Metallic shoes: Yves Saint laurent Spring 2012

This spring/summer 2012 promises to be a bright season indeed as two of the hottest incoming trends include tangerine and metallic shoe details. Metallic shoe details are an exciting trend for 2012 which gives any shoe a tougher punch. Metallic toe caps to be exact have been seen on major brands like Louis Vuitton, Thierry Mugler, and Yves Saint Laurent. Yves Saint Laurent, the brand that succeeded in stealing the heart of fashion critics and exigent fashionistas, is well known for their clothing, but this season their shoe collection is turning heads and being noticed by even the most discernible shoe lovers. Stefano Pilati managed to tame the hunger of the fashionistas for exquisite accessories with the help of the breath-taking Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2012 shoe collection. Bunuel’s 1960 film, Belle de Jour, served as the main source of inspiration for Stefano Pilati. His dazzling ensembles were complemented with show-stealing accessories as loafers and platform shoes. During the creative process, the highly acclaimed designer fused minimalist and super-neat silhouettes with futuristic glamor and high class style creations which radiate trend-awareness and refinement. 

 

At the Spring 2012 ready-to-wear show, the shoes were the biggest hit among the front row spectators, including Kyle Minogue and Selma Hayek. The collection featured several styles with a wide gold plate at the toe, some with large crystal  details. The palette was mostly pastels with a few standard black designs and color blocking. The heel height varied from flats to a few ultra high platform pumps. The collection included something for everyone.

Statement Necklaces

Statement necklaces have been a major fashion item must-have since last summer. We've been seeing them on runways and red carpets.  Statement necklaces are brilliant for adding a hint of sparkle or boldness and jazz up any outfit. However, they must be done properly so you don't look like a big chaotic mess.

  

The statement necklace is a standout accessory that make the dress look completely unique and eye-catching. When it comes to necklaces, "the bigger, the better" theory holds true. These huge jewelry pieces that can transform a simple dress, tank or tee into a chic and fashionable ensemble. Beaded or embellished, layered or twisted, long or short; these statement pieces are sure to get you plenty of attention. Pairing up a large shiny necklace with a simple outfit is a hot trend nowadays.

From chunky bejeweled pendants seen at Naeem Khan to edgy metallic chokers at Jill Stuart to Anna Sui's tribal necklaces, it's true the market is full of statement necklaces right now, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding one that suits you.

HOW TO WEAR STATEMENT NECKLACES

Wear your hair up so it doesn’t compete with your statement necklace. After all, you want the piece to shine. You can wear your hair down with a bold necklace, but its better to let the necklace take center stage.

 Match 'em up. Your statement necklace doesn’t have to be a bright color in contrast to a simple dress. Matching your statement necklace to the rest of your outfit creates a long line and gives your outfit some depth. Ginnifer Goodwin kept her entire outfit in the same orangey-brown color family. And the necklace still makes quite a statement.

Wear over-the-top brights. The turquoise blue is a complementary color to the purple, so Carmen stands out in this ensemble. Don’t be afraid to pair bright colors with other bright colors to make your outfit pop ( color blocking is in!!!!!).

I love a good necklace and have recently started to really like big chunky necklaces as you can see
