Warm fall day with Twisted Silver’s new Compass necklace

Autumn is upon us and one of the fabulous things about the mild fall weather is that we can wear layers, sweaters and longer silhouettes than we generally wear in the warm summer months. With longer apparel comes the need for long jewelry in order to balance out our silhouettes.

Twisted Silver has designed a new necklace for the fall season called the “Compass” necklace. This simple, elegant and timeless necklace is perfect for the fall season. The “Compass” necklace offers a long brass chain with a compass-like design surrounding a dark blue crystal. The necklace itself takes its inspiration from an adventurous voyage and the shade of blue happens to fit perfectly in the fall/winter 2012 blue trend. Love that!

The “Compass” necklace from Twisted Silver is a wardrobe basic which can be worn with both casual and dressy attire. The necklace can go from a lazy Sunday in jeans to being paired with a blazer at the office. Love this!

Twisted Silver’s “Compass” necklace is priced at $50 and debuts online today. The “Compass” necklace can be found at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Day into evening dresses for the winter and holiday 2012 seasons

The winter season is fast approaching which means the holiday party season is almost here. The holidays are a sparkling, festive time when everyone finds themselves invited to at least one fabulous soiree. While many holiday parties are held at night, on a Saturday or Sunday, other parties are held on a weekday; which means there is little time to switch from office attire to a holiday party ensemble.

Never fear, the day into evening dress is here! The wonderful thing about day into evening dresses is that they deliver on what they promise. A quick change of shoes and jewelry with the addition of a sparkling evening clutch can turn almost any office appropriate dress into a festive party ensemble. Love that!

The best dresses for day into evening looks are solid in color and offer a slim, sheath silhouette. We took three fabulous, simple office appropriate dresses and created day into evening looks through the Polyvore sets included in this article. We hope you love them! Happy Holidays and enjoy your soiree!

Fall 2012 shoe trends: oh how we love them!

Fall 2012 is a fabulous season for shoes. Designers in Paris, New York, Milan and London brought us jewel tone colors, rocker chic studs, flirty ankle straps, edgy ankle booties, masculine smoking slippers, t-strap heels and playful leopard print. All of these shoe trends have made us crave an entire new wardrobe of shoes and Fashionistas everywhere are finding themselves building ensembles from the shoe up. Literally!

The amazing part about all of these fabulous shoe trends from the runways is that they actually made it to the streets! How often does that happen?! Normally we find a handful of shoe trends make it from the runway to the street, but this fall/winter 2012 season fashionable shoppers been flocking to every shoe trend they can get their hands on!

Fashionistas are being spotted wearing leopard print flats with casual jeans as well as their little black dresses. Jewel tone pumps are being spotted on the street paired with prints and contrasting hues. Rocker chic studded shoes are being paired with preppy ensembles while weekend activities are calling for smoking slippers. Of course, sassy snkle strap heeks have been spotted at cocktail parties. To sum it up, everyone this season seems to being spending their seasonal budget on footwear! Love this!

What has been your favorite shoe trend this fall?
