ACCESSORIES

As all jewelry should be right now, any ring you wear should be mega HUGE. If it weighs your hand down, well then you have an excuse as to why you can’t possibly clean your bedroom.

Your ring will make a statement – the statement that you’re fabulous. I dare you to wave a hand with one of these beauties and not hail fifty cabs at once. You can indulge in this trend at any price point – from the under $100.00 finds to the ‘whoa I better get a second job!’ ones. Somehow, it’s always worth it.

Notes: Massive, like a three-headed dragon! Possibly dangerous if you wave it in someone’s face, hehe. So beautiful. I can’t stop looking at it. Lucifer Vir Honestus Trilogy Ring ($4,160.00) at Barneys New York

Notes: Tasteful, pretty, flowers are ‘in’, love the blue color with the gold. Desert Floral Cocktail Ring ($55.00) at J-Crew

Notes: I love the cluttered look it has going on. Seems almost like a maze. I’d wear it with every outfit, even jeans. Cristina Rotando Shiva Eyes Ring ($8,700.00) at Barneys New York

Notes: For the woman who isn’t ready for a huge statement ring yet, this is your first step. Will match everything in your wardrobe, unless you have flannel nightgowns. Then we have a problem to talk about. Enamel Leaf Ring ($49.00) at Banana Republic

The Oxford shoe is MAJOR in the way that if you aren’t already wearing some on a weekly basis, we may have to ask what’s wrong with you! There are ‘IT’ girls, and there are ‘IT’ shoes. This, my friends, is the IT shoe of the season. It’s a little bit manly, but we give it our feminine flair. This traditional shoe has been twisted by some of our favorite designers to create stunning shoes.

Once you procure a pair, you want to know what to wear with oxford pumps and heels. Or maybe it’s not what to wear with oxfords, but how to wear oxford pumps. The best way to wear oxfords is with opague tights and dresses or skirts. Otherwise, the answer to how to wear oxfords is all found in your skinny jeans and pants. You don’t want to hide the shoe under tweed trousers or flared jeans. Now, you can. But it’s not ideal.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. I was reminded that the annual Stuart Weitzman Celebrity Designed Shoe Auction has begun. Help support research to find a cure, and better ways to test for the disease. OvarianCancer.org says, “Know your body. Know the symptoms. Help spread the word.” So hop over to that site and familiarize yourself with the four main symptoms to watch for.
Another great thing you can do is bid on one of the shoes the different celebrities have designed. This is the 8th year of this celebrity designed shoe auction, and as always there is a wide array of designs. You’re sure to find some you love. Below I will show the shoes I fancy. You can bid on any of them.

Moulin Rouge by Jessica Simpson, Current bid: $600.00 & Feathers by Rachel Bilson, Current bid: $300.00

Moon and Stars by Rose Byrne, Current bid: $200.00 & Go Green by Christie Brinkley, Current bid: $500.00

I’ve already talked about big statement necklaces, but now I want to mention that it’s not just necklaces – it’s everything. Statement jewelry in general is a huge trend, and it’s wonderful because it makes you feel glam and luxe. You know what else evokes glamor and luxury? Gold. It’s rich and warm in color, which will look gorgeous for autumn.

Argento Vivo ‘Stingray’ Disc Drop Earrings ($158.00) at Nordstrom.

Alexis Bittar Sculpted Link Necklace ($375.00) at Neiman Marcus.
