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.

Marni - Spring 2017 - Ready-to-Wear - Runway trend - Oversized Mismatched Earrings

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.

Ericson Beamon - When Glamour meets Fantasy

Should you find yourself unable to be mesmerized when entering the enthralling world of the couture costume jewelry house of Ericson Beamon, you're probably not in love with life itself anyway!  Not much more could be said which has not already been said about their absolutely beguiling highly desirable confections... in the end one could just agree with Dries van Noten:- "Ericson Beamon is really an overdose of beauty and creativity." - (one of numerous fashion designers who have collaborated with this brand for their runway collections).
