Kelly Rowland Definitely Has ‘The X Factor’ in Elodie K. Diamonds

The X Factor’s newest celebrity judge, Kelly Rowland, flaunted her summer style this past week in Liverpool for the final auditions of the shows’ UK edition. Rowland accessorized floral shorts and a fitted blazer with a few large statement pieces and topped the look off with a dainty gold and diamond finger bracelet by new line, Elodie K.

Kelly stepped out for the show wearing the yellow gold and three diamond finger bracelet, but numerous variations of the concept have become a signature in new designer Elodie Khayat’s line. Only a few months into launching and Elodie K. has already been seen on numerous celebrities and socialites around Hollywood.

With Kelly debuting the piece in the UK, it seems the line’s free-spirited luxury vibe works for trendsetters around the world. Appropriate, given the designer grew up in Paris, lives in Los Angeles and was raised amongst fashion heavy hitters such as uncle Max Azria. Elodie K.’s easy to wear, fun, intricate collection of finger bracelets, earrings, body chains, rings and head pieces are the perfect accent to any summer wardrobe. The line is available for purchase at Rose Arik in Los Angeles and Alchemist in Miami.

Yellow Gold and 3 Diamond Finger Bracelet (shown above with 7 diamonds), $595

But there are ways to wear it that, for the willing, give it a sultry update as a fashion for fall 2011, and most certainly as an ongoing trend in spring 2012.

After the break we'll take you through examples of the statement cut for the coming seasons, including a look at who's designing it and how they've done it.

Real Housewives of Orange County Peggy Tanous: INFDaily.com

The“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Peggy Tanous recently chatted with INFDaily.com for an exclusive interview sharing her battles with postpartum depression on the show and making holistic living livable. And, of course, she dishes about the housewives!

On Other Seasons Of The Real Housewives of Orange County:
I watched the show Season 2 a little and didn’t start watching it again until last year. I joined the cast because I wanted something part time to have other than mommy stuff that didn’t take me away from my family very often! Being a former TV host and model I also thought it could be a good way to jump start my career again now that my babies are getting older!

On Being Open About Her Battles With Postpartum Depression:
I have been open with my PPD because I’m hoping my story can help other women going through it and because I want to get more awareness out there about it.

On Clean Living and Plastic Surgery:
I think of being holistic as being spelled with a W meaning whole! I am holistic by what I do and don’t put into my body for the inside, but also think you need to keep up the outside! I call it maintenance! And really the only plastic surgery I’ve had are my breasts!!! Plastic surgery is being cut open! Doing Botox a few times a year and having filler in my top lip is my maintenance, not plastic surgery! I feel like anything that makes you feel better about yourself is great!!! As long as you don’t go overboard!

On Jumpstarting Her Modeling Career:
It’s going great when I actually have time to focus on it!! Between raising my babies, spending time with my husband and trying to keep up with all this show stuff I haven’t had a lot of extra time! I am now the spokesmodel for a great OC clothing designer and I have some big hosting opportunities in the works!!
