Fringe has been a big trend, but we think tassels may even be bigger…and not for nothin’ either because they can be a lot easier to carry off without looking like you’re trying to relive the 70’s!

A few of our favorites…

In the kicks department:

Thank you j.crew! And, of course, for you girls who are afraid of heights, j.crew has a flat version:

IMG_2249 Comfy and stylish…a win-win!

Here’s a little beauty that looks way more expensive that it is, making it virtually irresistible. From Nordstrom…

IMG_2250

It’s no secret…we belles do love to make a statement with a shoe, and this one from shopbop surely fits the bill…and then some!

IMG_2251

And we couldn’t resist throwing out an option for the baby belles, also from j.crew!

IMG_2253

Movin’ on, belles…because we love a good pocketbook and tassels add just the right amount of sass…

This one from Rebecca Minkoff shows that this smart-cookie designer knows her way around a purse!

And we can’t leave Tory out! This cross-body from Tory Burch is cross-generational…meaning all the women in the family will be having hissy fits over this one.

And it wouldn’t be right to ignore the inside of the purse, now would it???

From Banana Republic…

IMG_2593. Awesome-ness…just sayin’.

Or how about this monogrammed little beauty (belles always love a monogram)!! Get it at Clare V…

IMG_2592

And then there is always a phone case, ’cause the phone could use a little fashion boost, too! From Henri Bendel:

IMG_2591

And our ears could always stand a little extra “something-something”. These two from shopbop are the perfect way to add a little pizzazz to a classic ensemble…

And, belles…bathing suit season is just around the corner, so how about adding a touch of whimsy to your cover ups???

A pareo from Revolve Clothing…

IMG_2263

Another festive option to frolic in, also from revolveclothing

And let’s not forget that tassels can upgrade a patio, porch or party in no time flat.

Island love from etsy:

And another glorious accessory for zee home or fete from food 52:

So, belles…obviously, tassels aren’t just for loafers anymore!
Tassel on belles!

necklaces that speak for themselves…a statement-making friday friend-1-1

We were, of course, glued to the Academy Awards Sunday night…watching for all of the big fashion moments…and there were almost too many to count!! (good and bad, just sayin’).  One of our favorites…

IMG_2391

…Margot Robbie with this to-die-for bauble around her neck!!  Now THAT’s quite a statement she’s making there!!  And…notice…it even has a hint of fringe (remember yesterday, belles?)

Statement necklaces are super “in” right now, and they seem to us (so therefore it must be true!!) to come in and out of fashion on a pretty regular basis. So we think all belles should have one (or two) in their repertoire, because belles have never been afraid of makin’ a statement. We’ve found some great luxe options and, because we are all about a smashing frugal find, we found some awesome pocketbook-friendly choices as well (you’re welcome).

We have long admired the talent and design of dylanex, masters of the statement piece…necklaces to die for, and rings, too, but we need to stay focused for a mo.  These pieces are detailed, gorgeous, forever pieces of art.

Let’s take a peak at our luxe label faves first:

Our pocketbooks aren’t quite fattened up enough to invest in these beauties quite yet, so we went on the hunt for something that would do for the time being. Well…we about fell out when we discovered that our favorite go-to for reasonable, of-the-moment jewelry has a slew of very clever dupes.

Check out our fave finds from baublebar…(zee bank accounts are lovin’ these too!)

CLEOPATRA, PEARL ORWELL, ELEANOR

Keep in mind, y’all don’t have to wait for an elegant evening to get your fancy on!!  Think out of the box and wear them with your jeans and button down shirts.

Go make that statement, belles!

360 pearl stud, accessories, bauble bar, dior tribal earring, pearls, suds

You naughty belles!!! We are talkin’ about pearl studs…and not just any pearl stud either. These are happy-dance worthy. They are über-chic, edgy, on-trend, and happen to be the perfect dupe of these Dior pearl earrings…..

Belles love their pearls, and to be able to kick them up a notch…well, it just makes our hearts melt. And…bonus…when it turns out to be a belle-bargain, we do even more dancing and prancing!

That’s right belles, your wallets are safe with us for the moment. Bauble Bar has designed a pair that we deem Olsen-twin worthy ….can you say identical?? For $28.00 !!!! Whew…sorry…lil’ out of breath from all that celebrating!! They are called the 360 and come in blush or gold (gold being a white pearl with gold metal…what we ordered) So, get on it now, belles. Order here …please! We beg of you…we don’t want you to miss out!

Your lobes will thank us.
