I Hear Leo Roaring!

Leo is roaring. http://www.vintagecouturejewelry.com/ is alive with Leo's favorite color yellow and gleaming gold. Bright golden tones can be seen in jewelry and clothing. All shades of unpredictable, firey hot yellow are being paired together with cobalt, tangerine, charcoal grey, navy and of course black. Wait... yellow is the new black! I love the combining of different shades of yellow in the same look. It has been a long time since yellow has been way out in the spotlight. This time around yellow is sophisticated and outrageous all at once.

Jewelry is trending in huge staement pieces in hot yellow gold and brushed yellow gold. I am enjoying the move away from silver to the much more modern look of gold. The "real" look is back and is pumped up. Even Kenneth Jay Lane could not resist reissuing some of his popular 70s designs. Giant link bracelets with gemstones and huge charms are needed to set off your outfits. We haven't had a season of color and boldness in clothing and jewelry in such a long time.

What do you do if you want the look but are new to the vintage look costume jewelry scene? Well, a great gold tone oversized link bracelet is the first necessary accessory. This can be paired with bangles or worn alone. Button earrings are beginning to emerge as a fashion trend and necklaces are getting larger with wonderful pendants and gold links. The chain belt can be worn over a simple sweater and http://www.vintagecouturejewelry.com/ has some fab belts with charms.

I have loved the enamel looks in jewelry this summer. It really jump started us into the color trends of the new season. http://www.vintagecouturejewelry.com/ is offering enamel jewelry on sale for all of August-check it out! And take it from Leo-try a little roaring with gold jewelry and hot yellow fashion!

Luv,
Your fashion-loving lioness PatraB
