Editors’ Pick: In Praise of Big Hoop Earrings

Fashion_Reverie24The higher the hair, the closer to God, or so they say—remember 60s beehives and the big hair of the 1980s.  And the larger the earrings, the louder the praise; well, that is Fashion Reverie’s estimation.

Last September at New York Fashion Week: The Shows, big hoop earrings were seen on the runways of designers from Proenza Schouler to Nicholas K to The Blonds to Tibi. The trend is not new, dating back to the 90s when hoops earrings were the go-to urban look in the Latin community. Musician, actress and fashion icon Jennifer Lopez is credited with popularizing them in the mainstream with the look becoming wildly popular among female consumers under 30. (Remember, Jenny from the block.)

Like all things 90s, right now, big hoops have made a comeback, and everyone from H&M to David Yurman has hopped on the trend. Once Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, and Kendall Jenner were donning big hoop earrings, it was only a matter of time before everyone had to show their sense of style by wearing big hoops.

That said; big hoop earrings are a subset of an even larger trend: fashion maximalism. For those not familiar with the maximalism movement, maximalism is a reactionary response the minimalist theory of ‘less is more.’ Maximalism is all about excess, in other words ‘more is more.’ For the past several years, designers have been showing how larger than life they can be, now even more so than ever in the face of rebellion against right-wing politics.

In_Praise_Big_hoop_earringsAs maximalism movement continues, it is worth noting that this was also fashion’s response to coming out of a period of subtlety and understatement—a response to the Great Recession of 2008. Fashion designers played it safe and stuck to garments that would sell. Once the luxury sector rebounded, designers unleashed with everything from avant-garde styles to statement jewelry that made big statements.

The less-is-more approach went out the window, and jewelry designers took notice. Big hoop earrings also let us know that women are now looking for statement pieces aside from coveted ‘It’ bags or high-priced stiletto footwear.

Fashion_Reverie23Still, don’t purchase any old big hoop earrings thinking you’re in the fashion know. Jewelry selection is an art form, one that isn’t to be taken lightly. Keep in mind how big is big when considering your own face shape. If you have a more petite face, don’t go too oversized. If you are opting for stones, diamonds are a simple, classic choice, and it might be best to stay away from colored gems and semi-precious stones. The size and boldness of your earrings are already making a statement; there is no need to draw any more attention to yourself.

The great thing about big hoop earrings is they can go with almost anything. They can be paired with tee shirts, dresses, gowns, even suits. While this isn’t something we at Fashion Reverie would recommend for the courtroom or boardroom, it’s a versatile look to go from casual Friday to the cocktail party.

If you dare to go really out there with your style, try the one earring look, but make sure it is something that is beautifully ordained and designed. It has to be the kind of thing that says “I have style,” not “I just bought a medieval doorknob for my ear.” Find yourself the perfect ear catching pair, and let them speak for themselves.

Fashion Reverie loves accessories, so we picked our latest 2014 red carpet favorites. One of the good things about clutches and/or jewelry is that these accessories can range in sizes and work well with a variety of age demographics. As long as you match it properly, you are good to go. The big trend this year at the 71st Golden Globes and the trend we expect to see on sequent award shows are  pinky finger rings and clutches, lots of yellow gold jewelry and light color. clutches.

Let’s start with the men!! Usher knows how to accessorize with taste. Kudos!!  He wore a custom Lorraine Schwartz Mockingjay brooch! How about that for a stylish guy? Fashion Reverie thinks it is a great way to unique and able to stand out from other male celebrities wearing black tuxedo

Topaz and turquoise jewelry was quite a hit this season. Though Paula Patton’s beautiful David Yurman ring was hard to notice because of her overwhelming dress, the ring was a standout nonetheless. Sofia Vergara wore a lovely Lorraine Schwartz necklace and Emma Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence choose to represent Neil Lane. All great looks but Jennifer did best in bringing out her beauty with the pop of green and a chick new hairstyle.

Clutches are an important detail when walking a carpet. This year lots of starlets matched the clutches with blinged-out jewelry or nail art—manicure in case of Zooey Deschanel. It looks like we all have to go shopping for some gold oversized bangle cuffs.

Jessica Chastain in Bulgari necklace and Cate Blanchett in Chopard earrings went for a more classic, traditional look. With these two actresses, traditional sophistication is always in vogue. Until the next red carpet, stay fabulous!!

