Twisted Silver’s new Swank collection
Nothing is more swank than vintage appeal and pearl-like touches. With winter 2013 and spring 2013 offering trends which include vintage touches, feminine vibes and a tendency towards all that is round; pastel hues and pearls just feel right. That is why Twisted Silver’s new “Swank” collection is perfect for right now; and well into 2013.
The new “Swank” collection from Twisted Silver offers sweet vintage cameos alongside modern, pearl-like beads set on funky brass beads. This is the perfect answer to the current cameo trend and spring/summer 2013’s large, oversized pearl trend which is hot off the Paris runway.
Funky pearls and beads dominated the jewelry Paris designers sent down the Paris Fashion Week runway for the spring/summer 2013 season. Designers showed round balls which were clumped together for a “classic-meets-club” vibe which was anything but traditional. This was especially apparent on the Chanel runway where models donned chunky, oversized beads and pearls with classic tweed suits and edgy dresses.
The new “Swank” collection from Twisted Silver offers large, pearl-like beads mixed with cameos which is perfect for pairing with winter sweaters right now in winter 2013 as well as everything that is hot for the spring/summer 2013 season. Love that!
The “Swank” collection features a piece-de résistance which is the bracelet and two pairs of matching earrings which allow the collection to be paired with cool or warm colors. Fabulous! The bracelet is priced at $40, the brass bead earrings are priced at $30 and the bronze earrings (not pictured) are priced at $30.

Lace for the winter 2013 season
Lace has been one of the hottest fabrications in fashion over the past several seasons and it is showing no sign of slowing down for winter 2013; and spring 2013 for that matter! The flirty and feminine fabrication has been showing up this season on everything imaginable from garments to shoes to handbags and even on jewelry!
The lace trend was spotted on almost every runway for the fall/winter 2012/2013 season and it was also spotted on the spring/summer 2013 runways. This is one trend which has made an easy transition from the runway to the street. In fact, lace has proven to be more popular on the street than it appeared on the runway!
Lace is being used both as the main fabric of a garment as well as an accent or detail on both garments and accessories. Lace dresses have proven to be the hottest garment style in lace while lace shoes are the hottest form of accessory to don the flirty fabrication.
Designers are showing lace in shades of black, red, peach, pale pink, gold, silver and cream for the winter 2013 season and many designer have chosen to place a tonal or contrasting fabric underneath as a liner; after all, lace can be quite see-through! Oh my!
If a lace dress is too racy for you to wear, but you love the trend and want to rock it this season, look for lace shoes or a lace trimmed jacket; or even a bracelet! This is an understated way to wear lace and add a little bit of flirty spice to your ensemble. Love that!
