Wading River, New York (Grassroots Newswire) 12/15/2011 -- It's the holiday season, and the New Year is just around the corner. For many women, this is a time to think about resolutions and new beginnings - a time of transformation. The challenge today, in a difficult economy, is creating a new look for the New Year without breaking the budget. Jillian Rollo, local Advisor for lia sophia, says the secret is to focus on new accessories that will give your tried-and-true wardrobe basics a fresh and current appeal. "It really isn't necessary to replace your favorite outfits with the latest styles in order to keep your look fashion-forward," said Rollo. "Instead, use your closet standards as a backdrop for some of today's bold and beautiful jewelry styles, and transform your wardrobe and your look easily and affordably." Rollo offers Long Island-area women the opportunity to preview and try on the latest fashion jewelry styles at fun and informal in-home demonstrations. In the company of friends, women can experiment with accessories to find a look that's right for them and for their life. "Statement pieces - bold, look-at-me styles - add a personal edge to everyday office attire that's confident but not too flashy," Rollo adds. "Neutral pieces that play well with a variety of fabric weights, colors and necklines are today's essential wardrobe companions." These selections from the current lia sophia Catalog help to illustrate the point. All of the styles showcase black, clear or white light-catching crystals, polished stones and sparkling glass beads in settings designed to add a subtle but striking note to outfits in a variety of styles and colors. Tudor Necklace Regal disks of textured matte gold are centered with diamond cut crystals and linked in a flattering swirl of gradient sizes on this adjustable 18-21 inch necklace. It's like wearing the Crown Jewels! Knock Out Necklace The contrast of matte black and polished hematite in this adjustable 17-20 inch cluster necklace packs a lot of punch that turns simple beads into a sensational attraction. Classique Necklace A collage of cut crystals, resin pearls, and glass beads dot the long and layered antique gold chain of this adjustable 43-46 inch necklace. Paris Lights Bracelet Half the cuff of this high-impact bangle bracelet is covered in glistening cut crystals in gradient shades of clear, black diamond, hematite and black and the other half is a band of crackle-textured hematite. The two halves come together with an easy open/close hinge and butterfly security clasp. Ransom Bracelet This captivating cuff bracelet showcases mounds of glittering cut crystals that offset a tower of a faceted bronze cut crystal set on a broad band of lacquered enamel.
