“These pieces are not

for the faint at heart”

Accessories DIY

Statement Jewelry Last fall gave us a slight glimpse

into the future with the state-

ment necklace. Bold, bodacious,

ornate, and extravagant are just

some of the words used to de-

scribe this seasons “big” trend..

Describe these pieces in any way

but dainty.

These pieces are not for the faint

at heart and should be worn with

extreme caution. Each item is

like a

work of

art so

make

sure the

clothing you choose does not

compete with the accessory .

The trick is not to overdo it and

risk looking like a fashion junky.

These pieces were meant to be

worn with solid colors, simple

cuts, and modern styles. Think

plain white tees and jean shorts,

a simple sheath dress and flats,

or a cotton tank top in a pretty

solid color and your favorite pair

of skinny jeans. The styles range

from flirty designs to art deco,

geometric shapes to pretty jewels

and florals.. There is something

for every one!

Wondering what to do with all

that dainty jewelry in your box

collecting dust? Get creative and

make new styles! Gather 3 or 4

chains in varying degrees of

lengths and thickness, string

them together using

an old fashion brooch or

pin and you have a fab new

necklace!. Or try this take

on a Dries Van Noten

statement piece. Find a

heavy chain and string

about 5 or 6 colorful

wooden bangles together-

the more mismatch the

better! And finally

string together a multitude

of rings for a fabulous one

of a kind bracelet.

Sneaker Pimps A long time ago in a galaxy far unknown, divas

and fly girls everywhere were torn between look-

ing sexy and being comfortable as they hiked it

to their destination. She could either wear a fly

pair of tennis shoes or a sicknen pair of pumps.

Out of sheer frustration she would sometimes

settle and just wear (the horrors) a pair of

flip flops or boring flats. The future is

here!! We bring you the flyest hybrid since

the Prius….

Question: What is the one accessory

that not only adds instant glamour to

any outfit but also gives the wearer an

instant hint of mystery and keeps the

sun and haters out of your face?

Answer: A fabulous pair of shades!

If the huge bug eyed look ala Paris

Hilton and Nicole Ritchie from a few

seasons back had you in fear of

glasses- don’t fret. This seasons styles

are for everyone no matter what your

face shape and style is. The newest

trends are plastic candy colored hues,

bold graphic shapes, the new cat eyes,

and nude round shapes. You can

switch them up to match or clash with

your outfit- literally anything goes

with ‘09s new take on old classics. Oh

and while you are at it try a pair with

tinted shades.

if you have a rounder, more fuller

face try an oblong style that takes

away some of your facial fullness, and

if you have a smaller face or receding

chin then shorter styles will bring the

eye up and will look best on you

Chandelier earrings are back with a

this style is with a sleekly pulled back

fancy schmancy clothes, you can add

them to your everyday wardrobe for a

touch of sparkle and glamour. If your
