There is one thing every Fashionista needs in her jewelry wardrobe, and that is a signature piece. The runways offer seasonal jewelry looks and the streets dictate which trends are hot, and which are not. This can leave a lot of noise in our heads as we search for investment pieces, or jewelry that is both comfortable and reflects our own individual style.

For fall 2012, Twisted Silver has crossed over the bold, funky and statement making line into the signature jewelry arena; and they have hit a bull’s-eye! The new Snapshot collection from Twisted Silver offers a dainty pair of earrings and sweet charm necklace which features miniature cameos. Although cameos happen to be on trend for fall 2012, they really are considered classic and investment worthy.

Charm necklaces are also considered classic and generally reflect one’s own personal style. The Snapshot necklace from Twisted Silver offers three sparkling silver charms which evoke a vintage feel that is feminine and understated. Two of the charms are of cameos and the third is Twisted Silver’s signature coin. Together, the three charms tell the world you are feminine, strong, independent, classic, grounded and slightly edgy  Love that!

It is difficult to wear multiple cameos together, but Twisted Silver’s Snapshot earrings are so petite and understated, that they can easily be worn with the charm necklace without the cameos competing with each other.

The Snapshot necklace and earrings can easily be worn everyday with casual attire, office wear, ladies luncheon ensembles and even semi-formal dresses and cocktail dresses. This versatility makes the Snapshot Collection from Twisted Silver the perfect investment for fall 2012, and for a lifetime.

Twisted Silver launched the Snapshot Collection online today. The earrings are priced at $30 and the necklace is priced at $40. Twisted Silver can be found online at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Fabulous!

Cameo jewelry for fall 2012

 in Eco Chic / General Fashion / Jewelry / Local Designers / Trends  tagged cameos / fall 2012 / vintage styles / winter 2013 by

One of the many jewelry trends for fall 2012 is the cameo. With the statement jewelry trend from the past two years still being at the forefront of runway fashion and street style, and the new vintage jewelry trend for fall, the cameo has turned up as the perfect way to fuse the two together.

Designers and brands such as Lanvin, Twisted Silver and Alexander McQueen have created both bold cameo designs as well as feminine, sweet cameos which are statement making and can also become a signature piece. While Lanvin and Twisted Silver have opted for traditional cameos for fall 2012, Alexander McQueen has created the skull cameo; would you expect anything else from McQueen?

Cameo jewelry for fall 2012 is being shown in both small versions as well as large, bold, statement making pieces. Since this is an emerging trend, the fall 2012 season is the perfect time to pick up a cameo piece.

Cameo jewelry works well with vintage inspired ensembles and is a great way to add femininity to the menswear trend; or add some edge with a skull cameo.  Cameos are considered a statement piece, whether the cameo itself is large or small. A cameo necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings should be worn with understated jewelry; or worn alone. Cameos can be paired together for fall 2012 if the cameos are small and made from the same material; and do not compete with each other. As in this photo from Twisted Silver’s fall 2012 collection.

The black satchel is one of the most classic handbag styles in existence. This iconic handbag silhouette is in almost every Fashionista’s closet, and if it is not, it very well should be!
With fall’s vintage inspired looks and darker color palette, the black satchel has become a favorite handbag choice. The black satchel is being paired with old-world styles, vintage inspired frocks and as a neutral accessory for color blocked ensembles and fall’s vivid prints.

The black satchel is so iconic, it is a handbag worth investing in; even if you think you may not wear it a lot during this upcoming fall season. Even if a black satchel is only pulled out from your closet a handful of times during a season, it will continue to be a classic and easy handbag to wear season after season; without ever looking dated or off-trend. Love that!

Black satchels for fall are being found in both trendy styles and classic, clean silhouettes. The black satchel can be found in smooth, timeless fabrications such as leather, faux-leather, vegan fabrications, exotic skins and nylon. The smooth and clean satchel styles for fall 2012 are generally found in structured handbag silhouettes and are perfect for dressy occasions, a ladies luncheon and the office.

One of the big handbag trends for the fall 2012 season is texture. So it is only natural that the black satchel has found its’ place in the multi-dimensional handbag world. Black satchels are being found for fall in mixed fabrications which offer a 3D effect as well as texture and interest; making the timeless handbag style front and center instead of fading into the background as a necessary accessory to carry.

With the rocker-chic look still in full force as we head into fall 2012, black satchels are also being encrusted with studs. These edgy versions of an iconic classic allow daring Fashionista’s to rock the classic and sleek black satchel trend without giving up their edgy personal style. Fabulous!

You can’t go wrong with a black satchel for fall. This is one trend which may already be in your closet from a past season, and if not, now is the time to invest in the perfect black satchel; not only for fall, but for a lifetime. Happy investment handbag bag shopping, and stay fabulous
