Warm fall day with Twisted Silver’s new Compass necklace

 in Bay Area Fashion / Eco Chic / General Fashion / Jewelry / Local Designers  tagged fall 2012 / outfits / twisted silver by

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

Naya Shoes is a fabulous, eco-chic footwear brand which designs on-trend shoes that leave a soft footprint on the Earth. Love this!
Naya Shoes takes special care to select environmentally friendly materials for their shoe collection and the result is an eco-conscious shoe made from high quality fabrications using fine craftsmanship.

Here at Bay Area Fashionista we have been huge fans of Naya Shoes over the past few years and we look forward to each new collection with every new season. For fall 2012, the autumn collection by Naya Shoesis nothing short of fabulous! One of our favorite pairs from the fall collection is the “Kindred” bootie which is slightly edgy and perfect for casual Fridays and weekend wear.

Of course the “Kindred” booties are fabulous with jeans (what isn’t!?) but these booties can also add a sassy zing to an otherwise basic dress. So, we took a few snapshots of the “Kindred” by Naya Shoes with both a casual look and an edgy, going to dinner look; which began with that otherwise basic dress we just mentioned 

Oh, and we forgot to mention, Naya Shoes are also one of the most comfortable shoe brands in the world. Fashionable+comfortable=MUST HAVE!!!
Naya Shoes can be found at Nordstrom and online at NayaShoes.com.

JustFab colored designer denim review

 in General Fashion  tagged denim / justfab / outfits / reviews / summer 2012 by

JustFab recently introduced a new line of on-trend, colored designer denim which is at the right price and fits perfectly into one of the season’s hottest trends; colored jeans! Since I am a sucker for denim, and I love anything which is on trend, the fusion of the color trend with denim intrigued me. So when I heard about Just Fab’s new line of designer denim in bright colors, I was intrigued. Not only is each pair priced at $39.95 or $99 for three pairs, the cropped, skinny style looked perfect for my 5’4” frame. I needed to try these.

Fortunately, JustFab was kind enough to send me a sample of the vibrant purple designer denim from their new collection of colorful cropped pants. As someone who normally spends $60 on the low end and $400 on the high end for denim, I was a little skeptical about trying a pair of jeans priced at $39.95. What type of quality would they be?

I was over-the-moon when the box of JustFab designer denim arrived on my doorstep. After opening the shipping box, I instantly loved the beautiful purple hue of the jeans. Better yet, when I touched the pants and unfolded them, they felt soft and high quality; not what I was expecting for jeans priced at $39.95!

I tried the jeans on within five minutes of unpacking them from the box and I was so excited! Not only did they feel comfortable and have a beautiful purple hue, they fit me! These $39.95 jeans fit me better than many denim pants priced well over $100. Who could have guessed?

Since the designer denim pants from JustFab are cropped, and I happen to be a mere 5’4” the pants hit right at my ankle, acting like a regular pair of skinnies. This is amazing since I cannot find skinnies which fit my height. I also found that I could easily roll the hem of the jeans to make them cropped; the way Kimora Lee Simmons is wearing them in the press photos. I love the versatility!

This was my first experience with JustFab.com which is a monthly fashion club. JustFab is a shopping website where Fashionistas can take a short style quiz and then create an account with no obligation to buy. Due to the results of the style quiz, you are given a monthly “closet” filled with shoes, handbags, jewelry and accessories which are tailored to fit your style personality as determined from the quiz. This is a really fun way to shop and could be a new addiction for me especially since almost everything on the website is priced at a mere $39.95. There is no obligation to buy something each month and you can easily “opt out” by the fifth of the month if you decide not to buy anything.

If this sound confusing, remember back in the day when everyone was in a book-of-the-month or record-of-the-month club? It is a similar design except they do not automatically send you an item if you forget to mail in a card. (yes, totally last century-am I dating myself?)

Since colored denim is hot this season, and JustFab’s colored designer denim is great quality for a fabulous price, I am giving JustFab’s designer denim five out of five stars.
