Emma Pillsbury's Box of Baubles

Glee Episode 11: Bringing Muhammad's mountain down

2009-11-29T15:28:00.000-08:00

Emma counsels Will in her office wearing a purple-blue sweater with large blueberry buttons. She wears a yellow bracelet that appears to be a favorite, seen previously here, here, and here. It goes with everything!

Glee Episode 10: Standing too close

2009-11-22T17:47:00.000-08:00

Emma is crushing hard on Will during his song of rejection. She wears a pendant necklace. It looks like a white flower, perhaps cabochon, on a brass ornate base. A touch more romantic than her usual style.

Glee Episode 10: Counseling a little too late

2009-11-22T16:35:00.000-08:00

Yes, probably in hindsight, he shouldn't have sung a ballad to Rachel. Better fix that with a second song, especially for her! Emma doesn't provide her most helpful counseling here, but she looks lovely in a pale blue sweater. The white necktie might be a bit much for others who wear beaded jackets with pearl buttons, but not Emma! Her wrist sports a large enamel white bracelet.

Glee Episode 9: . . .

2009-11-13T16:02:00.001-08:00

Glee returns from its hiatus while baseball airs. Sadly, this episode was without Emma, so we will have to wait another week to see what beauties she wears.

Glee Episode 8: Some things can't be mashed together

2009-10-24T08:49:00.000-07:00

Will resigns from his role as dance instructor and song mixer. Emma wears a blue cardigan (someone needs to blog about how many cardigans this girl has) with an oversized necklace. Invoking Wilma Flintstone, the large white beads have an asymmetrical pink flower accent.

Glee Episode 8: A wedding dance with the wrong man

2009-10-24T08:46:00.000-07:00

Emma brings Will to her bridal shop to try out her moves in her real wedding gown. Splendid and simple, just like our Emma. She wears understated pearl earrings with a Grecian hair wrap, embellished with rhinestones.

Glee Episode 8: Award for most clothes worn during the Thong Song

2009-10-24T08:44:00.000-07:00

Holy moly Miss Pillsbury! That is one terrible dress. Lots of bows going on with a lot of other stuff. I don't even know what to say.

Glee Episode 8: Dance lessons for her wedding

2009-10-24T08:42:00.000-07:00

Emma and Ken approach Will for help with their wedding dance song. She rocks the monotone look by wearing a blue daisy brooch on a blue cardigan. This is a different blue daisy than the one worn in episode 2. Of course. This one has a dark center with alternating dark and light blue petals, plus a stem.

Glee Episode 7: . . .

2009-10-16T09:50:00.001-07:00

Emma was not in episode 7, so sad. There will be no jewelry updates this week. Let's hope she's not on a honeymoon.

Glee Episode 6: Wishing for a reason to say no

2009-10-13T14:33:00.000-07:00

Emma confronts Will on her engagement to Ken. She wears a button-down shirt with tiny ruffles and a yellow double-stranded bead necklace. It's possible this is the same ladybug necklace seen before here and here, but with the clasp hidden and the necklace tightened.

Glee Episode 6: Curiously Unadorned

2009-10-13T14:30:00.000-07:00

Emma braves the locker room to accept Ken's proposal - with certain conditions. Although she has a neck bow, I'm calling this unadorned. Emma, thy neck and arms are so bare! She makes up for it with another double bow ensemble. Those are hard to pull off, but she does it TWICE in one episode.

By the way, I'm pretty sure this top was at Anthropologie, and it doesn't look nearly as good on me. I'm sorry I can't place clothes more often. I have no skill for it. From what I've read online and from comments, Emma dresses almost head to toe in J. Crew.

Glee Episode 6: Being the other woman

2009-10-13T14:26:00.000-07:00

Emma wears a simple collared white sweater with a tiny daisy pin. Demure and modest.

Glee Episode 6: An engagement proposal with celery

2009-10-13T14:22:00.000-07:00

Another bowed shirt! This periwinkle top has fabric rosettes as well as the white sailor collar tie. No jewelry, unfortunately.

Glee Episode 6: Judging the boys' performance

2009-10-13T14:19:00.000-07:00

A blink and you'll miss it shot reveals Emma in a purple top with neck sash and a maize sweater. Her right wrist might be wearing a gold charm bracelet, but it's hard to see.

