Black Enamel Fashion Bracelet

Enamel jewelry is pretty hot right now. Available in a multitude of fashionable colors, these statement pieces are everywhere. One great incarnation of this accessory is the black enamel bracelet. Not only does it evoke the bold nature of the style, but it allows you more flexibility considering it features the ultimate, and arguably most exciting, neutral color. It can add a bit of glam to an outfit while still being versatile.

One great way to wear this piece is for a night out on the town. Black goes with anything, so if you’re wearing a dress of practically any color, this accessory will match. To make it stand out a bit more, try wearing it with a color other than black, so the bracelet can stand out in contrast against the color you choose. Usually if you’re going bold with color in the clothing portion of your ensemble, it means that the accessories should provide a point of balance. This piece does just that. The black enamel tones down the look while still allowing you to accessorize without looking like it’s too much.

Also consider playing with a bold shoe or clutch purse. The same rules apply as above for a dress or flashy top. You can also consider playing around with prints, too. The black and gold of this accessory naturally lends itself to leopard print which feature the same colors. This bracelet can effortlessly tie together leopard clutch purses by using the same colors instead of repeating the pattern. This way, the colors accentuate the print, allowing it to stand out more and make more of a statement.

This piece is also great for the office. If you’re looking to add some oomph to your normal workplace ensemble, a simple but chunk piece like this adds some personality to your look while still being professional and appropriate. Pair this bracelet with gold or other statement necklace. Buy this stylish bracelet at Chicastic now!

What’s in your clutch purse?

Clutch bags are small so we have to make some big choices as to what goes in them. Here are some tips on what basics you’ll need to keep in your handbag.

Unlike large bags, such as totes or backpacks, a clutch is not designed to hold every possible thing we may need while we happen to be out. Small and light weight clutches can hold some essentials. Be sure you have the basics in your clutch in order to meet your basic needs.

First and foremost, always carry your wallet and ID! These are obvious essentials and are always good to have on hand. Money and identification is the most important thing to have on you in an emergency, and can help get your bag back to you if you happen to lose it.

Since you already have make up on when you are going to a party, you might only need a lipstick and foundation. A small, travel-sized sanitizer is also great for dirty hands on the go and takes up virtually no room at all.

Makeup essentials should be next on your list. While it’s probably a little overboard to bring your entire set of make up with you everywhere you go, even if you do happen to have a tote bag, all you really need are the basics to conduct any necessary touch ups. A basic eyeliner, powder and mascara will do. If you happen to wearing eye shadow, bring that case in the event some of the powder rubs off or gets smudged and needs fixing. If you’re wearing lip stick or lip gloss, bring along the shade you’re wearing since it will wear off or dry over the course of the day. Only bring what you’re wearing, adjust your makeup tools to that day’s routine. Only bring what is necessary!

Backup accessories are also great to carry. It’s comforting to have a ring or two and a necklace if you’re not sure where the day or night might take you. Bring a statement necklace or a bangle to wear in case you end up going somewhere that might demand a little more glamour or if you’re unsure of what you’re currently wearing. It’s always nice to know you have an alternative. Even if you leave the house with jewelry and later feel over-encumbered or over dressed, then you’ll have somewhere to store them if you decide to take them off.

A clutch is a small, handheld bag, but can hold more than you think. It absolutely has the room you need to carry any basic necessities, and is actually all you probably need to carry in any bag you choose to wear. To find a clutch bag for your next evening out, come to Chicastic now!

Beige Gold Clutch Purses & Accessories

Neutrals are often known for being conservative, colors that are used to tone down others or as blank canvases on which to layer colors and patterns. But neutrals are more powerful than that. We usually think that they are only used as a base on which to display our fashion accessories and dress up with bold colors, but they are just as powerful as accessories, too. Beige is often an overlooked color, but it can have a lot more power if you know how you use it correctly. Though often associated with conservative looks, it can actually be used to effect when used as an accessory.

We often think of accessories as a means to dress up an outfit, but these handy accents can also be used to add balance and symmetry, resulting in an overall put-together and polished look. Beige accessories do just that. If you’re wearing an outfit that features bright colors or patterns, a beige clutch purse can be just the thing. While you want to stay away from flashy jewelry when wearing bold or daring colors and prints, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t accessorize at all. Use a beige waist belt or sash to add symmetry to a patterned dress. The addition of a neutral accessory breaks up the outfit, creating shape and dimension without making your outfit more complex or too busy.

In fact, the addition of a neutral accessory, such as a sash or even a scarf, can tone down an outfit without actually taking away from the ensemble itself. Bold tones, shades and patterns can often stand on their own, and the addition of accessories can make an outfit too complicated and over the top. Just as accessories are worn to dress up or add oomph to simpler or more basic outfits, neutral accessories can add necessary balance to make more daring styles look put-together and balanced. Aside from pieces like scarves or belts, beige handbags are a great neutral accessory. A beige bag goes with everything and can still be jazzed up with a chain strap. Jewelry is also another simple option. A beige bangle, earrings or statement necklace has a similar effect in gold, to which it is similar in shade and tone, but is not nearly as flashy or shiny. A beige piece of jewelry can still give you the effect of wearing an accessory while remaining subtle.

Beige, and other neutrals, have the power to add a professional looking balance to outfits. It all depends on balance and the look you are aiming to achieve. Visit Chicastic now to find your favorite beige accessory.

