Now who doesn’t love David Yurman. Now if you want to get that designer look, without the designer cost. Then go for a pair of ‘David Yurman inspired’ aquamarine earrings. They look just as great! And for only $39.00, I think I will have to get a pair myself.

Furry boots can look great and chic even in the winter season!

I love the weekends. It is usually the time for us to get away, and do that much needed ‘weekend getaway’. Now, I always think it’s great to have an economical handbag. That is easy, to just lug around, and put in the back of the car – hassle free. My choice is the Ben Sherman Weekender Bag. Not only does it look classy, and chic. But it has so many compartments to put all your goodies in. You know the essentials such as make-up, hair products, and clothes just for an overnight stay. Now I don’t know where you are going. But if it is somewhere special like Las Vegas, or a country retreat. It’s always nice to carry those pumps for your evening dinner and partying. And nude is really in this season. So I chose from the LAMB collection the Tegan nude pump. Just because it is so fashionable, so now, and just looks great on everyone. And for those avid Colorado weekends away. You want to look stylish, but stay warm. Try a pair of furry boots. And they don’t have to look like a ‘Chewbacca’ costume. Keep the style! And go for a great furry boot with a heel. After all a girl has to always look her best.

Even the most beautiful of designer prom dresses can be made to look even better with the judicious use of accessories. In fact, every type of prom gown, from a classic style like the Joli prom dress to the Hollywood look of a Jovani prom dress, can be enhanced with the right accessories.

The good news is you don’t have to spend much either; you’ve already spent enough on the designer prom dress. An accessory isn’t the main item – the gown is – so people don’t inspect the accessory. The right accessory shouldn’t even be that noticeable; it should highlight the dress but should almost be non-existent.

Here are some prom dress accessory tips to get you thinking.

If your dress is either strapless or has spaghetti straps, you’re neckline can look quite bear. It’s a great opportunity to wear a sparkling necklace with matching earrings. Remember, it doesn’t have to cost much; it just has to be in keeping with the style and embroidery of the corset. Pearls are another old favorite, especially with the more classic styles of gowns like the Joli prom dress.

A strapless gown just looks lovely when accompanied with by a shawl. Try wearing the shawl loosely around you arms so that your necklace and earrings remain on view.

How often do women get the opportunity to wear long gloves? A prom dress is usually sleeveless and allows women to wear beautiful satin gloves. You may not be able to buy an exactly matching shawl and gloves when you buy the designer prom dress, but be sure that the colors and patterns match the dress.

Choose your hosiery and prom shoes according to the prom gown length. With long skirts style isn’t paramount as no one is going to see them anyway, so put comfort first. For high-and-low prom dresses or short prom dresses, choose prom shoes and hose that will complement your legs and feet.

Open-toe prom shoes with flesh or light-colored hose look divine with slender legs. If your legs are heavy or large in the calves, and you want to de-emphasize your lower legs, choose closed-toe prom shoes with dark-colored hose.

Choosing the handbag can be the biggest challenge. Again, few dresses come with ready made matching bags, so you need to choose one that matches. It doesn’t have tobe the same color; the colors should be from the same part of the color wheel so they complement one another, or they must be from opposite ends to contrast one another. More importantly, try to find a handbag whose materials matches that of you gown.

Finding accessories can be a lot easier if you shop online for your designer prom dress as many retailer’s websites provide a comprehensive list of items that will accessorize the particular gown you’re interested in.

A closing Anecdote

Paris fashion designer, Jean Patou, invented the designer tie. He made silk ties from women’s clothing material including patterns inspired by the latest art movements of the day, Cubism and Art Deco. Targeted toward women purchasers, his were highly successful. Today women buy 80 percent of sold in the US. Therefore ties are often displayed near the perfume or women’s clothing departments. Designer ties made quite a splash in the 1960s, when designers from London’s Carnaby Street devised the Peacock Look and churned out wide, colorful ties in a variety of flowered, abstract and psychedelic patterns. Know mod (for modern) styles were the forerunners of the hippie movement, which often dispensed with neckties altogether, often favoring colorful scarves at the neck, or wearing open shirts with chains or medallions.

Scarves – With just a few cold months left in the year, there is still time to pick up a great scarf. Look for the comfortable Kashmir or cotton wool scarves in neutral tones. Gray has made a huge comeback as well and works with several colors. If you have one main coat, look for a scarf that will coordinate with it. Otherwise, feel free to get a little bold and daring if you want to show your wild side. Scarves should be about 60 to 70 inches in length. Make sure you avoid ones that are too long or too short.

Leather Accessories – A nice leather neck rope or bracelet is very popular right now. Combining leather with stainless steel is also quite hot and presents a nicely polished finish. For necklaces, go with a thinner style to avoid having it look like a dog collar. For bracelets, look for multi-strand leather bands that incorporate tribal or other interesting designs. Black is the most popular color, but you can mix it up with cream or brown to keep it interesting.

Stainless Steel Jewelry – These are incredibly popular this year. Look for a nice stainless steel cuff bracelet or a pendant that can be worn in several different ways. These are signature pieces that you can wear everyday and are even suitable for most workplaces.

Bold Pendants – Bold silver pendants are definitely hot items right now. Pair them with a nice chain or a leather cord for a polished look. Cross and spear pendants are particularly hot right now, but any bold shape that incorporates an interesting design will work as well.

Cuffs and Armbands – Bold cuff like bracelets and armbands are very big this year. Look for metals or if you are feeling really bold, go with a nice big leather cuff. Armbands are a bit smaller and should be worn on the upper arms. This is a great way to really define your upper arm muscles.

Hats – Trucker hats are dead and gone, but a simple ball cap is still very in, look for ripped edges and embroidered. Camo and washed colors are very hot right now. Try to avoid a hat that is too flashy or strange and stick with neutral colors that will coordinate with just about everything. Make sure you have enough hats to wear to avoid the dreaded “dirty hat” look.

Messenger Bags – This is a continuing trend, but we are seeing more use of leathers and other bold fabrics. Look for the hand crafted and vintage. Popular designs include faded or distressed brown leather or suede.