Editor’s Pick: Fall 2013 Punk Chic Accessories

Punk_Chic_Accessories_11As you may know Punk is back for fall 2013 and at Fashionreverie.com we love all things Punk inspired! From New York City to Paris some of the biggest fashion houses have cranked out amazing Punk Chic accessories for fall 2013. With the resurgence of Punk on runways in 2013 has come a more redefined and sophisticated look to the once unapologetic style that was birthed out of youth rebelling against the mid-1970s social norms . With Punk Chic accessories this season, it was all about matching hard and soft, masculine and feminine qualities that can be found in Punk accessories. Whether you want to dress it up or dress down Punk-inspired accessories this season, the trick was adding just the right amount of edge without seeming contrived.

 Tom_Baker_London_Mohawk_page

Bags

This genuine springbok fur and leather clutch by Ted Baker London is the perfect accessory for any stylish fashionista wanting to tap into the Punk Chic trend. With its leather finish and blue/black fur trimming that almost mimics a traditional punk-styled Mohawk, this clutch will definitely be turning heads and making a statement in true Punk fashion.

Dafine Balatsos features an awesome studded ball bag for men on odd-style.com. While not considered practical by many fashion pundits in the traditional sense of menswear accessories because of the brand’s out-there, over-the-top presentation, Punk has taught us that breaking tradition always gets you attention!!

Shoes

These Charlotte Olympia and Tom Binns’ Dolly Riot safety pin–embellished, platform pumps don’t read as Punk inspired at first glance, but if you are conscious of the “DIY” mentality in 70s Punk culture, evidenced in distressed clothing with safety pin that were the result of re-purposing dated, threadbare clothing, then you will understand Charlotte Olympia and Tom Binns’s point of view. In that spirit of Punk, Charlotte Olympia has crafted a pretty modern and feminine pump with that perfect balance of chicness and edgy rebellion.

The Cinzia Araia blade high Santiago boot is perfect for the man looking to bring a much-needed edge to his look! With the zipper detailing going up the back of the boot and the “blade” shaped opening of the boot, Araia captures the essence of what it means to be Punk Chic.

Bracelets

Bijoux De Famille has crafted a gorgeous cuff bracelet that is a great modern interpretation of Punk-inspired accessories. From the spikes and the rose gold coloring of the cuff, this takes Punk Chic into a more subdued expression while still maintaining the essence of rebellion.

Cropped_bracelet

This gunmetal chain bracelet by Lanvin, available on ssense.com puts a really chic and refined spin on the Punk Chic trend. This bracelet would look great on any guy, and gives us a fresh take on Punk accessories for the fashionisto.

 Punk_gloves_Lagerfeld

Gloves

Karl Lagerfeld’s black-studded fingerless gloves are the perfect balance of being on trend while still offering the classic style of Punk to your wardrobe, with an obvious ode to Lagerfeld. Great for fall, and perfect for any man or woman who dares to pull it off!

Punk_gloves_valentino

Valentino offers the perfect blend of edgy/elegance with his black and beige leather gloves called the “rockstud.” With the studs bringing the not-so-subtle, nihilistic edge with just a hint of sophistication, the elegance and refinement of the accessory is what is most striking! Keeping up with the trend of updating the look of 70s Punk to a more chic distillation is what makes this glove work for any woman who still wants to incorporate Punk Chic into her wardrobe.

Editor’s Pick: Sydney Evan’s “Love” Ring

Downloads42Gowns, gowns and more bridal gowns; well, that is what New York International Bridal Week seems to be all about. And it is, but then some.

Every bride wants that perfect gown. That gown she will look radiant in and wear only once. However, she also needs the perfect accessories, and the first accessory that comes to mind is the ring or in some cases nowadays, a series of rings. That’s right I said rings, plural.

Though the engagement and weddings rings are the premier rings on the mind of every woman. Still, some ladies are opting for additional rings announcing their engagement or a committed relationship.

lauren-conrad-4When reality television star and fashion designer Lauren Conrad announced her engagement to musician William Tell, her three-carat solitaire diamond stunner was set off next to the strategically placed Syndney Evan “Love” ring. And the 14k gold and pave diamond ring seems to accompany Conrad’s engagement ring nicely.