Mint Fashion Jewelry

Colors can come and go in fashion just as styles of clothing do. Mint emerged on the scene a couple of years ago and seems to have some staying power. This color is bright and refreshing, adding a bit of chic coolness to any ensemble. While initially associated with the lush greens of spring, it has lasted through the summer and can even be worn to brighten chiller autumn looks and mirror the iciness of winter. Though clothing pieces are still hot, mint jewelry is definitely trending and can last you well through the winter and into the coming spring and summer.

Mint-gold jewelry is everywhere right now. Seeing a recent comeback these past few seasons, gold is back with a vengeance and has taken mint along for the ride. The two are glam together and can brighten up any outfit without being too bright or overwhelming. Statement necklaces, chunky bangles or cuff bracelets, and even solid-toned rings and retro, over-sized gemstone earrings feature the color. Silver is an option too, of course, and gives off more of that icy, wintry feel. Either combination can be worn throughout the seasons and look best when worn with neutrals like black, grey, or even navy blue, as well as alongside complementary colors such as purples or blues, though the darker the tone the better. When paired with darker colors, the refreshing jewelry stands out and is allowed more room to truly shine and take center stage. Don’t forget the power of other accessories! Chiffon scarves or handbags are just as much accessories as jewelry and can be used to similar effect. A chain-strap purse can also combine the elements of gold/silver jewelry when paired with this cool shade for added glam.

When worn against a backdrop of neutrals or dark, complimentary tones, it can stand out and add oomph. When worn with khaki, beige or white, this shade adds a bit of color and compliments the generally cool and light nature of the outfit, but when worn over darker colors such as black, navy blue or even a rich plum, this mint shade can really shine and stand out. Like any other color or pattern, try to be aware of how much of it you’re using in a given outfit or ensemble. Thankfully, the gold/silver combination helps break up the colors and adds some dimension, but otherwise, mint is more of an accent color and packs more punch when used sparingly and wisely. Check out mint jewelry at Chicastic and find something that you like.

Matching Your Fashion Accessories

Fashion Accessories have a lot of power, and more than you may think. They can make or break an outfit. They can define your overall style. They can even dress up or dress down an outfit, transform pieces from fun and flirty to prim and professional. Like any other item, they need to be chosen accordingly. Mixing and matching jewelry and handbags can be just as vital when you’re choosing which accessories to wear with items of clothing.

If you’re going for a subtle look, synchronizing all of your pieces may be the way to go. You don’t want to look too matchy-matchy, but wearing accessories with a common theme is always safe. Choose a simple silver or gold and go from there. Wear a chunky gold bracelet with a gold chain strap purse. Match silver earrings with a ring and shoes or a belt with silver accents. Even if you don’t go with simple silver or gold, using subtle accessories set in analogous colors in regards to your outfit (in other words, your outfit consists of colors all in the same family and lie next to one another on the color wheel).

Or if you’re feeling brave, accent your outfit with accessories set in complimentary colors, ones found on the opposite side of the color wheel. If you want to go for a bolder look, try choosing brighter, eye catching colors, especially if your outfit mainly consists of neutrals. A leopard print clutch or shoe would look stunning against an all-black outfit, just as wearing a bright mint statement necklace or hot pink scarf. But the key to mixing bold accessories is not to use too many at once. Choose one wow item, don’t try to mix several bright items together if they don’t match or compliment each other. A little goes a long way.

It is incredibly useful to know how to manage mixing patterns and prints, and some items can help you tie a busy outfit together. A well-placed belt in an offset color could help break up a patterned blouse and a patterned pant, or an snakeskin handbag could look chic against more subtle, neutral patterned clothing or outerwear. Accessories can bring a lot of balance to an outfit, creating different sections to direct the eye, or draw the eye to specific places over others. Depending on how you accessorize, you can create a countless array of outfits that always keep you looking your best. Chicastic has a lot of great accessories which you can get to match with all your outfits, they are so affordable.

Statement Necklaces

Statement necklaces are all the rage right now. Even if they’re your only chosen accessory they can pack a real punch. They range from casual to formal and eye-catching to outfit-popping. The great thing about this piece, no matter what the style, is its versatility. They can add depth to any outfit really pop. They can be worn with anything: they can add color and glamour to any little black dress, brighten the collar of any solid patterned shirt or sweater, and even dress up the the ever classic casual jeans-and-a-tee shirt.

These bold accessories come in handy in a pinch. They can be worn without any other accessories, yet can do as much work as an entire jewelry set when worn alone. Bolder pieces are best worn with more understated clothing pieces, such as solid colors or very subtle patterns, or against bare necks and shoulders when wearing a strapless top. Try wearing colors that compliment your statement piece but allow it to stand out against the rest of your outfit. If you’re wearing neutral colors, opt for a bold or bright statement necklace that will pop against your canvas of an outfit, making it brighter and more dynamic. Alternatively, if you’re wearing a pattern of any kind, choose a necklace that’s subtler but still adds some glam, such as a bib necklace in gold or silver. This way, you’re still making that statement without clashing patterns or colors.

As mentioned earlier, a great thing about statement necklaces is their versatility. If paired with a dress, they can be classy and chic, and if paired with something more casual it can  make anything appear more put-together and purposeful. Not only that, but they can give any piece of clothing new life. Depending on the combination of pieces, you can make any favorite shirt look brand new again when paired with a one of these pieces. They can change the face of an entire outfit without forcing you to overhaul your entire wardrobe.

Statement necklaces are great for any occasion. They can dress up any old outfit when you’re meeting an old friend for coffee or give an old dress new life if you’re suddenly asked out to dinner. Like any other fashion accessory, a bold neck piece can change the face of an entire ensemble if paired with the right items and can make any piece look fresh and new again. Chicastic has a great variety of statement necklaces. Check them out now!
