Jewelry Trend: Sculpted Metals

 

Via: Moda Operandi }

Jewelry as art. That's what this season is all about. It's also bold and sculpturally beautiful.  Think of this post as a walk through a gallery of metal art.  There are five major jewelry trends this fall. I present my favorite.

Solanales Lace Up Cuff

Inspired by the art of corsetry,  The molten gold metalwork is transformed into a piece of provocative art. Yours for pre-ordering now at....

Alexis Bittar

Crumpled Large Post Earring

Just what I was looking for. This statement style will reflect light in the folds of the metalwork.

Alexis Bittar

Going For The Gold

 

Fall 2021 Fashion Trend: Amped Up Leather Jackets

 

Leather weather. It's almost here.  I always feel rather "hip" in a leather jacket, don't you? Leather is having a moment right now. This year the styles have been amped up, and are anything but boring. Try one on for size.

Alexander McQueen Anemone 

Biker Jacket

More like a work of art than a piece of clothing. This style also carries the price tag of a master painting.

Alexander McQueen

Rori Slouchy Moto Jacket

Oversized for a bigger impact. This jacket features dimension and ease.

Free People

Blanc Noir Gold Collection

Faux but fabulous and certainly as trendy as it gets. The gold touches elevate the look.

Blanc Noir

Lauren Metallic Leather Bomber Jacket

Here's a nice sale find.  It's glam yet done with a classic moto jacket style. It's been hugely reduced.

Ralph Lauren

Crawford Jacket
With a utilitarian quality, this jacket is crafted in luxurious tissue weight lambskin. The stand up collar and trench coat-like storm flap in back are fun and unexpected details.

Lafayette 148 NY

Veronica Beard Gail Vegan Jacket

Almost totally sold out on the designer's website, this jacket is one of my very favorites of the edit. The color is rich and unlike anything in my wardrobe. It's a head turner.

Nordstrom

Croc Embossed Leather Jacket

The chocolate leather is impossibly chic.

Rebecca Taylor

Cinq et Sept Natsha Leather Blazer

Apologies for the quality of this photo....not my style, but all that I could find. The jacket itself is so wonderful. The cinched waist and flounced hemline add some unique chic! Save $100 on this jacket until 10PM on 9/14

Neiman Marcus

Collection Leather Lady Jacket

This style is polished without being stuffy. It's a J.Crew classic reimagined in quilted leather.

J.Crew

Patchwork Animal Moto Jacket

If you are looking for a statement piece, here it is.  The design mixes animal-print calf hair, leather and glossy patent panels.

Michael Kors

Linked Tortoise Earrings

Three trends in one earring ~ chains, tortoise and pearls. It's a winning combination.

With a nod to antique inspiration, this twisted chain bracelet has just the right amount of arm candy for the season.

Two rows of statement chains are enhanced with shiny gold coins.

Leather Chain Link Bracelet

These remind me of my favorite Chanel bracelet. At less than $100, take one in every color.

Nordstrom

Sibilia Chain Necklace

Bright colored jewelry is another trend for Spring. "Buenos Aires-based designer, Fernanda Sibilia ,takes inspiration for her collection from her travels through Latin America." It's fun.

Say It With Jewelry

Tuesday Trend: Straight From The Shoulder

This is my favorite trend of the season, and I have been wearing it for years. You realize that a girl doesn't gain weight in her shoulders, right? It's a wonderful way to cover your arms but still look a bit flirty.  Leaving something to the imagination is always interesting. If you give the trend a try this year, don't forget to add a little glow with lotion or powder on your shoulders. 

HERE: 12 Tops That Show Some Shoulder

So Sexy Cold-Shoulder Ruched Top
Casually chic and so easy to wear. This slimming style will be your go to top. It's so affordable, you can have more than one of the fab five colors.
Boston Proper

Proenza Schouler Pussy Bow Crop Top & Blouse
One of my very favorite looks of the season. Find the Crop Top at Neiman Marcus and the Peasant Blouse at Net-a-Porter 

Alea Peplum Top
I really like all of BCBG's black and white this year. The peplum top with long sleeves is really good.
BCBG 

Ralph Lauren Collection Poncho
Chic in cashmere, I love the asymmetrical style of this effortless topper.
Ralph Lauren

Splendid Avery Off The Shoulder Tee
If you have ever worn splendid tees, you know how comfy and soft they are. The styling of this tee shows that the trend does not have to be overly sexy. 
Anthropologie 

Sydney Peasant Top
If I had a special event, I would certainly consider this top and skirt. It's just so elegant with a certain fairy tale quality to the look.
Alice + Olivia

Prabal Gurung Knit Dress
Everything about this dress is just fab! 
Fwrd

Navy Structured Off The Shoulder Top

A pretty pick for the girl that wants a less fitted top. The length is super good for seat coverage even in leggings. The price is right!

ASOS  

Alexander McQueen Sangallo Off The Shoulder Dress

Fun, flirty, and feminine, this dress is fabulous with a price tag to match.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Cassiopia Tee

A fitted silhouette, a sexy rollover neckline, and so soft jersey at an affordable price, makes this a winner.  Available in eight shades.

Free People

Farrow Port Top

I love the sleeves of this piece and the longer length. It's very romantic, don't you think?

Need Supply 

Caroline Constas Lou Top

A retro pinstripe print makes this top very denim friendly, and the high/low hem adds interest.
