Ring in the New Year

This New Year's Eve there is a simple formula for what to wear.

Embellished sweatshirt + skinny black pants + high heels + lots of bling = Perfect Evening

Follow our suggestions below and you are guaranteed to look great and have fun.

Moda Operandi features this fabulous embellished piece.

We envision the Moda Operandi top with our glitzy/fun Maria earrings made with emerald hydroquartz and vintage pressed glass posts with marcasites. Email us at themontagecollection@gmail.com if you must have them to ring in the new year!

Here is another great option. Rebecca Taylor has designed this sparkly cob web top which we love, love, love as a fun way to usher in the new year. http://www.rebeccataylor.com/tops/embellished-sweatshirt/invt/rt613525b094?source=239_75&cm_mmc=Google_AdWords-_-tops-embellishments-ebaarrivals-wxf-201-wxf-225-_-Embellished-Sweatshirt-_-884092531563&gclid=CLCxnfS-1rsCFSEV7AodH2cAvA

Our Dagmar earrings would definitely fill the bill here for a night on the town.

Our final sweatshirt suggestion is from J. Crew. Of course, we had to offer a gray option, so simple and so right for the occasion. http://www.jcrew.com/womens_special_sizes/xxs/knits/PRDOVR~04967/04967.jsp

Push up the sleeves of your fun sweatshirt and wear with one of our Quincy Swarovski cuffs and you are good to go! Oh, and one more thing......

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

HERE'S TO A FABULOUS 2014

Spring Shopping Guide

Net-a-porter is a great fashion resource and today I have researched their site to share some of my favorites from their new spring collections.

I can't help but love this tank from See by Chloe. It's young and fresh and can work from day to evening. The deep scoop neckline calls for a fun necklace.

From our Lexie Collection, we suggest pairing the Endicott necklace with this top because it is flirty and fun.

Here is another fabulous top to add to your spring wardrobe. It is from one of my all time favorite designers, Marni. I would choose pale gray cropped pants with it.

Keep the accessories simple here. Just push up the sleeves of the sweater and add the Buckley bracelet. http://www.myrnahalpern.com/557258/buckley-bracelet/

This stretch dress by Kenzo is sophisticated, but far from stodgy. Just a fabulous pair of earrings is all you need to highlight it. 

Our Bella earrings in gray recycled glass are the perfect counterpoint. http://www.myrnahalpern.com/557248/bella-earrings/

This fabulous dress by Erdem is a work of art. The silk fabric is simply stunning and the accessories need to be simple.

We think it is important to keep the accessorizing to a minimum here and we have chosen our Spencer bracelet, feminine and yet edgy to add the finishing touch.

What's Trending for the Holidays

I am often asked about my best sellers. In a few words I would say that gunmetal chains, pearls, and purple gemstones are really it! Just this week we have shipped gifts to lucky ladies in Chicago, New York, and Atlanta as well as to our local Southern gals. There is definitely a trend going on. Take a look.

Two fortunate women will be finding this beautiful gunmetal necklace under their tree.This one features gray pearls, amethysts and garnets. One lady will also be getting a gunmetal and amethyst short necklace to layer.... smart move!

This great duo features our Shari necklace of purple jade with the Marquette Cape amethyst earrings. Who wouldn't be thrilled to unwrap this beautiful gift.

In keeping with our purple trend, the purple druzy necklace on the bottom was the chosen gift for a very fortunate lady, and a purple agate necklace with black and gold chains is planned for an unsuspecting woman in Chicago.

Guess which of these bracelets was received this week by one of our Atlanta customers? Yes, the one with the gunmetal stones! These are actually hematite beads hand woven to embellish a black rubber bangle. Sweet!

Now on its way to a fortunate woman in New York, is the Leah necklace with its interesting combination of gunmetal chain and freshwater pearls, an interesting mix of edgy and feminine.

And, finally, our set of three Leah bracelets again featuring gunmetal and pearl, has been one of our most popular gifts this season.

Happy Holidays!

It's Party Time!

Wow, anyone who knows anything about anything knows that the end of the Thanksgiving holiday ushers in the beginning of the holiday season also know as Party Time! Hopefully you have at least  one fun party on your list during the month of December. What better time to talk about "party clothes!" Some of my favorites dresses may be found on http://www.net-a-porter.com

Let's begin with this stunner from Lela Rose. Love the shape and the irregular stripes. No, they would not make you look fat!

Wouldn't our hand woven onyx earrings add the perfect finishing touch!

This fabulous lace sheath by Burberry Prosum has party time written all over it. It passes all test.... seasonless, very flattering shape, and tres chic.

Our Dagmar earring would be the perfect compliment with just enough sparkle and just enough edge to keep the lace dress from getting too prissy.

Yes, her perfect legs definitely are an attribute for this sequined party frock by DKNY. Can't you see her out on the dance floor in a spin!

Gotta have our Squire earring to properly show off the DKNY dazzler spinning around on the dance floor. The gold stardust beading and onyx drops.... yes, Perfect!

Can't imagine anything more sophisticated than this sleek sheath by Roland Mouret. Wear with attitude, pah...leaze!

And, finally, add an unexpected touch of emerald green hydroquartz to the mix.... jaw dropping!

Let the good times roll, and enjoy!
