Carmen Marc Valvo showed his fall/winter 2014/2015 collection today at New York Fashion Week and it did not disappoint!   The collection was stunning and filled with beautiful shades of oxblood, persimmon, mocha, ruby, rose gold, gunmetal, grey, black, burnished gold, steel and peacock with touches of metallics, lace, fur, leather and mosaic embellishments. Unfortunately my photos did not come out, but thankfully you will be able to see this fabulous collection in the press video at the bottom of this article!

The rich, deep hues combined with the texture and mixed fabrications showcased Carmen Marc Valvo inspiration taken from the crossroads of Constantinople and the opulence of the Ottoman Empire. The result is a stunning collection perfect for a string woman who can handle anything!

What do you think of the collection?

Twilight and berry hues

Twisted Silver has done it again! With beads in shades of grey and a warm heart set on antique brass, the new “Twilight: collection from Twisted Silver is perfect for fall! The necklace can be worn several different ways; four of which are shown above. With this outfit I wore the necklace with the clasp in back. The clasp can also be worn in front and adjusted to any length to create a y-necklace. Love that!

Of course like many of Twisted Silver’s necklaces, the “Twilight” necklace can also be worn as a bracelet. I love wearing it as a bracelet with 3/4 length sleeves or short sleeves.

The “Twilight” collection is dainty, which is right in line with the current runway and street trend toward dainty jewelry. The neutral colors make the collection easy to wear with fall 2013’s color palette. Love!

I paired Twisted Silver’s new “Twilight” collection with my favorite pair of khaki’s and a comfortable lace cardigan sweater by Carmen by Carmen Marc Valvo. The booties, which are incredibly soft and comfortable, were a fun way to mix berry hues with the tank top. This was perfect on a recent warm fall day here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
