The Look

Brooches are making a chic comeback. These decorative pins can be worn so many different ways and make for the perfect gift come holiday season. When styling, the key is to keep your look feeling modern. Have fun grouping small brooches together and pinning them to sweaters, cardigans and blazers for an instant small touch of glitz. Add decorative accents with brooches pinned to a simple black cocktail dress in unexpected ways. And you can even add a small brooch to the hair for a special evening out or wedding.

Option 1: the little black dress 2 ways

Chanel brooch ($1898); unsigned Schreiner green and purple brooch ($1148)

For an evening out, add a touch of glitz by pinning a brooch to a little black dress in unexpected ways. Here we took 2 separate brooches and pinned them in 2 different places on the same dress to show you how 2 looks can be achieved with 2 simple adornments. The first style shows a brooch pinned on a large bow tied to the front side of the dress. The second option has the black bow tied in the back and a brooch pinned to the center front.

The Look

The holidays are officially upon us and the social season has kicked into full gear. With all the parties, galas, cocktail soirees and social gatherings to attend, its difficult to achieve a different look for every occasion. So in today's segment of The Look, we show you how easy it can be done by styling 5 different jewelry looks with 1 go-to black dress.

Option 1

Chanel clear and gold pendant necklace ($2,498); 1984 Chanel pearl necklace ($2,498); unsigned pearl, gold and rhinestone long chain necklace ($398)

Layer Up: select 3 necklaces that vary in length but share the same stone or colorway to achieve a perfect layered look. All 3 of these necklaces feature gold and either a pearl or round bead. For a more simple effect, just select one necklace and add an embellished clutch.

Option 2

Unsigned large pink collar necklace ($3,428); Kramer pink bracelet ($868); 1940's Coro Filigree hinged purple bracelet ($648)

Bold beads: a statement beaded necklace is a simple adornment that adds major impact to any evening look. The pale purple and pink color combo is an unexpected and fun alternative to a traditional pearl or metallic look. For additional bling add a bracelet or 2, keeping within the same colorway as the statement necklace.

Option 3

Thelma Deutsh pink earrings ($648)

Neck-Less: not feeling a bold necklace for a night out, opt for jeweled statement earrings that play off your bracelets of choice. These stunners are perfect for any occasion. 

Option 4

1960's unsigned long lariat style tassel beaded necklace in gold tones ($298); Sandor gold bracelet ($648)

1920's inspired: play up the flapper within you with a fun beaded tassel necklace. You can tie this bauble at various lengths to give you multiple looks in one. For an additional accent add a bracelet that features the same duo tone as the beaded necklace. Silver or gold accessories work well with this look which makes its a definite go-to for more then 1 occasion.

Option 5

1950's Napler gold bracelet ($498)

Wrist play: we love to double up bracelets or even play up both wrists with a bracelet each. Have fun adding and subtracting different jewelry pieces to create different looks for any occasion. The simple addition of any adornment can switch up your look instantly.

The Look

This winter try mixing up your look with a statement scarf + necklace duo. Whether you're rocking a scarf for warmth or an added adornment to your ensemble, scarves can be worn with jewelry. In today's segment of The Look, we're showing you how to style a layer of long necklaces with a scarf for a boho chic look, a drop necklace + dresser fur wrap for an evening out, and a luxe fur collar and statement necklace combo that will instantly make any of your go-to jean and sweater pairings special.

Option 1

Unsigned long gold tassel necklace with blue glass beads and gold filigree balls ($698), 1950's unsigned very long blue and moonstone beaded necklace ($398)

Boho Chic: We love this look as a go-to everyday, dress up with a pencil skirt and bootie for work, and skinny jeans and boot for the weekend. Light weight scarves like this one are perfect year round, so its fun to add layers of long necklaces to mix it up. When selecting which necklaces to pair up with a scarf like this, stick with one color that's featured in the scarf, and opt for necklaces that vary in length.  

Option 2

1960s unsigned black necklace ($280)

Luxe Look: We love a sophisticated look, and this combo is perfect for any special occasion. When selecting the right jewelry piece choose a necklace that compliments the fur wrap and doesn't compete with it. We love how this necklace looks as though it could be a part of the wrap when worn together, yet can also stand alone as a statement necklace when the wrap is taken off.

Option 3

 

1980's Unsigned multi strand gold necklace with multi colored disc dangles ($598)

Fur Fabulous: Fur accessories are one of the hottest trends this winter and a must-have for any fashionista. Whether you're wearing fur paired down for a casual look or dressed up for evening, don't shy away from an added piece of jewelry as well. For a successful pairing of fur + statement necklace, focus on one piece that hangs perfectly within the collar shape of the fur, and has complimenting colors. Keep the rest of your look sleek and simple so the eye is drawn to the fabulous neck embellishments.

Key Piece = Lanvin dress that easily takes you from office to fun

Option 1

A statement necklace is the easiest piece to select that will instantly update any ensemble. When choosing a piece to best fit your look, keep in mind of neckline and style of the dress or top your wearing. We love this bold vintage YSL necklace because the gold and brown accents compliment the fabric color of the Lanvin dress perfectly and the pop of green adds interest.
*YSL green necklace ($1,648)

Option 2

There's a huge trend right now of playing up your wrists. Have fun mixing and matching various bracelets to create a layered look. To help keep your layered wrist look apropos, select bracelets that have the same color of metal for a base and try various width and embellishments. For evening or a downtown edge look, think about playing up both wrists and add an additional bracelet.
*1940 Trifari gold bracelet ($448), unsigned bracelet ($548), 1960s unsigned gold square link bracelet with flower ($248), Harman gold bracelet ($1,898)

Option 3

To add a graphic punch to this chic Lanvin dress, we love the idea of a graphic earring. For a more simple approach, choose one large earring and keep the rest of your look simple. For a bold approach, you can pair any of these options up with a necklace or bracelet. We recommend evening only for the latter approach. For a classic twist to a modern dress, pair up with a drop peal earring.
