The Great American Bubble Machine

The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it is everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

Savvy Shopping - Totally Turquoise

Great minds seem to be thinking alike this week about how the scale and proportion of jewelry can affect you overall look.

First blogger and image consultant, Imogen Lamport, just posted

How a large necklace can make your bust look smaller

(not that I think that anyone should try to make their bust look smaller...my philosophy is that if you've got it going in that department...flaunt it!)

Then today my favorite client stopped by my office today and very thoughtfully gifted me this fascinating book which explains how the right piece of jewelry is as important to an overall look as the right hairstyle.

Jewelry Savvy From Amazon.com

For me style has been just an intuitive thing. I've always tended to know what specific jewelry looks flattering on my clients in terms of scale, style, color and texture, but I've never really sat down and analysed why certain pieces fit certain clients.

Well this book explains it all in terms of very specific criteria such as facial shape, neck length, body type and cut of clothes. Plus it is full of all kinds of general info on jewelry and savvy tips. So I can't wait to read it!

And...here's my own savvy tip for you.
