Layered earrings are back! Stacking multiple pairs of earrings, or a combination of studs, cuffs, and crawlers, was a huge trend in jewelry in the late 1980s through to the mid-1990s. When the ’90’s became a decade of influence in fashion a few years ago, the trend started to resurface; and now it is here with a bang.

Arguably the hottest street style trend of the moment, the stacked or layered earring trend is fun to follow. Haven’t we all been itching to use those extra holes in our ears from our middle school, high school, and college years?

Layered earrings is an easy to trend to adapt to. There are two ways to follow it. You can have multiple piercings in your ears, or you can pretend with one pair of stud earrings, and a combination of crawlers and cuffs on one or both ears.

When wearing multiple pairs of earrings, or ear jewelry, the goal is not to have one pair overwhelm the other. The pairs of earrings must blend together. This means keep them on the dainty side and trying to keep metals matching.

Thankfully, brands and designers have recognized this hot trend on the street and put earring sets together which offer a few pairs of studs, or a combination of studs and cuffs, which match each other and take the guesswork out of styling one’s own earring stack. Love that!

If you would like to wear a statement pair of earrings, or large earrings, then they must be worn in the first hole on your ear. Keep the earrings in the other holes as basic as possible; and as small as possible. Avoid pairing ear cuffs or crawlers with a larger pair of earrings.

I found a few fabulous pairs, and sets, of earrings around the web which are perfect for layering, stacking, and mixing together! I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

White after Labor Day? For shame! Of course, we have been saying that for about a decade now, so why is this new? Well, it might not exactly be a new trend, in fact it could be a new classic look. White for fall 2015 is starting to look more like an investment look, rather than a trend. Imagine that!

The all-white look, or adding white pieces onto an ensemble as a neutral, after Labor Day, has become a standard way of dressing over the past decade. The all-white look is starting to become what the all-black look enjoyed for decades; the go-to look for almost any occasion.

White for fall 2015 can be the perfect neutral in a wardrobe for the autumn season. White can be an accessory which matches anything, or it can be a favorite wrap, shawl, poncho, jacket, or go-to sweater. White for fall 2015 can also be an all-over look; making it the ultimate alternative to wearing all black.

How can I qualify all-white, or white as a year-round neutral, as a new classic? Well, let’s check out the facts. Over the past ten years, wearing white after Labor Day has been considered OK. Although it has been looked at as a seasonal trend, the all-white look has been holding strong; season after season.

All-white looks were dominant on the spring 2016 runways last month; proving the look is continuing into next year. It will not stop! This means white pieces are a great investment this season; or any season. In fact, white is the most versatile neutral after black; since shades of brown are seasonal, and navy is lighter in the spring than the fall.

Although all-white ensembles can add weight, a reason I don’t wear all-white, we can all enjoy wearing white without going completely tonal. White accessories such as a handbag, scarf or pair of shoes, are perfect for enjoying white after Labor Day without adding weight to our figures. My favorite way to wear white is by carrying a white handbag. Although, I am eyeing this white poncho for fall. Doesn’t it look soft and cozy?!

I found a few fabulous white items for the fall 2015 season, and assembled them into the shopping widgets below. I hope you love them!

So while neutral options are always a good idea, this is one trend you can have some fun with when it comes to patterns and colors.

Trunk clutches can be worn with casual through to formal attire. They are the ultimate day into evening handbag; as long as you don’t need to carry too much with you. Trunk clutches tend to be small, with unforgiving interiors.