Glee Episode 6: Intercepted by the fake pregnant fake nurse

2009-10-11T15:18:00.000-07:00

Emma is caught wooing Will in the faculty lounge. She fastens her tawny sweater with black flower and pearl clips. The chain looks similar to the owl clips chain, I'm suspicious that she just swapped out the clips. But I think this is an entirely new piece.

Glee Episode 6: Mustard Flirtations

2009-10-11T15:13:00.000-07:00

I might need to start a new "Double Bow" category for Emma's outfits. But this blog is about her jewelry, so I mussn't.

Emma matches her bow-tastic yellow shirt with a beaded bracelet. It appears to be the same one worn to lunch here, and here.

Glee Episode 5: Pleased that her plan worked

2009-10-03T16:33:00.000-07:00

Two shots are needed to show off Emma's wares at the Glee Club Invitational performance. She wears a five-petaled flower with center detailing, dipped in gold, but with a greenish sheen. Not sure if this is the color of the piece, or an effect from her red top. In one brief moment she shows us the pink starburst ring on her right hand. All is right with the world again.

Glee Episode 5: Pinkies up when taking papers

2009-10-03T16:29:00.000-07:00

Emma is tickled that Finn turns in a music scholarship application. But is she secretly just happy to have Rachel back in Glee, booting April out? She wears an elaborate golden orb pendant over a cool silk blouse.

Glee Episode 5: Fresh from the decontamination shower

2009-10-03T16:20:00.000-07:00

Emma changes into fresh clothes, choosing a high-necked white blouse with neck bow and close-fitting purple jacket with brocaded gold clasps.

Glee Episode 5: Hallway intervention

2009-10-03T16:18:00.000-07:00

Emma wears a kelly green cardigan with fabric flowers and ribbon stitched around the neckline. She clasps the front with gold leaf sweater clips. Squee! I hope she didn't have to destroy these after the vomiting.

Glee Episode 5: Regretting helping out

2009-10-03T16:13:00.000-07:00

Emma doesn't like Will's plan to bring April into Glee. But she dutifully provides April's school records and presents them in a smart black sweater with an abstract flower pin. The starburst design in black, white, and red is likely set in a metal frame. An uncharacteristic piece for Emma.

Glee Episode 5: Comparing glee to bobsledding

2009-10-03T16:10:00.000-07:00

Emma is more truthful with Will than she is with Finn. During this cutaway scene she waltzes down the hall in a flowered blouse with collar bow and dazzling triple stranded purple beads. The necklace is accented with a rhinestone flower.

Glee Episode 5: Suggesting an arts scholarship

2009-10-03T16:06:00.000-07:00

Emma wears her counselor hat with a coral pink cardigan with built-in fabric daisies.

Glee Episode 4: Cheering the Footballers

2009-09-26T10:10:00.000-07:00

In matching red coat and crocheted beret Emma wrings her hands during a tense last quarter. A cream colored sash from her top spills out of the coat collar.

[Note - Emma has a habit of tying her bows on her left side. Meanwhile she wears her asymmetrical necklaces with the accent on the right side. Interesting.]

Glee Episode 4: Lunch Not Being Intruded

2009-09-26T10:07:00.000-07:00

Emma nibbles on carrots in the faculty lounge and allows Will to join her table with Ken. Her neckline is full of soft blue sweater leaves. Her wrist sports a yellow large beaded bracelet. This could be the same bracelet worn to lunch in Episode 2, while she was polishing grapes.

Glee Episode 3: Watching the New Acafellas

2009-09-23T12:12:00.000-07:00

Emma gazes adoringly at the stage, not sure which man to cheer more. A white flower brooch blossoms from her yellow sweater. What appeared to be a hydrangea at first, on closer inspection is one large flower, perhaps a magnolia without the correct leaf.

Glee Episode 3: Announcing Henri is in Rehab

2009-09-23T12:09:00.000-07:00

Emma interrupts Ken and Will rehearsing while wearing a salmon top and pale orange skirt. This ensemble has double the bows! A sweet bracelet accents her wrist.

Glee Episode 3: Curiously Unadorned

2009-09-23T12:06:00.000-07:00

Emma attends the car wash fundraiser for a new choreographer in a smart black jacket with while polka dots. But Emma, how bare thy neck! Those tiny earrings don't count as adornment in this circle.

