Fashionable Joe

While it’s not your typical take on fashion, I think keeping your coffee cup stylish counts for something. Maybe? The company is called Bentwood. First off, great name! They make many things from belt buckles to dog tags. This creation is what caught my eye. It’s a coffee cuff. It’s the same concept as the sleeves you get at Starbucks. The difference of course, it’s not disposable – but, it’s chic! Use these nifty creations to keep your hands cools as you sip that hot cuppa joe, or tea, in my case. When you’re done with your drink, slip on the cuff as an accessory to your fab outfit.

Off the Cuff

Is it a work of art or an artsy piece of work? I'm going to go with both. Wonder Woman had her bracelets to keep her safe and invincible. Now you have yours! The Fenton star burst cuff is a cute little accessory and while it may not have super powers, no one has to know! This handmade cuff is crafted out of solid brass. I like it because it's adjustable, so I can rock it on my upper arm or on my wrist. I have gained a new appreciation for cuffs. I guess I never knew Wonder Woman had it so good!

Get Busy

For any fashionista, spring is an exciting time. It’s time to shed the winter blues and heavy coats for flowing fabrics and open toe shoes! This spring is no exception and there is no shortage of trends to covet! Get ready to pile it on! We all know that accessories can make or break any outfit. For the spring and summer months everything is going big… from bags to bangles and everything in between. This season, that area between your head and your shoulders is getting some extra attention. Some of our favorite glamazons have been seen on the red carpet with a little extra going on around the neck area. It seems the more you pile on the better! Necklaces are getting busier, longer and larger. It’s a trend that’s pretty easy to pull off as long as you remember some rules. If your top or dress already has embellishments, leave the layered necklaces at home. This look works best with a simple top or dress. It’s going to demand attention. No need to add extras and make it look too busy. There’s another trend getting some spotlight time – cuffs. From metal to stacked, it’s a look easy to love and bring out your inner warrior. Just make sure it’s more Fierce Fashionista and less Xena Princess Warrior.
