Bryna Nicole Goes Hippie Chic for Fall

By Faith

With Fall on the horizon, a search for a new handbag for the season is in order. Atop my list is a slew of pieces from Bryna Nicole. For Fall, she has taken hippie chic to the next level with metallic pieces adorned with studs and fringe: a handbag lover’s dream.

These pieces mix uptown chic and downtown cool in the perfect way. They are definitely flashy, but in the most tasteful way possible. This collection is truly for a confident woman, who doesn’t mind standing out in a crowd or being unique. The finest leather is used and the detailing and construction are remarkable as well as the ultimate functionality of the handbags.

Though on-trend for this season, these hippie chic pieces are timeless and will last for years to come. The Mini Fringe Idora pictured above is the perfect crossbody style and also comes in a vibrant gold.

No piece from this collection will break the bank as they retail from $200-$645. I have my eye on the Silver Idora Fringe. Visit www.brynanicole.com in late August to purchase.

Legendary Gorjana’s “Graham” Collection

By Samantha

Gorjana is a phenomenal line of jewelry and handbags that has gained a cult celebrity following from the likes of Cindy Crawford, Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, Mandy Moore, Hayden Panettiere, Olivia Wilde, Hilary Duff and Debra Messing, to name a few. The line doesn’t seek to be trendy, easily compliments any woman’s wardrobe with stylish, fun, and beautiful accessories. The collection is handmade and utilizes the finest materials from sterling silver to 18k gold plating.

The styling of Gorjana is really my favorite. Each piece is refined and elegant, of-the-moment, and still timeless. The pieces are meant to be investments that you can take on with you as seasons change, wardrobes move forward and time passes. No matter what, your Gorjana jewelry lasts a lifetime, and always looks effortlessly chic.

The line’s leather collections launched in 2009, and have since become a fan favorite. Gorjana is for everyone, and these leather bracelets go with just about anything. The inspiration for these lines is a love of color, which is easily seen in the piece’s vibrant hues. This jewelry is an easy way to add color and fun to your wardrobe. More classic fashionistas may wear one at a time, while accessory mavens will  line their wrists with Gorjana bracelets, making a statement with flair.

The studs on the “Graham” collection give it a kick, while staying sophisticated. There are more classic colors, muted tones and metallics, along with brights perfect for summer, or for curing the wintertime blues. Nothing like a great bracelet to spice things up.

The “Graham” collection is just one of the many lines that the brand has to offer. Other lines include necklaces, rings, earrings. Visit Gorjana to see all of the offerings. I am sure you will fall in love and be totally inspired.

Get Rebellious with Bulga’s New Collection

By Faith

This season, it’s all about studs and adding an edge to your ensembles. I prescribe to a few trends every season (in fashion one must stay current) and I am happy to say that this one delights me. I have always been the “more is more” type of girl wearing three bangles when I should have only worn one or mixing prints. Embellishments and high-octane accessories line the walls of my closet and this season my shelves are overflowing with edgy pieces to complement my everyday looks.

Bulga’s newest collection is at the front of my list. It features handbags of the hautest persuasion from roomy shoulder bags to tiny crossbody messengers, all that pack a punch with studs or in eye-popping colors. These aren’t pieces that you should be afraid to invest in because they are of the highest quality and because trends circle back every few years. They also give some life to the more classic pieces in your wardrobe so there really is no fear in bringing them out season after season, despite the current trends in the market. Bulga plays on military and rocker motifs which are right in line with pieces straight from the runway so you will be on trend and rubbing shoulders with the fashion elite.

Embrace your rebellious side and invest in a handbag that will take you over the edge. Visit lebulga.com for more information. More pieces from the collection below.

Sabina Les Scarves

By Faith

36metalchainstudcircleThere is no better investment piece than a beautiful scarf. Scarves can enhance any ensemble and can be worn in a multitude of different ways: as a headband, over a simple t-shirt, or for evening. 

Sabina Les’ experience comes from her background not only in fashion, but in licensing, branding, and graphic design as well. After years working for others in the industry, she decided to branch out and follow her dream of starting a line of luxury silk scarves.

Her current collection is named “The Silk Scarf”. It is inspired by complex graphic motifs including chains and links. There is also an edge to the collection as shown in its animal prints and studs which are right on target with trends for Fall.

Sabina’s designs are appropriate for women of all ages who are looking for great pieces to enhance their wardrobe. The scarves start at $90 retail so they are also a smart purchase. More of Sabina’s designs below.
