Studded Affair

Punk inspired, studded accessories have been trending for quite a few seasons now and aren't slowing down for Fall '11.  I wanted to share my absolute favorite accessory, my leather studded wrap bracelet from Linea Pelle.

I wear it with everything from gothic black to feminine white. I also own the chocolate version.

Orange you glad for Jeffrey Campbell

Corny I know, but I loved this shoe brand for the last 4 years.  The designs are always edgy and a bit quirky.  These may not be a color that I would think myself every purchasing but I love them anyway. It reminds me of autumn pumpkins.

Forget the Queen, God save Vivienne!

I couldn't wait to post this gorgeous patent bag from Vivienne Westwood.  I've never been one for logo prints but this bag rocks not only for its classic silhouette but its eye catching patent and its fun logo print.

I also, have to admit, that the Westwood logo is one of the best around. I'd wear that pendant around my neck anyday.

Medieval Accessories

Moving on now to Medieval Warrior Chic. Una Burke creates some bitchin' out of the box wearable leather art. This shoulder holster is a favorite of mine.

All I need now is the sword, horse and stilleto boots.

Grecian Warrior Princess

I'm not a huge fan of the color gold but I came across this beautiful harness necklace from Haute Hippie and began coveting.  Very dramatic and not for the shy at heart but I definitely can think of an outfit or two perfect for this piece.

Summer Adornments

It's been a few weeks since I've come across any jewelry worth mentioning. So I stopped looking. And as it always happens Rosantica fell into my life. The Italian jewelry line is created by Michela Panero and is produced in a structure very like a small traditional workshop.

The beautiful color of the stones on this necklace make this my favorite.  A subtley dramatic piece worn best with a summer dress or to dress up a tank.

The Breath of Life

Growing up Burberry was synonomous with stuffy.  However, under the creative direction of Christopher Bailey, new life has been breathed into the line. Now when I see Burberry, I think edgy, sexy and modern. 

So I wasn't surprised to fall in deep like with this carry all. Modern, tough with a touch of priss- the edgy girl's lady like bag.

Stiletto Love

I've been walking to work lately, so I'm missing my stilettos.  These from Kris Van Assche almost make me miss driving to work.  Almost.
