that exude each piece make the idea of sporting such elements of must-have, luxury bling a lot more enticing. And with this in mind, it stands as no surprise that their recent collection has me completely and pleasantly enamored. Interestingly, CC Skye's aesthetic take on jewelry design incorporates a clever mix of the "timeless classic" coupled with a modern and chic, city-girl twist, which I absolutely adore.

Each piece conveys a certain unique statement that is all its own - from studded gold, black leather double-wrap bracelets with gold screws, interlocking bangles and bracelets, an array of silver jeweled pieces, to one-of-a-kind, mesmerizing rings that capture a touch of rock-star edge, their collection will undoubtedly bring something a bit special to any piece in every gal's wardrobe.

Imagine a glamorous, skimming black cut-out dress for your special nights out or possibly a simple, flowing cream-coloured blouse and jeans for day paired with one of CC Skye's gold bangles or statement-making rings. Rocking such pieces will definitely lead to some head-turning results. It's no wonder why some of today's most sought after celebs like Rihanna, Eve Mendes, Fergie, Mary Kate Olsen, and many others are strolling around the streets with a CC Skye design.

Here's a must-have roundup from the recent collection. You can shop through and cop your favorite pieces at Creative Contrast, which thankfully lists these lovelies at happily, lower prices.

CC Skye's New Collection: Elegant and Surprising, from fantasy to nature!

I know I just posted about the CC Skye screw bracelets, but I wanted to add to that with these amazing images from CC Skye's new collection. I love the elegant, surprising look to all of the pieces. CC Skye reinvents the "hoop" earring withe beautiful designs (from feathers to branches). The angel wing necklace brings a touch of fantasy to the collection. The "Pave" line is simply my favorite (images 4-7). Each piece is original, fun, and perfect for every outfit!

The perfect gift for every girl- CC Skye Screw Bracelets!

So, I'm really excited because I just decided what I'm going to get my bestfriends and my sisters for Christmas; CC Skye Italian Leather Screw Bracelets. They come in a lot of amazing colors, from florescent pink to metallic gold, to classy, simple white. They've been seen on Miley Cyrus, Hillary Duff, Kim Kardashian, Gwen Stefani and Rhianna.

The details: they are made from Italian leather (SO soft!) with 18 karat gold plated screws and buckle. They're adjustable too, so they fit most wrist sizes (even mine and I have really small wrists).

I posted my favorite colors below, what do you think? I'm going to get each of them a different color. Oh, and they come gift boxed too! (If there are any moms reading this, they're great for stocking stuffers!)
