Marni Resort 2016 - Runway Flashback - Those embellished clutches

Lately I went through my swipe file and re-discovered those exquisitely embellished clutches from Marni's Resort 2016 collection.  Those almost "bug-like" two-petal flowers especially grabbed my attention and my own little beaded version (see at the bottom of this post) was born.  Though, by adding sequins in my version - it probably turns out to be more like Marni meets Shourouk.  Just a start, still figuring out where and how to incorporate this little component...

Runway trend - Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear - Medallion Necklaces

It seems like Chanel & Prada have something specific in common this season on their Spring 2017 Ready-to-wear runways - Medallion Necklaces!  They might as well also be glammed-up back stage passes for all you know.  Either way these bold eye catching statement pendants suspended from equally gorgeous chunky chains are a win-win for everybody who choose to wear them this season.  View the entire collections here and here.

How exciting is this?  Taking the asymmetrical trend a bit further - the latest craze - mismatched earrings assembled from what seem to be odds and pieces of some found objects.  Marni's Spring 2017 runway boasted some amazing eye-catching jewels complimenting the bold architectural look of the collection.  View the entire collection here.
