I am counting down the days until spring arrives. I can’t wait to pack up my winter boots, jackets, and scarves. While spring doesn’t usually necessitate tank tops and flip flops, I do enjoy wearing beautiful pastel colored short sleeved shirts at this time. To stay warm during the cool spring mornings and nights, I often slip on a colorful sweater over my short sleeved blouse. Sweaters are a great way to bridge the gap in your wardrobe between the cold winter months and the hot summer months. If you currently don’t own any spring sweaters, now is a great time to stock up on them. On this blog, you will learn how to find the perfect sweaters to match your spring shirts. Enjoy!
This year's eclectic jewelry scene will leave you with plenty of exciting adornment options no matter what your plans for the spring and summer season are. If you're getting married this year, you might be interested in investigating cutting-edge tungsten bands as an alternative to traditional wedding band options; if you ever longed to play dress-up with your grandmother's classic jewelry, now's your chance. The following are five jewelry trends for 2015 that you are going to love.
Irregular Earrings
Irregular earrings come in many guises this year, from mismatched colors to asymmetrical lengths and shapes. One particularly attractive look for summer garden parties and outdoor weddings is single-gem posts paired with dangling cascades of the same gem. Earrings with the same design and gemstones in different colors and metals is another good look for 2015. No matter what the imbalance, there still has to be some type of connection between the two earrings that makes visual sense -- simply wearing two completely different earrings won't work as a fashion statement this year. For instance, combining the same gemstones in a variety of shades, shapes, and sizes is preferable to mixing different stones.
Vintage Earrings
Think the kind of earrings that you'd find gracing the lobes of the quintessential ladies who lunched their way through the 50s and 60s, when glamor at noon was a significant part of the cultural landscape. You can still find these dressy little earrings at many estate sales, or you can borrow them from your grandmother or purchase reproductions at retail jewelry stores. Think delicate and restrained, such as pearls with silver and small diamond chips or vibrant sapphires on thin gold wires. Single studded pearls never fail in a pinch no matter if the meal is lunch or dinner.
Jeweled Lingerie
Unique jeweled lingerie is particularly popular this year among new brides. Bustier, teddies, thongs, and lacy, romantic nightgowns decorated with semi-precious jewels are going on honeymoons all over the world. Seed pearls adorning lacy white bras is a nice summer lingerie look that works for women of all ages. Thigh-high stockings with sprinkles of tiny sapphires, opals, amethysts, and other semi precious stones are also a popular lingerie look this year.
Tungsten Wedding Bands
Modern, edgy couples are increasingly opting for tungsten wedding bands over their gold and platinum counterparts. Tungsten is an extremely strong material that appeals to the sensibilities of today's generation. Men like it because it's minimalistic and rugged at the same time, and women like it because it's unique to their generation. Some couples feel that the sheer strength of tungsten wedding bands symbolizes their strong commitment to one another. Additionally, tungsten retains its polished sheen for years with little or no maintained beyond an occasional washing with mild dish detergent to keep it free of everyday dirt and grime.
Understated diamond chips make a perfect accent when inlaid on tough tungsten bands. Unlike traditional metals, tungsten can be carved and crafted into a huge variety of styles, which is why many couples are choosing to have their wedding bands custom designed using this material.
Brass Everything
This year, the metal of the moment is brass. It's showing up in earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and body jewelry. This year's brass jewelry designs are trending toward spare, industrial pieces that let the luster of the metal take center stage. One especially trendy look for 2015 is a basic brass choker adorned with yellow amber beads. This elegant look goes with anything from a casual sundress to a summer-weight linen business suit. As a nod to the Art Deco influence on fashion of the 1920s, brash buttons on shoes, gloves, and handbags are also making a comeback.
