There's a playful quality to the dress Rachel Bilson wore to the Awake premiere in New York City, but her look is still sophisticated and polished. The asymmetrical and geometric elements give the look a youthful vibe we really dig.

Jessica Biel loves her Year of the Dog NeckLace from the Gold Label by Tina Tang and so do we!

The simple and stylish Zodiac dog necklace is 14kt yellow gold and is inscribed with the words "Honest" and "Loyal" on the reverse side. The necklace costs $550, but it's her favorite everyday necklace. She was spotted out and about with Justin Timberlake...and her dogs - always wearing her Tina Tang necklace. The necklace is a perfect choice for Jess since she was born in 1982 (a dog year on the Chinese Zodiac).

Tina Tang also offers less expensive sterling silver versions of her designs at tinatang.com.

Join Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes and Rosario Dawson and give back to the causes closest to your heart with Cartier’s New LOVECharity Bracelets. $100 from the sale of each red, white or blue silk-knotted bracelet linked with an 18k white gold miniature will benefit its corresponding charity.

Ivanka Trump and Lauren Bush are among the celebs loving JacksonReyes Designs, a new line of fine jewelry with a unique interchangeable twist.

The collection starts with four "base" pieces, two earrings (a stud and a hoop) and two necklaces (a choker and a chain). Adding to the base pieces are five "extensions” that attach to the bases to instantly transform them into entirely different pieces of jewelry. For those of us that don't have a celebrity budget, the ability to mix and match to create many looks is genius.
