Naya Shoes is is a fabulous and eco-chic footwear brand which is well-loved here at Bay Area Fashionista. Not only are the shoes incredibly comfortable, fashionable and moderately priced, the entire line is made with eco-conscious materials in an eco-friendly factory. Love that!

Starting today, and running through April 10, 2012, Naya Shoes chose five bloggers to style their “Eternal” wedge for the chance to win a pair of shoes! I was extremely grateful when Naya Shoes asked me to style the “Eternal” wedge in yellow for the contest. I photographed two outfits, one with cobalt skinnies and one with a tangerine striped dress. The dress made the cut!
On Naya Shoes Facebook page there is a link to the “Style it with Naya” contest where you can “like Naya Shoes on Facebook and vote for your favorite blogger in Naya’s “Eternal” wedges! Ah-hem, please vote for me! (Not that I am begging, OK maybe I am!)
If I win this contest, we will be able to giveaway a pair of Naya Shoes! In addition to the shot at winning the chance to hold a giveaway, every person who votes in the contest is automatically entered to win a pair of Naya Shoes! Fabulous!

Twisted Silver necklace is hot for spring!

Twisted Silver, which is a hot jewelry line from right here in the Bay Area, has a fabulous necklace for spring that fits right into the spring 2011 jewelry trends from the runways. The runways in Paris, New York, Milan and London moved away from minimalism and into bold jewelry designs for spring. There were linear creations, bib necklaces, fringe necklaces, chokers and larger pendants.

The Moab Rocker necklace from Twisted Silver fits right into the large pendant trend and also doubles for the choker trend. The necklace sits right on the collar bone and features a unique, vintage silver leaf-like drop pendant that is made from a hand forged vintage spoon. The recycled or “up-cycled” vintage spoon pendant makes the Moab Rocker both on trend and green. Love it! The necklace is also adjustable so you can easily wear it over a turtleneck or adjust the drop of the pendant.

The Moab Rocker from Twisted Silver is made from both silver and brass. The pendant ranges in size from two inches to three inches depending upon the piece. Each necklace is one of a kind since they are hand-made. The Moab Rocker is a great investment for spring as well as fall 2011. The runway shows have recently ended in Berlin and Rio for fall 2011 and Paris Haute Couture is currently underway. The shows which have already taken place have given Fashionistas a glimpse into the trends which may appear on the Milan, New York and London catwalks. The fall 2011 jewelry trends are, thus far, a continuation of spring 2011 with even more pendants appearing in designer collections.

The Moab Rocker is priced at $70 and can be found online at twisted-silver.com. As a Bay Area Fashionista reader, you can receive a special discount of 15% off on your order by entering the coupon code INSIDERS at check-out. Happy shopping and stay fabulous
