Trend: Layering Necklaces & Stacking Bracelets




Big trend for fall and winter is layering pendant necklaces or chains on top of each other by length. You can space them out but allow about 1.5" between each pendant or you can mix it up with black, gold, silver, bright crystals on top of eachother - it all works.  Try to plan it by weight; the chunkier the chain, the lower it hangs. Stacking bracelets with watches is very popular. Go for several looks, i.e., stick to a monochromatic color scheme for a polished look.  Think beyond studs - anything spikey or chain. A serious watch gives you license to add glitzy pieces and colorful beads. Finally,  feminine understated bracelets are more interesting when piled together - more delicate.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and M. D.Anderson Cancer Center Orlando for cancer research and outreach programs. Help us to support to a great cause!

Trend: Rings & Earrings

Wear a single bold oversize ring day or night and mix the metals - its ok! Crazy long nails and a huge ring don't really mix in my opinion but if it pleases you, I say do it!  Do try a minimalist hoop earring with a simple ponytail or sleek chignon for a classic syle.
