Bangles: Inspiration and DIY

I love bangles. They can dress up a no-frills outfit or add intricacy to to layers. It’s a great way to mix old and new or high and low. Here is Caroline Trentini looking gorgeous in hers in the June 2009 Numero. Scroll down for DIY suggestions. PS: They make chic gifts for girlfriends!

New Pieces You’ll Love Forever

stamhb7 Jessica Stam in 'New Pieces You'll Love Forever' by Benjamin Alexander Huseby

Although this editorial is from 2009, I still love it. A lot of the style cues from last Autumn ring true still. The colors, high waists and layering keep it current and Jessica Stam keeps it lovely.

Vintage Gloves

As the weather cools, I’m really into gloves, particularly wrist length, vintage or otherwise. They are easily findable on ebay and a fashionable way to overcome the chills.

Copy these Style Basics from Elin Kling

Elin Kling is Sweden’s “It Girl” and she has her own personal style blog that is full of outtakes from her glamorous life. She rocks tailored pants, loose tees and jackets. Obviously she has great style and I think what I like most is that her look seems totally do-able. She utilizes staples such as leather pants, scarves, sneakers, jackets, t-shirts and a floppy fedora.
