He's officially on the market again, girls. I mean, not any market that I've ever shopped at, but if someone could provide directions and a Clooney-sized shopping cart...

He's smart, socially-conscious, funny and very easy on the eyes. And we totally love that he can deliver the smoldering stare above, and then also do hovering plies on the lake. We love a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously.

HAPPY FRIDAY & HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS!

I have come to the slow, horrifying realization that I adore "statement" jewelry. Like I need another expensive fetish. Sure, a pair of diamond stud earrings are sparkly, but I would ignore the glare of the carats if these pieces were in the same room.

We have previously discussed accessories, but statement jewelry isn't just garnish. Some of the pieces are bold enough to be the main event. Meaning, you could practically wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with any of these, and still be considered dressed-up.

The least expensive piece is $275, and the most expensive is $2990. Can you guess which is which? Yes, statement jewelry is not cheap. It's big, it's bold, it's often created from hard-to-find materials, and it always turns heads. The "statement" truly being made, by most of these pieces, is "I spend more on my accessories than you spend on your rent".

Possibly followed by "Neener, neener, neener."

All above jewelry can be found at Vivre.

We are officially nominating ourselves as Chairwomen of the Cougar Committee with this particular subject.  Although, it could be worse.  We could be featuring the Jonas Brothers.  Chace Crawford is at LEAST 21.  We hope.

Chace is currently causing massive swoonage on the show Gossip Girl, and the writers have very generously created a storyline where he has some sexy-time with a woman in her late-30s.  YES!  Those smoky, bedroom-blue eyes, soft skin and pouty lips...where was I?  Oh.  And he also gained a fair bit of exposure for dating Carrie Underwood.

Speaking of exposure!  Once again, the dilemma of finding the ultimate shirtless photo... the shots I found were either VERY jailbait, or slightly Village People (think very crisp cowboy outfit).  We went with jailbait.  No judgment.
