The 3” bangle from Twisted Silver: the ultimate staple

 in Eco Chic / General Fashion / Jewelry / Local Designers  tagged bracelets / casual style / classic style / spring 2013 / twisted silver by

There are very few “must-haves” in a woman’s wardrobe. The main “must-have’s” for a basic wardrobe include the quintessential “little black dress,” a pair of black pumps, a trench coat and a pair of jeans which fit properly. Everything else is disposable year after year; and even those four items may not have the longevity one wishes for. Think about what is in your wardrobe that you have had forever? Is it an apparel item? A pair of shoes? A handbag? A piece of jewelry? Oh back up; it’s jewelry!

Jewelry is the longest lasting accessory and fashion item a woman can buy. It does not get attacked by moths, it does not shrink in the dryer, the dry cleaner cannot ruin it, rain cannot ruin it; there are very few things that can ruin jewelry. This means when it comes to investing in an accessory that will withstand the test of time, literary, jewelry is the way to go!

When it comes to casual, everyday jewelry, there are few staple pieces every Fashionista needs in a wardrobe. Think of these items as the “little black dresses” of the jewelry box. A pair of hoop earrings, bangles, a timeless watch and diamond (or faux diamond) studs. Bangles are classic, timeless and are easy to wear with everything! They can go to work, the park, dinner, the theatre and anywhere you want to be! Fabulous!

Twisted Silver has designed a fabulous set of three bangles named the “3” bangle” which is an amazing, edgy yet classic bangle stack. This fabulous set of bangles is perfect for wearing on its’ own or paired with other bracelets. The three bangles are attached by an edgy chain and offer two Twisted Silver charms which dangle from the chain. The “3” Bangles” bring new meaning to the word “classic.” Love this!

A woman can never have too many bangles. If you do not already have bangles in your jewelry wardrobe, the “3” bangles” are the perfect bangles to include in your collection. If you already have other silver bangles, Twisted Silver’s “3” Bangles” will make the perfect addition to your collection. Love them!

Colorful denim skinnies for the fall 2012 season

 in General Fashion / Trends  tagged casual fashion / casual style / denim / fall 2012 / winter 2013 by

Colored skinny jeans were all the rage last spring and summer. Nothing has changed for the fall/winter 2012/2013 seasons. Colorful denim skinnies are still the hottest casual pant on the street for the cool weather season and this time around they are in autumn hues rather than summer brights and springtime pastels.

While printed denim, metallic jeans and other types of casual pants are on-trend for fall 2012, colored denim is the ultimate, number one way to be casual. Skinny jeans in autumn hues such as chocolate brown, burgundy, orange, dark green and classic black are on-trend for fall. In addition to classic fall colors, shades of jewel tones including bright red, purple, cobalt and emerald green are also hot for fall.

Colored denim pants are a great way to instantly update your casual fall wardrobe and they look more polished than regular blue jeans. This makes colored skinnies a great way to feel comfortable and casual yet avoid the sloppy, faded denim look on the weekends. Since colored skinnies are about as tailored as casual clothing can get, they can also be a great option for casual Friday’s at work; if your dress code allows denim.

We found a few fabulous hues for fall around the web and assembled them into the Polyvore set below. What is your favorite fall color for denim skinnies?

Metallics have been huge over the past few seasons, and for fall 2012, they are not going anywhere. One of the ways to rock the metallic trend this fall is with a pair of sparkling, metallic jeans. Metallic denim is huge on the street for the fall 2012 season. This is not a trend from the runway, rather, the metallic denim trend has emerged over the past season on the most fashionable catwalk of all; the sidewalk.

Fashion-savvy yet casual-loving Fashionistas have been spotted around the globe, especially London, wearing shiny metallic denim. Metallic jeans have been spotted mainly in the skinny jean silhouette with a few classic cuts sprinkled in.

Metallic jeans for fall 2012 are being shown in sparkling shades of silver, rose gold, pewter, dark yellow gold and fool’s gold. Metallic jeans can also be found in seasonal colors as well as fall’s hot leopard print and animal print trends.

The metallic denim trend is a great way to dress casually yet steer clear of regular blue jeans. Metallic jeans for fall offer the comfort of regular denim yet all the dazzle of an on-trend fall 2012 ensemble. Love that!

Metallic jeans look fabulous with classic white shirts, neutral sweaters and black tops during the fall 2012 months. Since metallic jeans are anything but shy, it is a good rule-of-thumb to keep accessories, shirts and jackets neutral. After all, the outfit is all about he metallic jeans. Why have competing pieces on?

We found a few fabulous pairs of metallic jeans for fall online and assembled them into the Polyvore set, below. Happy shopping and stay fabulous
