Street Style Trends: stacked bracelets

 in Bay Area Fashion / Eco Chic / General Fashion / Jewelry / Local Designers  tagged bracelets / spring 2013 / street style trends by

One of the biggest and most popular jewelry trends of-the-moment is the stacked bracelet trend. This trend began to gain popularity a few years ago when Fashionistas on the street started to pile on multiple bracelets at a time. The trend caught on quickly and soon marketers began showing stacked bracelets in advertisements and magazine spreads.

Stacking bracelets becomes even more prevalent in warmer months since warm weather allows for ¾ sleeves, short sleeves and sleeveless attire. This means right now is the time to start stacking up those bracelets if you have not already been doing so!

Stacked bracelets are a fun trend. This street style trend allows you to express yourself and add your own personality to casual clothing, office attire or any ensemble you put together. Love that!

Bracelets can have special meanings too. Perhaps you have a bracelet which you received as a gift, or purchased to benefit a cause. Stacking up these special moments on your wrist can evoke good memories and thoughts throughout the day as well as make a conversation starter. 

When stacking up your arm with bracelets, look for metals which blend well together and colors that do not clash. Texture and dimension can also help make a great bracelet stack.

Blue and green for spring 2013

 in Color Trends / Trends  tagged blue / green / runway trends / spring 2013 / street style trends by

With Emerald green being the color of the year, and shades of blue being hot for the spring season, it is no wonder that one of the popular color combinations for the upcoming warm weather season is the combination of blue and green.

Shades of blue and green are hot for the spring 2013 season. These two colors combined create a fresh color combination which is easy to wear and will definitely turn heads. This oceanic color combination is easy to pull off; especially since blue and green play so well together! Love this!

To rock the blue and green trend, look for solid colors which look nice together such as emerald green skinny jeans paired with a navy or cobalt top. You can also add colorful jewelry, scarves, shoes and handbags! It does not matter how many shades of blue and green you wear at one time, the colors blend easily and appear soft; meaning you would not want to do this with brighter shades such as orange and yellow.

We put together a few blue and green looks to help inspire an oceanic idea from your closet. Hope you love it! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

 in General Fashion  tagged denim / spring 2013 / street style trends / winter 2013 by

Printed jeans have been a hot, emerging trend over the course of 2012. For 2013, this trend from the street is hotter than hot; and will be a must-have in every Fashionista’s spring wardrobe.

Spring 2013 is offering many different patterns and prints for apparel. Florals, lace, painterly designs, ikat, polka dots, stripes, checkers, plaid and more will appear on every type of garment imaginable for the spring/summer 2013 season. Since denim is a common fabric which almost everyone is able to wear often, it is only natural that a pair of jeans with a fabulous print will become a Fashionista’s go-to pair of pants on a casual day at work or on the weekend.

Since printed jeans are hot, and there are so many different prints to choose from, this will be an easy trend for everyone to follow. In fact, printed jeans are making regular blue denim look a little bit tired for the spring 2013 season. After all, why wear blue jeans when you can wear a fabulous print and still enjoy the comfort of blue jeans! Love that!

Printed jeans for spring 2013 can be worn in so many different ways. They can be paired with sandals, flats, booties and even high heels for a casual yet spicy evening look. They can also be worn with a blouse, tee-shirt, sweater or sequin top! The possibilities are endless 

We found a few fabulous pairs of printed jeans around the web and assembled them into the Polyvore set below. We hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