And the Sydney Evan’s jewelry collection has graced the covers and had regular features in Elle, Vogue, Lucky, Marie Claire, W, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Oprah, Women’s Health, Self, People and Sports Illustrated Swim 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Editor’s Pick: Manitobah Mukluks

 Fall is slowly creeping upon us which means it will be time to tuck away those summer clothes and transition into a chic, new fall/winter wardrobe. As fashionistas hunt for the trendiest ensembles and begin to reinvent themselves for the new season, Fashion Reverie has found the perfect boot to move into the fall/winter season courtesy of our northern neighbor. Aboriginal-owned Canadian brand, Manitobah Mukluks produces the finest in mukluks and moccasins footwear and it is the most comfortable trend-setting boot you will ever wear this season.

 The brand comes from humble beginnings originating from Aboriginal traditions in the small, quiet town of Winnipeg, Canada. “I started in the tanning industry in the nineties and began trading tanned leather skins and furs for handmade artisan mukluks and moccasins. I saw the demand rise every year until I decided to go into business for myself as a manufacturer” says Sean McCormick, founder and president of Manitobah Mukluks.

Instead of incorporating the flash and wow that burgeoning brands adopt to get the attention of consumers in an over-saturated market, Manitobah Mukluks has chosen to stay true to its roots by embracing the Mantiobah heritage of sophisticated craftsmanship that is unique to that community. “ I think the mukluk has all the qualities to become Canada’s iconic winter boot. It has the rich history and functionality that consumers are looking for nowadays. I wanted to design something that could simultaneously celebrate my culture while being modern and functional for urban use” explains McCormick.

The collection reflects that history in its beautiful designs featuring suede, rabbit skin, and genuine sheepskin, all harvested from the local community with detailed embroidery you won’t find anywhere else. “… We are continuing the artistic tradition that our ancestors have passed down to us and by doing so, I feel like we’ve really borrowed these designs from the Aboriginal people that created them thousands of years ago … Our success as a brand also contributes to a sustainable economic future for all Aboriginals in Canada” says McCormick,

Manitobah Mukluks utilizes the artistic history of the community and channels it through their ‘Storyboot Project’ that commission original handcrafted footwear with a limited collection of replicas called Storyboots. All the indigenous artisans are offered a share of the profit to create a business that holds a solid bond with their culture.

Manitobah Mukluks is expanding the brand and its aesthetic with their recent collaboration with snowboard giant, Burton Snowboards by producing‘Memento’ boot, a mukluk-inspired women’s snowboard boot for Burton’s upcoming 2014 winter collection. “Manitobah’s deep heritage and incredible craftsmanship complements Burton’s design ethos and brings something completely new to our women’s boot line…” says Greg Dacyshyn, Chief Creative Officer of Burton Snowboards.

Manitobah Mukluks is available through their online store and at select retailers for the fall/winter 2013 season.

Though we may be in the middle of summer, it’s still not too late to pull out one of the fashion must-haves of any summer, trendy shades. While a chic summer ensemble mainly consists of vibrant ready-to-wear pieces matched with a funky pair of footwear, sunglasses are the cherry on top that can bring an outfit together. Larry Leight, founder and creative director of cult sunglass brand Oliver Peoples, contends, “a woman should consider owning a pair of sunglasses for any type of activity that she does, the same way she would with shoes.”

Since Fashion Reverie always wants it readers in the loop of what’s in style, our editorscame together to compile a list of some of the must-have shades to beat the heat wave.

The Quirky Fashionista: Tom Ford Bardot Cat-Eye Acetate Sunglasses ($356)

Yibrow sunglasses

The Budget-Conscious Fashionista: Quay Eyewear Australia Yibrow Sunglasses ($39.95)

New York may be battling its fair share of heat, but countries like Australia are used to battling non-stop days of blistering sun and steamy weather so brands like Quay Eyewear are at work year round to make sure they deliver Aussie fashion to the masses. The Yibrow offers that fashion-forward spark for the average budget-conscious shopper and it doesn’t hurt to have a celebrity like Beyonce sporting these frames.

Remember, there’s a pair of sunglasses to match every fashionista. Karl Lagerfeld said it best, “Sunglasses are like eyeshadow. They make everything look younger and prettier.”
