Twisted Silver’s new “Hipster” collection is not only hip, it is timeless. Love that! This fabulous, square chain link collection can be worn multiple ways and matches almost any ensemble a Fashionista can put together. How perfect is that?!

The “Hipster” collection from Twisted Silver is light-weight and made from the hippest metal in jewelry right now; brass. The collection features a necklace and bracelet which can be worn separately or linked together to form a fabulous, long necklace. The necklace and bracelet can also be joined together and wrapped around the wrist to form a bold, multi-strand bracelet.

Of course, as with most of Twisted Silver’s jewelry, the “Hipster” necklace and bracelet are easy to stack together with other pieces, making them even hipper! Love that!

When worn alone, the “Hipster” collection is perfect for a fundraising lunch, office attire or the theater. When worn layered, the “Hipster” collection takes on a personal touch which offers endless possibilities. 

Twisted Silver’s “Hipster” collection is priced $30-$40 and can be found online at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

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.

 in Events / General Fashion / Shoes  tagged american heart association / charity / heart disease / spring 2013 by

In our modern society, we drive to the bus stop, we drive to the train station, we drive to work, we drive to school-well, you get the picture  One hundred years ago, everyone walked everywhere. Nowadays, everyone drives, gets driven, or finds a passive way to travel from one place to another.

Humans were meant to walk. Our bodies need to walk; it helps us stay healthy and active. Walking also reduces the risk of heart disease and helps to maintain cardiovascular health. So, to remind ourselves and society how important it is to walk, ditch the vehicle and walk today!

The American Heart Association’s National Walking Day is a fabulous way to enjoy the beautiful spring weather, breath in some fresh air and get healthy. In honor of National Walking Day, everyone is encouraged to wear sneakers or walking shoes and leave the car keys at home. If you must drive, take a 30 minute walk today not only for yourself, but to help raise awareness about the importance of physical activity. Love this!

Tell your friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors-everyone! Spread the word! Today is the day to wear sneakers and go outside for a fabulous walk! Now step away from the computer and/or mobile device and go outside and take a walk!
