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.

How many times have you purchased a purse hook only to have it break while holding your fabulous, brand new Valentino handbag? <<Hugs>> Unfortunately, we have been there.

Thankfully there is an amazing new handbag hook in town! The extremely strong yet sleek handbag hook from Mon Mode is nothing short of amazing! This heavy purse hook can handle the heaviest handbag you can think of. Not only is it strong, this beautiful purse hook also has a discreet mirror on it! Finally, no more leaving the dinner table with lettuce stuck in your teeth! Love that!

Mon Mode was gracious enough to send us a beautiful, lavender and grey snakeskin purse hook to test out, and we have to say, we are hooked! This durable hook was able to handle a large tote bag filled with purse essentials and a digital SLR camera! We thought the handbag and hook would fall off the table for sure; but we were wrong. Thankfully!

Mon Mode purse hooks are easy to use and fold neatly into a small jewelry pouch. The hooks come in a variety of beautiful colors and patterns to suit every Fashionista’s taste. The Mon Mode purse hook featured in these photos is priced at $75 and can be found online at MonModeGetHooked.com. The entire collection starts at $50.

Sweet cameos from Twisted Silver for fall 2012

 in Bay Area Fashion / Eco Chic / General Fashion / Jewelry / Local Designers  tagged bracelets / cameos / fall 2012 / twisted silver by

Feminine and structured apparel are a huge trend right now and accessories for these looks are equally demure. Full skirts and pencil skirts are being paired with traditional pumps with pointed toes, ladylike satchels and feminine jewelry. With the vintage vibe stemming from this ladylike silhouette, it is no wonder that vintage jewelry or vintage-like pieces are hot for fall.

One of the most classic and feminine pendants in jewelry is the cameo. Cameos have been shown in many ways including earrings, bracelets and even on watches. For fall 2012 Twisted Silver has designed a feminine and sweet cameo bracelet which evokes a vintage vibe and is easy to wear with jeans or a little black cocktail dress.

The Cameo bracelet from Twisted Silver features a sweet collection of vintage cameos set on antiqued brass which evoke a sense of the Victorian era. This bracelet looks amazing with fall’s hottest fabrics including silk, velvet and knits. The mix of colors from the cameos allows the Cameo bracelet to blend well with patterns, prints and many solid hues.

Twisted Silver’s Cameo bracelet debuted online today at Twisted-Silver.com. The bracelet is priced at $40. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Love that! Happy shopping and stay fabulous
