Lia Sophia Jewelry Dresses Up Fashionistas for Fashion Week

Celebrities and bloggers alike love lia sophia. During Fashion Week, we got a posh preview of the high-end costume jewelry line's colorful Spring/Summer 2012 collection, as well as the gypsy-inspired Red Carpet Zingara collection.

Two favorites included the Natayla Necklace ($350; above photo) with clear cut crystals in antique gold and the Agape Cuff Bracelet ($300) with clear cut crystals with tangerine resin in matte gold.

As I left the lia sophia Fashion Suite with my gift of a brilliant pair of long, crystal drop earrings, an always dapper Miss J Alexander was on his way in.

"They [lia sophia pieces] are easy to wear.  You can dress them up or dress them down," gushed the "America's Next Top Model" runway coach.  "Not only can you wear them with a cocktail dress, you can also wear them with jeans."

While the Red Carpet pieces start at $125, a lia sophia spokesperson says the average lia sophia customer spends about $40.  Although I wish lia sophia was available online and in stores, the jewelry is only available for purchase through an advisor.  It's worth the extra effort to purchase lia sophia, however, since becoming an advisor offers women who love the brand a fun entrepreneurial opportunity.

To find an advisor in your area or for info on how to become one, go to lia sophia's website.
