Oct 18, 2011 @ 6:30 pm

Model and eco-activist Angela Lindvall teamed up with Bali-based jewelry line John Hardy on a collection of recycled silver baubles for QVC. “I went to Bali for the first time in 2009 and was incredibly inspired by the compound and the artisans at John Hardy,” Lindvall told InStyle.com. “When I came up with the idea of designing my own collection, they generously offered to produce it.” The Angela by John Hardy collection features cocktail rings, bangles, earrings and necklaces priced from $79 to $615, and the pieces are set with both natural and cubic zirconia gemstones. The collection debuts with a live segment from the model tonight on QVC at 8/7c.

Jennifer Aniston’s Shortened KaufmanFranco Dress

Oct 18, 2011 @ 5:55 pm

Here’s a little inside fashion scoop: Jennifer Aniston’s sexy metallic mini wasn’t always mini! KaufmanFranco, the label behind the look, originally produced the deep-V neck column with linear sequin paillettes as a long gown for their fall 2011 collection. So, how did it end up short? Not by Aniston’s hands. Turns out, designers Ken Kaufman and Isaac Franco created a shorter version of the dress exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue stores, and that’s what ended up on the actress at the Elle Women in Hollywood celebration last night. And the designers enjoy seeing their creations land on the red carpet. “What makes a dress stand out is the woman who’s wearing it,” Franco told InStyle.com recently. Tell us: What do you think of the look?

Plus, do you prefer Jennifer as a blond or brunet? See the photos and decide.