Glee Episode 3: Attending the Acafellas' Debut

2009-09-23T12:03:00.000-07:00

Emma is dazzled by the dancing gentlemen. But hark! Is this the first jewelry encore? Her yellow double-stranded beaded necklace looks awfully similar to the one she was wearing in her first appearance. Another blogger who is a fan of Emma Pillsbury identified it as a yellow ladybug necklace from J. Crew.

Glee Episode 3: Polishing Orchids

2009-09-23T11:58:00.000-07:00

Emma and Will are comfortable talking about relationships now that they are both in relationships. Nope, no awkwardness there. Emma furiously polishes in office plants with white gloves and a set of gold star collar clips chained together.

Glee Episode 2: Settling for Less

2009-09-15T18:18:00.000-07:00

Emma compromises her romantic aspirations and accepts Ken's invitation to Tulipalooza. Twin owl clips perch on her collar wings, connected by a lavender beaded chain. {This is the piece which inspired this blog. Seriously, owl clips?! Emma is fan.tas.tic.}

Glee Episode 2: Polishing Grapes

2009-09-15T18:15:00.000-07:00

Emma's sprightly green sweater is accented by a simple yellow round bead bracelet.

Glee Episode 2: Glee Debut Assembly

2009-09-15T18:03:00.000-07:00

Emma wears a bejeweled sky blue sweater to the gymnasium. In this quick shot you can catch the large blue daisy pin affixed to her blouse. "Yay, Glee! clapclapclap."

Glee Episode 2: Playing House

2009-09-15T18:01:00.000-07:00

Emma shares some inner secrets with Will while cleaning the science room. She sports what appears to be a favorite necklace style: stranded beads with a flower on the side. This is a triple set of jade-like beads in varying sizes with a resplendent white flower.

Glee Episode 1: Gum on Her Shoe

2009-09-13T12:19:00.001-07:00

[a late addition]

Cinderella is rescued wearing 5 large gold balls on a single chain.

Glee Episode 2: A Good Cry

2009-09-13T12:01:00.000-07:00

Emma has paired her forest green cardigan with a silver bouquet brooch.

Glee Episode 2: Hypocrital Guidance

2009-09-13T12:00:00.000-07:00

We see Emma in her role as guidance counselor to Rachel. She wears a fabulous enamel necklace of coral colored flowers with dangling beads.

Glee Episode 2: Curiously Unadorned

2009-09-13T11:58:00.000-07:00

Emma plans to bump into Matthew. Although she comments on their matching periwinkle, she is curiously unadorned.

Glee Episode 1: Inspring Joy

2009-09-13T11:39:00.000-07:00

Gasp! Is she unadorned again? No, in a quick-or-you'll-miss-it shot we see a yellow and green beaded bracelet with gold links.

Glee Episode 1: Concerned

2009-09-13T11:37:00.000-07:00

Emma has another encore, this time with a purple neck bow. However this one is darker, larger, and accented by brass buttons.

Glee Episode 1: Rejecting Advances

2009-09-13T11:36:00.000-07:00

Emma turns down the Ken Tanaka's invitation with a necklace similar to the one in her first scene. However this one is with lemonade beads, closer together strands, and has a mint-colored flower on the opposite side.

2009-09-13T08:50:00.000-07:00

Emma forgoes jewelry while enjoying her celery sticks in a brown short jacket.

Glee Episode 1: PB and J

2009-09-13T08:48:00.000-07:00

Emma shares a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with Matthew, while wearing a grape jelly-colored neck sash. It appears to be part of the shirt and does not need extra adornment.

Glee Episode 1: Meet Emma

2009-09-13T08:44:00.000-07:00

"Good morning, Matthew," says Emma, in double-stranded mustard colored beads with asymmetrically placed white flower.

Welcome

2009-09-11T17:37:00.000-07:00

One of the myriad of reasons to enjoy Glee is the character Emma Pillsbury. Not only is she sweet and prim, she's a little crazy. She also has what has to be the most fantastic jewelry box ever. This blog was created to chronicle the contents of her box based on the glimpses given in each episode. Follow me on a journey of discovery and envy as we investigate Emma's fancy wearables.
