• Splashes of Silver
  
  

The metallic shade is a fall staple, appearing in the form of glamorous monochromatic outfits as well as a statement pieces like skirts, shorts, and tops for those who don’t want to commit to the full look.  Our favorite way to style this trend is in the form of shoes!

Chandelier earrings were seen on numerous fall/winter runways including Isabel Marant, Miu Miu, and Saint Laurent. The common themes being white crystal and king size, making for the perfect Studio 54 vibe.
