OK raise your hand if you are addicted to Real Housewives! Yes, my hand is waaaaay up! If you are a huge fan like me, than you must have noticed Dorit Kemsley’s addiction to the multiple barrette trend. I mean, who could miss all those glittering hair clips at the reunion?! Not me!

Now, if you have been paying attention to hair trends, you may have noticed a huge trend emerging in 2018. This is when fashion insiders starting to stack on sparkling barrettes reminiscent of the 1990’s. You can see my take on the trend at fashion week in February 2019 here. When I stacked barrettes in my hair, I used my vintage barrettes which I had purchased back in ’90’s! As the trend has evolved over the past year, it has moved away from a ’90’s vibe, and taken on a life of its’ own.

The current way the multiple barrette trend is emerging, is the way Dorit has rocked it. You know you can depend on her for rocking trends which haven’t started yet! Since the reunion was filmed back in 2018, the trend has exploded, and Dorit has brought it to us in an affordable way; with a high fashion vibe. Love that!

Beverly Beach by Dorit offers a cute little card with eight matching barrettes on it. They are actually hair clips encrusted in sparkling baubles. They catch the sun, and dazzle the eyes. Love them! Now, when I tried to stack them all together the way Dorit rocks them, I didn’t really like how it looked on my fluffy hair. Maybe I need to sleek it down! Anyway, I decided to split the card and wear four on the right, and four on the left. I like how it turned out.

The return of the bracelet stack for summer 2020

bucket bag trend 2020

They’re baaaaa-aaaaaack!

Stacking up a ton of bracelets is back! It may just be the hottest jewelry trend this summer. So, grab all your bangles, bracelets and cuffs-and stack ’em up!

This is a really fun trend because you don’t have to choose which bracelet to wear with your outfit; you can wear them all! Hopefully you have your stackable bracelets collecting dust in your jewelry box from roughly eight years ago when everyone’s arms were having a party. If you want to freshen up your stack, the perfect bracelet to add to your stack, in order to make it truly 2020, is a chain bracelet.

Chain bracelets and chain necklaces were hotter than hot in the ’80’s and early ’90’s. This chunky, funky jewelry style is back; and it is begging to be stacked with the bracelets you already own in your collection. It’s an easy way to update your bracelet stack. Love that!

While gold-tone bracelet stacks are the ultimate metal color, you can mix and match any metal color your choose. If you prefer silver or rose gold, or you like black metals, stack ’em up! The fun thing about bracelet stacks is that they are individual. No-one else will stack like you. You may match with someone else with one bracelet, but there is a 99.9% chance your other bracelets will not match someone else. That means your bracelet stack will be unique, and very you! Love!

What do you think of the bracelet stack trend? Did you rock it last time? Will you wear it this time? I wore it last time, and I am loving it this time!

My favorite summer 2020 handbag trends are the 90’s baguette, straw bags, bright colors and metallics, soft pouches, and bucket bags. Hobo bags are emerging as a hot trend for fall. They still feel a little old fashion to me, but I will give the trend a try with one from my collection. Over-sized bags, which will be huge this fall, are hard to wear on a daily basis. I always find my things get lost inside! It’s definitely a treasure hunt kind of bag. haha
