Fashion Forward Thinking Enlightened by the Newest Trends of the Season

The perfect gift for every girl- CC Skye Screw Bracelets!

By irinaark · November 21, 2009 · 0 Comments · 5 Views

So, I'm really excited because I just decided what I'm going to get my bestfriends and my sisters for Christmas; CC Skye Italian Leather Screw Bracelets. They come in a lot of amazing colors, from florescent pink to metallic gold, to classy, simple white. They've been seen on Miley Cyrus, Hillary Duff, Kim Kardashian, Gwen Stefani and Rhianna.

The details: they are made from Italian leather (SO soft!) with 18 karat gold plated screws and buckle. They're adjustable too, so they fit most wrist sizes (even mine and I have really small wrists).

I posted my favorite colors below, what do you think? I'm going to get each of them a different color. Oh, and they come gift boxed too! (If there are any moms reading this, they're great for stocking stuffers!)

 

 







nOir jewelry- everything a girl could want!

By irinaark · November 12, 2009 · 0 Comments · 4 Views

I recently saw a friend wearing some nOir jewelry (the elephant ring) and it reminded me of how much I absolutely love their work! Their pieces are a mix of punk and rock while still being sweet, girly and fun. I love all of the animal rings (shown below) and I'm working on collecting all of them!

"Gothic Glamour" is perfect for Halloween and one of this year's hottest styles!

By irinaark · October 11, 2009 · 0 Comments · 4 Views



I'm so excited I just found this great skull necklace to wear for Halloween! It's designed by Jessica Kagan Cushman and is an awesome piece of her Fall collection. I was looking for something I could wear out that was still in the spirit of Halloween but also really stylish. The necklace is all white and really pops with black on underneath it or on just bare skin. Plus I know I'll wear it again after Halloween weekend because skulls are one of this season's biggest items! The trend is being called called "Gothic Glamour." The necklace was only 155.00, which is a great price for Cushman. I can't wait to show it off.


I started doing some research on Skull motifs and found some other really cool items too. Take a look and enjoy! Skulls are everywhere this year and I love it!

I was traipsing through NYC last weekend and was blown away by a very hip fashionista at the Hotel Chelsea wearing this fantastic ring. It was 1.5 inchs high and nearly 2 inches wide of stunning fashion statement. It practically made her outfit. These can be had at Creative Contrast.

"Matta is fresh, timeless and liberating. Matta is a combination of a simple style and endless possibilities." That's exactly what I think. I absolutely love Matta. Not only are the scarves soft, (made from cotton or wool) they're a great layer to add to every outfit and the colors are amazing! They've been seen on celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Meryl Streep, Rebecca Gayheart and more. Their scarves are classy, timeless, but still totally fun and stylish. I posted some of my favorites below- take a look!

How many different ways can you wear your scarf?

By irinaark · October 24, 2009 · 0 Comments · 7 Views
While I was perusing this cute, little boutique the other day, looking at scarves in fun new patterns and prints, a woman was shopping and she asked me how to wear a scarf. I've been asked a few times before and it dawned on me that many women don't know how to wear them. I absolutely love scarves and I'm always looking for new ways to add them to my outfit. They are no longer just for keeping warm during the Fall and Winter months, but are now a basic to add color, texture and pop!

So, I thought it would be a great post to show some different ways they can be worn. Scarves look amazing on everyone, so don't be afraid to try them out!

Fall In Love With Minkoff Brown Haze

Being the lover of purses that I am, I checked out Rebecca Minkoff's new fall collection. This great new Beloved Mini from the Zipper Love Series really caught my attention. Its fun hardware, brown haze coloring and fringe make this bag an easy favorite. It looks great with jeans and a casual outfit, but also easily transitions into a chic 'going out' bag. Love it!

Kim Kardashian was caught using this beautiful silky Matta dupatta scarf as a cover for her perhaps most famous asset. I and many celebrities think these scarves and stoles from Matta will work their best magic around your neck on a cool Fall evening.

Jessica Alba's New Tolani Love

By irinaark · August 31, 2009 · 0 Comments · 5 Views
Jessica, an unofficial spokes girl for the Toani brand was just spotted in yet another gorgeous Tolani scarf. This time she opted for a colorful silk version in feather Inspired print designed in vibrant turquoise and green with a hint of tropical orange. The result - another inspiring summer outfit that is equally chic and effortless. This girl makes everything seem so casual and simple and that's what we love about her.





What I think is the best part about this carefree multicolor accessory? It can be layered with a plain tank, simple print dress or a jacket to take you from Summer through Fall…


Tolani scarves are absolutely beautiful and use some of the best materials. Better yet, they are all handmade and the detail and design of each is really impeccable. A great selection of Tolani scarves is now available at Creative Contrast with free domestic and international (for orders over $100) shipping.
