Miss USA 2012 Accessories Galore

As far as I can remember, tuning in to watch Miss USA, Miss Universe and pretty much any beauty pageant on television was a tradition in my home.  My mom, my sisters and I would make a day out of it.  We'd put makeup on and try to copy whatever look the contestants were sporting with anything we owned at home, even if it meant wrapping a curtain around us and pretending it was a gown!

This year in the "Meet the Contestants" shoot, the girls had an over the top Egyptian/Cleopatra look.  To get the look just turn to Layering and gold statement jewelry!

To get the Cleopatra statement necklace that Miss Illinois featured, you can't go wrong with the Nature Red Agate Gold Necklace by Susan Hanover.

Miss Indiana had layers of chunky cuffs on.  To get the same feel, cuff it up with the Simple Round Cuff by Anuja Tolia (Top) and the Dipped Bubbles Cuff by Selen Bayrak (Bottom). 

Clearly, layering accessories was the common theme this year and Miss New York does it to perfection.  To get your own layering effect but in a more subtle way, try the Nugget Wrap Necklace by KT Collection (Top) and pair it with the Purple Agate Necklace by Anuja Tolia (Bottom).

To resemble the winner this year, Miss Rhode Island, try the layered chain look! The Big Gold Link Necklace (Top) and the Small Circle Link Necklace (Bottom), both by KT Collection can be wrapped around your neck or your wrist so you'll be looking like a winner anywhere!
