florals


Twisted Silver Mum bracelet offers a bold statement for summer

Florals are hot for summer 2012 and are showing no sign of slowing down for the fall/winter 2012/2013 season. Floral patterns, flower embellishments and floral pieces graced the runways in Paris, New York, London and Milan for the spring/summer 2012 season and the sweet, lighthearted trend has traveled to the street; showing the popularity of wearing the trend.

In spring 2012, Twisted Silver introduced the “Mum” earrings. Now, for summer 2012, the Bay Area jewelry design company has released the “Mum” bracelet. This bold piece not only compliments the “Mum” earrings, it is an individual way of wearing the floral trend.

The “Mum” bracelet by Twisted Silver is a great way to wear the floral trend; especially since the trend is continuing this fall. The “Mum” bracelet is an artistic expression of florals which can easily be worn with jeans to spice up casual, every-day wear. In addition to adding personal style to casual jeans and a tee-shirt, the “Mum” bracelet will also add instant flair to a party dress; or even a semi-formal cocktail dress.

Twisted Silver’s “Mum” bracelet is made from hammered brass coils which wrap around the wrist. The flowers are made from copper and add a variation of color to the piece as well as dimension. The total length of the “Mum” bracelet is 9” and the width is 1.5” with a design size of 2.5.”

The “Mum” bracelet by Twisted Silver is priced at $60 and can be found online at Twisted-silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount.

Floral shoes for the summer 2012 season

One of the biggest spring/summer 2012 trends in shoes is floral prints. Florals are being found in every color imaginable and on every style of footwear including pumps, platforms, sandals, flats and wedges. Floral printed shoes are also being found in every price point including Christian Louboutin, Stuart Weitzman and Forever 21.

Since florals were a huge trend in apparel on the runways in Paris, Milan, London and New York, it is only natural that the trend appears on shoes for the warm weather season. While floral shoes were not spotted on very many runways, designers and brands designed floral print shoes for spring and summer which have been appearing on store shelves, and consequently on the street.

Fashionistas in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as around the country have been spotted strutting down the street in floral print shoes. Floral pumps have been spotted in the office and are being worn as a way to spice up one’s everyday office attire. For more casual looks, floral wedges and flats are being paired with jeans and casual dresses as a subtle way of wearing the floral trend. In fact, it seems as if fashion-savvy women are opting more for the floral shoe rather than floral apparel. Perhaps shoes feel more understated? Or maybe Fashionistas just prefer buying shoes over apparel! 

When wearing a pair of floral shoes, it is important to keep your ensemble understated. Floral shoes look best when paired with solid colored attire and neutral ensembles. This draws the eye to the shoe and makes it the focal point of the look. Floral flats and flat sandals are also an easy way to add a trendy look to a casual outfit when running errands or relaxing in the park.

We found several floral print shoes around the web, in various price points and assembled them into the Polyvore set below. Hope you love it!

Twisted Silver Mum earrings are on trend for summer

Two of the biggest trends this season are the floral trend and the statement earrings trend. Leave it to Twisted Silver to design a fabulous pair of earrings, the “Mum” earrings to be exact, which encompass both of these lighthearted trends!

The spring/summer 2012 season is playful and whimsical. This makes Twisted Silver’s new “Mum” earrings an easy way to add a lighthearted and playful twist to any ensemble. The earrings are bold and made from raw brass. They are shaped like a perfect mum flower in full bloom and their large size will ensure everyone notices your fabulous jewelry.

The “Mum” earrings by Twisted Silver work well with solid colored attire as well as floral prints which are small; larger florals will detract from the beauty of the earrings. The “Mum” earrings also play well with small, understated prints and embroidery. They are also an easy way to update an outfit from a previous season! Love that!
Twisted Silver’s “Mum” earrings also happen to be a favorite of Karina Smirnoff of “Dancing With The Stars!”
