Well-loved and fashionable celebrities Anne Hathaway and Carrie Underwood were both recently spotted carrying fabulous, hard box clutches by luxury, vegan handbag designer Jill Milan. Both Fashionistas chose to carry the same, beautiful handbag; the “Holland Park” clutch.

The “Holland Park” clutch by Jill Milan is an amazing handbag which is both classic and on-trend for the current season. The silhouette is classic while the geometric styling and black/metallic combination are both on-trend and timeless. Isn’t it fabulous when current fashion trends and classic styles fuse together to create both a timeless and on-trend piece? Love that!

Anne Hathaway and Carrie Underwood will find themselves reaching for their “Holland Park” box clutch by Jill Milan almost every time they have a formal affair to attend. The handbag is timeless and perfect; it works with any formal ensemble and can even be carried to dressy daytime events! Fabulous!

As with Jill Milan’s entire handbag, the “Holland Park” clutch is 100% vegan and made from fine Italian faux suede and metals. The handbag is handmade by a Florentine jewelry artisan and available in both black with gold, and black with silver. The “Holland Park” clutch is priced at $1,700 and available at JillMilan.com.

Twisted Silver’s new Swank collection

Nothing is more swank than vintage appeal and pearl-like touches. With winter 2013 and spring 2013 offering trends which include vintage touches, feminine vibes and a tendency towards all that is round; pastel hues and pearls just feel right. That is why Twisted Silver’s new “Swank” collection is perfect for right now; and well into 2013.

The new “Swank” collection from Twisted Silver offers sweet vintage cameos alongside modern, pearl-like beads set on funky brass beads. This is the perfect answer to the current cameo trend and spring/summer 2013’s large, oversized pearl trend which is hot off the Paris runway.

Funky pearls and beads dominated the jewelry Paris designers sent down the Paris Fashion Week runway for the spring/summer 2013 season. Designers showed round balls which were clumped together for a “classic-meets-club” vibe which was anything but traditional. This was especially apparent on the Chanel runway where models donned chunky, oversized beads and pearls with classic tweed suits and edgy dresses.

The new “Swank” collection from Twisted Silver offers large, pearl-like beads mixed with cameos which is perfect for pairing with winter sweaters right now in winter 2013 as well as everything that is hot for the spring/summer 2013 season.  Love that!

The “Swank” collection features a piece-de résistance which is the bracelet and two pairs of matching earrings which allow the collection to be paired with cool or warm colors. Fabulous! The bracelet is priced at $40, the brass bead earrings are priced at $30 and the bronze earrings (not pictured) are priced at $30.

Twisted Silver’s new Coco Bracelet is perfect for 2013

Statement bracelets are a huge trend in 2012 and the look is showing no sign of slowing down for 2013. With all of the bright colors, neon hues and prints coming into play for the spring/summer 2013 season, it is more than necessary for every Fashionista to have a neutral, but not simple, bracelet on hand to add a little sweet yet edgy spice to any ensemble.

The new “Coco” bracelet from Twisted Silver offers a bold statement in understated pearly white and silver. The bracelet features three pearl stations which offer a vintage, feminine flair on a silver, industrial base. The overall feeling of the bracelet is “Grandmother’s inherited jewelry meets steampunk.” Love this!

Twisted Silver’s “Coco” bracelet works perfectly with winter 2013’s pastel hues and resort/cruise 2013’s bright colors and neon shades. When paired with pastels, the bracelet takes on a sweet vintage look and when paired with bright colors and neon hues, the “Coco” bracelet exudes modern flair. Versatility! Love that!

The “Coco” bracelet from Twisted Silver will make a fabulous holiday gift, or a timeless investment for yourself. The edgy flair combined with the vintage, feminine appeal makes the “Coco” bracelet a must-have for any jewelry box. Priced at $100, the “Coco” bracelet can be found online at Twisted-Silver.com.
