Keeping great jewelry is sort of like owning a pet. You make a purchase based on cute-points, love it, keep it clean, and make sure to take it out of the house every so often. Clearly we are not the only ones who noticed this creature-couture likeness: Jewelry designers from Kenneth Jay Lane to Giles and Brother are turning to the zoo for design inspiration. Catch Jungle Fever here, with 12 hot pieces from this jewelry trend!

This 18k gold and Swarovski number by KJL makes us feel like a chic Snow White, with a birdie perched on our finger. [$106, ShopBop]

What I’m Wearing Today:

• Club Monaco Blazer
• Maeve Dress
• J.Crew Cardigan
• J.Crew Necklace
• J.Crew Tights
• J.Crew Heels

J.Crew should really be paying me. It’s like I’m schilling for the brand, with the amount of it that I wear each day. Click through to see what I wore earlier this week, along with some of my wardrobe secrets!

Whether you’re going to a friend’s party or your company’s annual holiday bash (and by “bash” we mean “s**t show”), a good dress is still nothing without great shoes. So do not even think about busting out those beat-up black pumps, they’re boring us already. Instead, pick up a pair of over-the-top pumps in bright silk, shiny sequins or deep patents. Just thinking about it gets us excited.

No one said you had to spend a lot of cash or anything. [$25, Wet Seal]

We’d never condone dressing like a junior under normal circumstances, but “New Moon” comes out this Friday, Nov. 20, and you have to look the part. (Yes, I’ll wait while you open a new tab to purchase your advance ticket on Fandango. I already have mine.) There’s enough cheesy, teen clothing available to go with the campy dialogue and situations in the Twilight Saga, but you’re an adult who doesn’t want to feel embarrassed, right? We’ve pulled together our favorite shirts that aren’t too obviously “New Moon,” so you can show your face around town after the movie.

With everyone bundling up in their heavy coats, the world is becoming a sea of black and gray (with spots of camel here and there). All the dark, neutral colors make fall and winter even more depressing. To add a little spunk to the season, we’ll wear a fun knit hat with a pom-pom on top; pom-poms are smile-inducing, like cupcakes and babies.
