My obsession with the growing Lucite/acrylic/perspex trend began when I saw this insanely cool, minimalist-meets-industrialist bracelet. You’d think since it’s clear, Lucite wouldn’t really make much of an impact – but each piece shown here is a shining example of how that’s not the case. Lucite can be surprisingly elegant, as shown by these decently priced MMM earrings, or as modern and edgy as it gets (the fact that this necklace is called the “Nebula Bib” instantly makes it so much cooler). Will you be hopping on the Lucite bandwagon? If so, will you go edgy or elegant?

P.S. I’m spending my weekend on an action-packed (err, shopping-packed) adventure in New York – be sure to follow along on Instagram!

The unofficial color of Spring 2013 is mint, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I’ve been a huge fan of the pastel green since last year (and have been searching for the perfect pair of mint green jeans since, which I finally purchased here). It’s easier to find this year, even in varying shades of minty green and minty blue, which makes me want to snatch it up in the form of tops, dresses, shoes, purses – just about anything I can find (plus, wouldn’t it be cool to have a totally monochromatic outfit?)! Here are some items I’d gladly add to my closet.

They say that history repeats itself, and nothing could be truer when it comes to the fashion world – various decades of the 20th century have been having their moments in recent time. Most recently I’ve been seeing 60′s mod-inspired pieces in magazines and in stores, and I kind of love it – here’s my tribute to a decade past.

Trend Spotting: Quirk Factor

quirk factor

 

This year, many designers embraced quirkiness. (We’re talking shoes with full facial profiles on the sides. These even feature a ponytail.) There were surrealist-inspired accessories and animal-sporting sweaters. As seen in this post, I’ve developed a new-found appreciation for the quirky (and animal-printed), so here’s my tribute to all things unusual in the fashion world.
