Lulu Frost 100 Year Collection

>> A century's worth of antique finds goes into each bracelet, necklace, and pair of earrings in Lisa Salzer's new 100 Year Collection for Lulu Frost. Inspired by Salzer's own collection of vintage jewels, this new batch of stunners was created with the same type of re-mix artistry that went into last April's 100 Year Necklace; each piece features no less than six vintage jewels, all originating from a different era between the years 1860 and 1960. Here's an up-close look at each of the new pieces, currently available in a special vintage sale at Moda Operandi.

Fall into Layers

Fall 2011 Street Style - How To Layer for Fall

>> Ease into cooler weather — and add longevity to your Summer basics —  by copying this street-snapped styling trick. Warm-weather mainstays like mini skirts, T-shirts, and strappy wedges may seem destined for storage once the temperatures drop, but by employing a little expert layering, these wardrobe favorites can power on straight through Fall. A long shawl cardigan adds warmth when layered under an oversized white blazer, while strappy sandals get elevated to boot status with the addition of ankle socks and sheer tights. Strong accessories — a black bucket bag, a thick cuff bracelet, a wide belt — help to ground the look. Want to make this style your own?
