Epic collection by Twisted Silver
There are so many trends on the streets which originated on the runways, or went full circle; from the streets to the runways and back to the streets. One of the current trends, which is extremely popular on the street, is the vintage trend.
Almost every decade is being celebrated on the streets. 1930’s and 1940’s hairstyles are making a comeback while 1950’s era dresses and the 1960’s Mod look are walking off the runways and onto the streets. Ripped or torn jeans from the late 1980’s and early 1990’s are popular with high school and college-age Fashionistas while 1980’s colors, shoulders and shoes are well-loved among thirty-plus-something’s.
Since vintage is in, no matter the decade or century, it is no wonder that jewelry with a vintage look and feel is hot right now. One of the fabulous things about wearing vintage or seemingly vintage jewelry is that it is unique and unlike the jewelry other fashion-savvy women are wearing on the street. After all, why look like everyone else!
The new “Epic” collection from Twisted Silver not only evokes a vintage, old world vibe, it has a Steampunk flair which is difficult to find. This unique collection from Bay Area jeweler Twisted Silver has an industrial edge yet offers a soft, feminine appeal which makes the collection easy to wear with almost trend on the runway or the street. Love that!
Twisted Silver’s “Epic” collection is extremely dynamic. The necklace and earrings can easily work with spring 2013’s floral trend, bright colors trend, vivid pastel trend, neon trend and can even add modern flair to the current Mod trend! Love it!
The new “Epic” necklace and “Epic” earrings from Twisted Silver can also blend easily with the jeweler’s“Epic” bracelet from fall 2012 which was equally unique, edgy and fabulous. The necklace offers a dainty chain and medium-sized pendant which works perfectly with the current jewelry sizes from the spring 2013 and fall 2013 runways. The 1” diameter earrings also fit perfectly into the move towards smaller jewelry as we head into fall 2013.

Shop spring shoes which will carry you into fall
Shoes are always fun to shop for. If you lose or gain weight, your size remains the same! Shoes can make you taller and make a statement about your current mood or personality. Shoe also happen to be more expensive than clothing in many cases, therefore, it is important to look for a pair of shoes which will last longer than one season.
Pantone has given us the top ten colors for fall 2013; and many of these colors are exactly the same or similar to, some of the hottest colors in the spring 2013 color palette. This makes finding a fabulous pair of shoes which will last through 2013 and into early 2014 easy! Nothing can make a pair of shoes look more dated than the color; unless you are looking at the toe or the sole. Below is the fall 2013 color palette:
That’s right, the next two important factors in finding a shoe which will last through next year is picking the right toe and the right sole. Since heel heights are all over the board, as well as heel thickness, it will be difficult to go wrong in the heel department. (One potential shoe shopping problem-not an issue this year!)
The “IT” toe for spring 2013, as well as fall 2013, is the pointed toe. Pointed toe pumps are definitely the “IT” shoe of the season, and since they are closed toe, these beauties will work perfectly in the fall and winter seasons. Love this!
The next factor to consider when shopping for investment shoes is the sole. Although we all love a platform pump which rises up to new heights, platforms are on their way down to new lows. 2013 and 2014 will be all about the single sole, or flat soled, shoe. If you love platforms, keep your shoes from last year and re-wear them this year. This is not the time to invest in a new pair of sky-high platforms.
We found a few fabulous spring shoes which will also be perfect for fall 2013 and winter 2014 around the web and assembled them into this article. To shop this investment trend, please click on the shoes you love in the shopping widget below and you will be taken to the online shop where they are for sale. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
