Dainty jewelry returns: Twisted Silver’s Princess Rocker collection

Dainty jewelry reigned supreme on the fall/winter 2013/2014 runways in New York, Paris, Milan and London. Designers showed they are starting to move away from large statement pieces and more towards smaller, more personal jewelry styles.

For the summer 2013 season, Twisted Silver has felt this movement and has created a daintier collection than what we have seen in season’s past from the Bay Area jeweler. To start off the summer, Twisted Silver has given us a colorful yet dainty collection which is appropriately named the “Princess Rocker Collection.”

This beautiful collection is easy to wear with dressy or casual attire; and like many other collections from Twisted Silver, the “Princess Rocker Collection” can be worn several ways! My favorite way to wear the necklace and bracelet is when they are hooked together into one long necklace.

Of course the dainty bracelet looks amazing when stacked with other slim bracelets. The necklace, when worn alone, is a sassy chocker style that blends well with the current 1980’s apparel trend. Love that!

My favorite part about the “Princess Rocker Collection” from Twisted Silver is that each piece is unique. The bracelet and necklace each feature a one-of-a-kind piece of a vintage silver spoon which adds a unique twist to the pieces.

The “Princess Rocker Collection” can be found online at Twisted-Silver.com. The necklace is priced at $50 and the bracelet is priced at $40. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Santana Row spring fashion show 2013

Santana Row held their annual spring fashion show on June 1, 2013 and the show was amazing! The runway wrapped around the residential swimming pool with a pass through over the middle of the pool. Models walked around the pool, over the pool and one was even pushed in the pool! Due to the 90+ degree weather, I am quite certain he was happy about being pushed overboard  Of course, the models who pushed him in the pool, wearing Oakley, helped him dry off when he climbed out.

The annual fashion show featured looks from many retailers on the Row. In addition to the runway, the 2013 show offered a pre-party packed with wine, champagne, delicious appetizers and mini-spa treatments. After the event, ticket holders were treated to generous discounts at participating retailers at Santana Row as well as additional appetizers and wine tasting.

The highlight of the runway show was when San Francisco 49ers legend Vernon Davis walked the runway and was dancing with the models over the pool. The crowd went wild! The sold-out show must have been music to his ears since ticket sales benefitted his charity, the Vernon Davis Foundation. No wonder he was dancing!
