This is the season to get graphic. I’ve paired graphic prints with clear crystal quartz and black thread statement jewelry. Like life, graphic fashion is not black and white. Pops of color, neon preferred, bring life to these strong black and white graphic ensembles. Try these sample ensembles and create your own graphic prints. The clear crystal quartz earrings and coordinating clear crystal quartz cuff work for graphic touches.

Romantic

Individualist

As the title implies, the individualist bride focuses on making her wedding day, HER wedding day. She approaches every detail with a focus that truly reflects her and her partner’s personal styles.

Modernist

The modernist bride steers towards the edge with assymetrical lines and contemporary details. Style Folio’s modernist bride mixes a little bit of the old and makes it new again.

So, what are you going to do with your new year? I decided that I’m not dressing in depressing grey garb despite the big R word. No, honey, I’m going to live it up and have some fun. Life marches on one way or another and I’m doing it to the beat of my own drum.

“If one is good, more is better”, professes my friend and designer Mary Jane. She took the words from right out of my mouth. Layering your jewelry is a fun way to add visual imagery and dimension. Baubles come in many shapes, sizes, stones and textures and when they are mixed together, magic happens. Plus, ladies, you know that you can never have too much shimmer to go with that shake!
