People often wore ear cuffs to give their look an edgier take. While ear cuffs are still obviously edgy, they have become a common popular accessory for high-fashion looks.

You don’t just see ear cuffs when being cool and edgy, but they have accompanied some very glamorous looks. Several celebrity women rocked ear cuffs at the Met Gala awards, the 71^st annual Golden Globes, the Grammys, and even the Oscars.

New Trend Alert: Eye-Catching Eyelets!

Eyelet overlays are a very trendy and cute new pattern that gives pieces a classic feel. It is very feminine and playful; it kind of makes you feel like you have stepped out of a past era such as the 1960’s.

 What is an eyelet overlay? An eyelet overlay is a fabric that has small holes or eyelets cut out in a pattern. Underneath this revealing pattern is a more solid piece that may or may not be a part of the garment. An eyelet overlay is a cool detail because it gives a garment a lot of dimension and interest. It provides layers, varying lengths within the same piece, and visual effects that can be manipulated by changing the color of the overlay or the underlay.

I especially like the dress featured in this article. The seafoam color is very bright, yet soft and classy. The high sheer neckline gives the single-toned piece more depth. The illusion of sheerness is quite chic and certainly trendy. The line and form of this dress is simple and complimentary with a fun hem-line because the ruffling of the full skirt.

What do you think of this new trend?

Do you like it? Do you dislike it? Do you like a full eyelet pattern or a semi-eyelet pattern? Do you prefer smaller eyelets or larger eyelets? Please let us know what you think!

New Trend Alert! Antique Tribal Matchstick Necklace!

I love this new trend!. The Antique Tribal Matchstick necklaces are really cute and totally me. I am definitely a big fan of statement necklaces in general, but these are a must-have. I especially like ones is black, gold, and white such as the one shown below. It is interesting to see African fashion and culture translated into a  westernized trend. I think that this style of necklace is both earthy and flashy, resemblant of the motherland. You can be fancy and dressed-up while staying close to home. I envision myself rocking a form-fitting bright red or cream (possibly black) peplum dress and nude heels. I would probably rock and up-do, simple earrings, a wide gold cuff, and a red lip as well. Sassy right?

New Trend Alert! Collar Necklaces

So there are several new fashion trends making their debut everyday. Some I do not like and some are growing on me. A new fashion trend that I do like is collar shaped necklaces. What is so cool about this new accessory is that it can take your outfit in several different directions. It can make your outfit edgy, it can make your outfit classy, it can make your outfit a combination of both. I also love that people of all ages can embrace this accessory.
