The spring/summer season brings a new dainty jewelry trend to the forefront of both runway fashion and street style. In addition to small jewelry pieces being hot for the upcoming warm weather seasons, bright colors, neon hues and pastel shades will also dominate store shelves and the street. This makes the new “Crush Earrings” by Twisted Silver the perfect signature piece for the upcoming spring/summer 2013 season!

Twisted Silver’s new “Crush Earrings” are petite in size and big on style. The greenish hued crystal drop backed by a wavy brass disc creates a soft yet geometric look which resonates with the current silhouettes and prints of the new spring/summer 2013 season. With more blues, greens and purples in the color palette for 2013 than we saw in 2012, the greenish hue of the crystal drop works perfectly with the majority of color combinations Fashionistas will find themselves wearing for the spring/summer 2013 season. Love that!

The petite size combined with the style and color of the “Crush Earrings” from Twisted Silver makes these new earrings the perfect go-to pair for the spring/summer 2013 season; and they may very well become your signature jewelry for the New Year! Fabulous!

Twisted Silver’s new Monogram Bracelet

In the 1960’s monogram pins, necklaces and sweaters were all the rage. This personalization trend enjoyed a resurgence in the 1980’s and then again when Carrie Bradshaw wore her “Carrie” necklace on HBO’s hit TV series “Sex and The City.” In 2012, the personalization trend has resurfaced and fashion-savvy women everywhere are pulling out their monogram necklaces from the “Sex and The City” era and wearing them proudly.

This time around, monogram’s have a taken a modern turn and no longer reflect one’s own personal initials. With vintage clothing and accessories being popular, many Fashionistas are wearing monograms they picked up in thrift or vintage shops as well as inherited or borrowed from an older relative. In addition to monograms no longer reflecting one’s personal initials, fashion-savvy women are wearing monograms in new and unexpected ways in order to reflect their own personal style rather than the trends from the 1980’s or 1960’s.

That being said, Twisted Silver has debuted a fabulous and innovative jewelry piece which reflects the current monogram trend in a new and unexpected way; the “Monogram Bracelet!”

The new “Monogram Bracelet” from Twisted Silver features a vintage 1960’s monogram pin which has been repurposed into a fabulous and bold bracelet. This beautiful vintage piece is worn alone on the wrist and showcases a fusion between vintage and modern style. Love that!

The “Monogram Bracelet” is made from beautiful raw brass and offers a golden tone which works perfectly with the fall/winter 2012/2013 color palette as well as the bright color trend which will be coming up in spring/summer 2013. The brass color and bold nature of Twisted Silver’s “Monogram Bracelet” allows this piece to be worn casually with jeans or dressy with a fabulous evening ensemble. Versatility = Fabulous!

Twisted Silver’s new “Monogram Bracelet” can be found online starting today at Twisted-Silver.com and is priced at $100. Use coupon code INSIDERS for 15% off! This will also make a fabulous holiday gift for the fashion-forward woman on your list  Love that too!

Hostess party outfits for the Holiday 2012 season

 in General Fashion  tagged evening attire / holidays 2012 by

The holidays are coming! Are you hosting a fabulous soiree at your humble abode? If so, the last thing you may be thinking about is what you are going to wear! Hosting a party is hard work and while you want to sparkle and shine as much as your guests, you may also be thinking about being on your feet, rushing around the house, darting into the kitchen; well, you catch my drift. You will be working and partying at the same time.

Just because you are on the clock at your own soiree, does not mean you have to settle for black pants and a tunic paired with slippers. There are plenty of sparkling and fabulous ensembles out there which will make you the “hostess with mostess” while making you shine. Love that!

The one big thing to remember when shopping for a hostess outfit, is that there is a good chance you will need to bend over during the course of the party. Someone may drop something, you may need to clean a spill, you may need to adjust an area rug; the reasons for bending over are endless. That being said, look for necklines which cover enough décolleté so that you do not flash all of your guests. The same is true for the hemline. If the dress is too short, make sure you have boy shorts underneath. No-one wants to see your underpants-as fabulous as they may be 

Since you will be on your feet, and working the room, look for fabrics which are lightweight. Steer clear of heavy knits, jackets, blazers and wool. Look for sleeves which are easy to move in and do not constrict

Long skirts and dresses are also an option as long as they do not have too much fabric. It would be a huge “party fowl” if you tripped over your skirt!

We found a few fabulous options online and assembled them into this article. What do you think? Happy shopping, happy holidays and stay fabulous
