PEARL FASHION: Pearl Brows for your Wedding Day
We are not sure if we like this look outside of the editorial, but we do love pearls and more than pearls we love artists that think outside of the box.
This look comes from the Emily INDIE Magazine online editorial that was shot by German photographer Lukasz Wolejko-Wolejszo and styled by Dana Roski to inspire brides-to-be to think unique and stylish when it comes to the wedding choices they make for their big day.
We definitely think that this look is totally daring but is this something that you would consider wearing on your wedding day? Surely, this would be a conversation piece and many just may love the look.

CELEBRITY FASHION: Nicki Minaj in Pearly Captains Hat
Ahoy there mates! We know who the captain of this fashion ship is… a woman that steers her own helm. The beautiful Nicki Minaj was spotted last year during her 4th of July Myx Fusions’ Myx & Mingle cruise in New York City, 2013.
The Massive Attack artist almost served the crew and passengers a heart attack in her bright white Herve Leger wrap dress, showing off all of her curves; sexy red nails and glittery peep toe shoes.
What we love the most about her look is the pearly captain’s hat that topped off the look amazingly. Nicki is a woman that knows how to switch up from her sexually charged hip hop style to a look that is classy and chic.
CELEBRITY FASHION: Rihanna in Super Large Coco Chanel Pearls
We love a great siting and nothing beats seeing the singer, Rihanna, all dressed up and on the go at the Coco Chanel Show during Paris Fashion Week.
Dressed from head to toe in Chanel and posing with the fashion genius, Karl Lagerfeld, we could not help but notice the arm candy on Rihanna’s tattooed wrist.
She is wearing two of the super large pearls that were seen during Chanel’s 2014 Spring/Summer Fashion Show. Aren’t they amazing?

PEARL FASHION: The Great Gatsby Movie Featuring Loads of Pearls
The Great Gatsby (2013) was a great movie that gained loads of attention due to its awesome casts, storyline, and gorgeous costumes but we at Pearls Only could not help but take some time to honor the jewelry of the movie, with the main focus being the beautiful pearls!
Pearls are very important to the Great Gatsby because without pearls you cannot truly embody the look of the 20s when Flappers were out and about. This is why costume designer, Catherine Martin, and director, Baz Luhrmann, teamed up with the famous jewelers, Tiffany & Company, to create a line of jewelry so fantastic, that it has its own featured role! It is so necessary to acknowledge the work and research that Catherine and Tiffany had to do to make the movie realistic to the flapper style of the 20s. If you look back to the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby, Daisy’s signature is her long strand of pearls.
