Warm fall day with Twisted Silver’s new Compass necklace

Autumn is upon us and one of the fabulous things about the mild fall weather is that we can wear layers, sweaters and longer silhouettes than we generally wear in the warm summer months. With longer apparel comes the need for long jewelry in order to balance out our silhouettes.

Twisted Silver has designed a new necklace for the fall season called the “Compass” necklace. This simple, elegant and timeless necklace is perfect for the fall season. The “Compass” necklace offers a long brass chain with a compass-like design surrounding a dark blue crystal. The necklace itself takes its inspiration from an adventurous voyage and the shade of blue happens to fit perfectly in the fall/winter 2012 blue trend. Love that!

The “Compass” necklace from Twisted Silver is a wardrobe basic which can be worn with both casual and dressy attire. The necklace can go from a lazy Sunday in jeans to being paired with a blazer at the office. Love this!

Twisted Silver’s “Compass” necklace is priced at $50 and debuts online today. The “Compass” necklace can be found at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Epic bracelet from Twisted Silver offers Steampunk flair for fall

Steampunk, a sub-culture and art genre which takes its’ inspiration from Victorian era technology (in simple terms), has a growing influence on art and fashion. The new “Epic” bracelet from Bay Area jewelry design house Twisted Silver offers Steampunk flair which is easy to incorporate into both a Victorian inspired ensemble as well as any fall 2012 look. Love that!

The “Epic” bracelet from Twisted Silver features three distinct stations which evoke both an industrial revolution vibe and a feminine vibe. This bracelet could easily be worn with one of fall’s hot lace dresses, a rocker-chic ensemble or a simple, little black dress. Of course, the “Epic” bracelet would also be the perfect way to complete a fabulous Steampunk outfit for a Steampunk event such as the upcoming “Steampunk World’s Fair” in May 2013!

Personally, I love the “Epic” bracelet stacked with a leather wrap bracelet. This beautiful piece also looks fabulous alone for dressier occasions; as mentioned before-the perfect way to spice up a little black dress! For more casual occasions, the “Epic” bracelet from Twisted Silver looks amazing with Twisted Silver’s“Rag” bracelets. Love this!
The “Epic” bracelet from Twisted Silver is available starting today at Twisted-Silver.com and is priced at $100. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount.

Naya Shoes Kindred styled for the fall season

Naya Shoes is a fabulous, eco-chic footwear brand which designs on-trend shoes that leave a soft footprint on the Earth. Love this!
Naya Shoes takes special care to select environmentally friendly materials for their shoe collection and the result is an eco-conscious shoe made from high quality fabrications using fine craftsmanship.

Here at Bay Area Fashionista we have been huge fans of Naya Shoes over the past few years and we look forward to each new collection with every new season. For fall 2012, the autumn collection by Naya Shoesis nothing short of fabulous! One of our favorite pairs from the fall collection is the “Kindred” bootie which is slightly edgy and perfect for casual Fridays and weekend wear.

Of course the “Kindred” booties are fabulous with jeans (what isn’t!?) but these booties can also add a sassy zing to an otherwise basic dress. So, we took a few snapshots of the “Kindred” by Naya Shoes with both a casual look and an edgy, going to dinner look; which began with that otherwise basic dress we just mentioned 

Oh, and we forgot to mention, Naya Shoes are also one of the most comfortable shoe brands in the world. Fashionable+comfortable=MUST HAVE!!!
Naya Shoes can be found at Nordstrom and online at NayaShoes.com.
