Statement Earrings

Sometimes the only dramatic thing you need in your life is your earrings. Big round and disco-like earrings strutted down runway shows from Dior to Gucci. Other statement earrings resembled the tassel on a handbag trend, a large hula hoop, and funky reindeer antlers. This spring, earrings can stray away from being boring and classic. Have some fun and try the various shapes and sizes earrings come in this season. Will you be bold enough to try?

Off the Body Chains 

Show off some skin this spring and let your jewelry talk for you. Calvin Klein and Alexander McQueen showed classic ways to wear this trend to a cocktail party or a glamorous event. How about off the runway and on the streets? Body chains are perfect for those nights you want to stand out in a mass of people at a club or even on the streets. As the weather gets warmer, you can also wear your body chain on the beach; just throw on a cover up and take a long walk along the shore. It is simple and versatile for any occasion. Are you ready to try it?

Athleisure Accessory Trends 2016

Athleisure Accessory Trends 2016 

Working out is not just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle. Today, Americans are dominating healthy lifestyle choices in their activities, food, clothes, and best of all, accessories. Athleisure is the casual trend that supports loungewear into everyday clothing. Adding accessories to outfits allows you to go place to place without looking like you just exercised.

Here are the top 5 athleisure accessory trends to try for spring 2016:

Chic Hatter

For a more athletic appeal, try Nike’s dry fit running hats in vibrant colors such as fuchsia, teal, and white. For a more fashion-forward look, hats made of leather or suede can disguise the gym look and create a chic street appeal. You can find trendy leather and suede hats at retailers like ASOS and Nordstrom.

Golden Beats

Not all earphones are made equally. These gold earphones are the hottest accessories this spring. Stay golden while working out and jamming to your favorite song. Beats Solo2 Wireless Headphones are a great investment if you prefer wireless headphones. All you have to do is connect your phone via Bluetooth and your music will stream handsfree. If you are on a budget, you can find other gold headphones at Urban Outfitters and Nasty Gal.

Best Fall Trends for Handbags in New York!

With every season that comes and goes, we get more and more convinced that the accessories market is booming and conquering the entire fashion industry. While trends fluctuate and change your wardrobe every season, statement accessories continue to make a splash. Making a good investment in an accessory, such as a handbag, makes more sense than buying  apparel at the same price.  Be reminded that apparel withers, goes out of fashion and becomes useless faster than a subway ride from the Bronx to Wall Street.

After careful consideration, we narrowed down the best fall trends for handbags for a perfect New Yorkite!

LV Bag

Louis Vuitton Miniature Box Bag

Miniature box bags– Box bags have always been a hit for girls in New York! It’s the perfect bag to rock the never-ending nightlife of the city. Apart from the style, the bag is feasible with its size and structure, making it an all time favorite.

Two Toned Celine Tote
