Twisted Silver’s new Bolo Collection for spring 2013

One of the big, incoming trends in jewelry for the spring 2013 season is the dainty trend. Dainty and petite jewelry is the contrasting trend in jewelry to the stacked, bold jewelry trend which has been popular for the past few seasons. Designers for spring 2013 have either taken the dainty route, or have continued with the bold trend for the upcoming warm weather season. This gives Fashionistas the perfect opportunity to be bold one day, and dainty the next! Love that!

The new “Bolo” collection from Bay Area jeweler Twisted Silver is the perfect answer to the season’s hot dainty jewelry trend. The matching earrings and necklace can be worn together or apart while maintaining a dainty and feminine flair with a slight edge. After all, it would not be Twisted Silver if it was not at least slightly edgy! 

Twisted Silver’s “Bolo” collection offers soft movement and an understated, copper color. The tassel-like design features tiny little copper balls on the ends of the thin chains which add the perfect finishing touch to the pieces. The copper hue allows the necklace and earrings to blend easily with both gold and silver; this is handy since metallics are hot for spring 2013! Mixed metals; love this!

The “Bolo” collection can easily be worn with casual attire or with dressy attire; making it the perfect, versatile collection for the spring 2013 season. The “Bolo” collection also evokes a classic and timeless vibe; making the pieces great investment jewelry! Fabulous!

Twisted Silver’s “Bolo” collection debuts online today at twisted-silver.com. The necklace is priced at $40 and the earrings are priced at $30. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Chanel Emprise nail polish for spring 2013

Spring 2013 has two distinct color palettes; the bright color trend and pastels. One of the easitest ways to wear a color trend is through nail polish. Chanel’s new Emprise nail polish from the spring 2013 beauty collection is the easiest way to wear the pastel trend.

Chanel Emprise nail polish is a vivid, pastel pink which is a cross between sweet, baby pink and candy pink. This vivid hue works perfectly with the seasons’ pastel trend, yet can easily blend into a brightly colored ensemble. Love that!

The vivid pink hue of Chanel Emprise nail polish is also light enough to wear to work or as a neutral; yet vibrant enough to add a little spice to one’s overall look. For Fashionistas who find baby pink, or pastel pink, to be a little too sweet, Chanel Emprise is the perfect answer. This vivid pastel is a grown up shade of pastel pink which offers a mature yet playful vibe.

We tested Chanel Emprise with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. Chanel Emprise nail polish lasted seven days before chipping on the right thumb. Fabulous!

Chanel spring 2013 beauty collection can be found at Chanel counters and at Chanel.com Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
