S/S 2013 Vintage Inspired Statement Jewelry

I can't get enough of the vintage inspired statement jewelry being shown for Spring/Summer 2013.

The jewelry at Gucci looks very much like the pieces created in the 1940s and 1950s by Miriam Haskell and Tony Duquette.

And I love the long forgotten trend of the necklace matching the earrings!

At Dolce & Gabbana, it's all about statement earrings.

They seem to be inspired by the look of Carmen Miranda in the 1940s.

Spooky Lace

Gloria Swanson 1924

I love this photo of Gloria Swanson taken by Edward Steichen in 1924. There is something so elegant yet mysterious and almost spooky about it. Jason Wu was clearly channeling this version of Gloria for his Fall 2011 Runway.

In fact, lace was all over the runways for Fall 2011. And who can blame the designers. When done right,

lace is elegant, classic, beautiful, sexy and adds that touch of mystery - that je ne sais quoi that Steichen is so adept at capturing in his portrait of Gloria Swanson. So tonight consider donning some black lace in place of a costume in order to swath yourself in Halloween mystery.
