Trends in Fashion Accessories
Fashion accessories are typically the easiest and cheapest way to update an otherwise outdated outfit. For the broke high-schoolers and twenty somethings, accessories are sometimes the only fashion items that are affordable. Tried and true, incorporating seasonal accessories make enough of a different to take on outfit from bad to good. Follow our posts on the latest accessories trends here!
Dalla Nonna Calendar Jewelry
Rebecca Richards and Jessica Bohrer are lawyers by day, and the designers behind Dalla Nonna by night. Their calendar necklace and bracelet are adorable pieces of jewelry. The jewelry is made to order, so you get customizeĀ theĀ entire piece, including, metal, finish, stone, month, day (the day the stone will be placed over), and an option for a second stone in the piece.
TOM TOM: Shape Shape It Up Spring 2010
I have my eye on Tom Tom Jewelry’s Spring 2010 “Shape Shape It Up” collection. The geometric shapes, gems, and flashy metallic ornaments are named after some of my favorite songs to shake it to. I’m particularly a fan of the necklaces, shown above, but so we’re clear, the collection does include some bracelets and earrings as well, and with price tags hovering around $100, they’re great statement pieces that won’t cost you your accessories allowance for the month.
Hunter Welly’s are for lounging
Hunter Boot Welly Warmers ($30) have been around for a few season. But they’ve recently come into style as fashionable lounge-wear stockings. Welly Warmers are available in a variety of colors, making this a great gift for even your most difficult friend, you know – the one who only wears pink (ew). And of course, if you already own Hunter Rain Boots purchasing a pair of Welly Warmers is a no brainer. (If you don’t own Hunter Rain Boots, you’re missing out)
Human Tooth Rings
Trying to find the perfect holiday gift for your loved ones? The Human Tooth Ring by Australian silversmith Polly van der Glas is the perfect idea! If your loved one doesn’t wear rings, you can always get Human Tooth Earrings or Human Tooth Necklaces instead. Say What? Your loved one doesn’t like teeth. That’s strange…and you’re in luck because Polly van der Glas also makes jewelry out of Human Hair; and who doesn’t love long flowing golden curls.
“All works are handmade in Melbourne, with sterling silver, human hair and human teeth. Human teeth are locally donated and sterilized, and human hair is either locally donated or sourced from India and China.”
The Hill-Side’s Chambray Accessories
The Hill-Side is a new source for anti-neckwear neckwear. The Brooklyn brand is built on the premise that just about everything is better made from classic blue-collar fabrics like waxed canvas and the French fabric, chambray. And so far, as applied to ties, handkerchiefs and bandanas – they’ve always been right!
J.Crew Anderson Tartan Bow Tie
Scottish Americans have been rocking their family tartans forever. J. Crew has taken this trend to a whole new level with its’ beautiful Anderson tartan bow-tie. It is hand finished in fine English wool with a harbor blue centered color palette. It is now available on the J.Crew site.
Lauren Ralph Lauren Leather Driving Gloves
If you’re living New England or the Midwest, mitten and glove season is quickly approaching. The Lauren by Ralph Lauren wrist length leather driving gloves ($55) are popular this season. One of the many reasons for their popularity is because they are designed to look current, and classic so they add a little flair to your outfit. You can even pair the gloves with cocktails dresses. If these gloves are out of your proce range, look for alternatives that are wrist length, longer lengths will not pair with non-outerwear as well.
