Statement Makin’ Necklaces

Make a statement without having to say a word. The accessory that makes a profound entrance in any look is a statement necklace. Whether it’s jeweled, beaded, chained or choker, it sets the tone of your complete outfit. What is even more magnificent is being able to pair necklaces to both casual and upscale styles. Take a favorite pair of denim and cotton tee and add a turquoise stone, beaded piece. Grab your go-to LBD (little black dress) and layer on a brightly-colored jeweled bib. In both looks, the necklaces take you from wallflower to center spotlight.

Rain Boots?

Yesterday morning I woke up to rain. Immediately I thought, “What the hell am I gonna wear (on my feet)?” Good thing, earlier this year, I purchased a pair of rain boots that don’t really look like…well, rain boots. And that’s what I liked most about my new, deceiving rain shoes. Not to my surprise, more styles of rain boots, sneakers and shoes are on the shelves and making appearances online: heels, wedges, rubber bows, mixed textiles, buckles, studs, laces and more. Now don’t get me wrong, I adore the classic shiny, tall, rain boot style…I just like the new kids on the blockmore!

Here are the rain ‘sneakers’ I bought earlier this year:
