mint edition

This spring, we’ve noticed a major color obsession for the color mint. One favorite pick is our Tassel Clutch, available in store and online. This cute purse is surprisingly versatile as both a day or evening accessory and adds a fun, bright burst to a neutral or bold outfit. Here are how some of our favorite personal style blogs have worn this season’s must have clutch:

Caitlin from Style Within Reach adds a color pop to her stripes, polka dots and floppy hat.

Style Within Reach, again brightens her polka dot outfit with a minty touch.

Katy from Sugar Laws wears hers with a summery floral dress.Dylana from Color Me Nana wears hers with handmade friendship bracelets and one of our rings from our Autumn/ Winter collection (and we have some gorgeous new ones, like this!)

And in our NYC office, we’re oggling it as we write and sharing it on Instagram! We’ve styled ours with our bow ring, available in store and two sets of our 925 Silver Russian Bands.

What do you think of the color mint?

Is there a color this season that you are absolutely loving?

New York Fashion Week Essentials

New York Fashion Week has officially begun! Fashionistas from across the world are descending onto the Big Apple to preview some of the upcoming collections from America’s coolest designers. But without a doubt just as much fashion happens off the runway as it does on. What to pack, what to bring and what to wear are questions on everyone’s lips. We’ve put together our must haves for the week…

1) Don’t forget a camera! Or at least our Vegas Pendant for appearances (and an iPhone for some cute Instagrams). Our Vegas Pendant is available in store.

2) Make sure you are hands free with a Bucket Bag, this season’s It purse. We suggest our Mini Bucket Bag for an on trend and affordable look!

3) A statement necklace like our Structured Gold Torque Necklace adds glamour and glitz.

4) Layers are a must! It can get hot and cold going in and out of those tents. Channel an urban jungle look with our Digital Snake Scarf.

And 5) We also recommend some comfy flats to rescue your feet from those killer heels!

Wear it now: Winter Floral

Even though it’s the middle of winter, we’re can’t help ourselves from thinking about spring and summer. You could even go so far as to say that maybe because it’s still January we’ve got floral prints on our minds – and in our outfits! Take a cue from editors & bloggers and brighten your look with some winter floral fun and wear your favorite spring styles now…

Trend to Try: Stacking Rings

If some of you follow Accessorize USA on Twitter, you’ll know that we occasionally “pop” into Style Chat, a weekly fashion tweet up hosted by the lovely team at Style Caster. Last week everyone was talking about one new jewelry trend that they love: stacking rings! We couldn’t agree more and so, with rings on our fingers, we’ve pulled together some inspiration to show you how to incorporate this trend into your everyday look. We suggest pairing your rings with brightly colored nail polish and a chunky, statement ring for added flair. Shop our ring collection in store and online.

Jenni from I SPY DIY tries on our Solar stacking rings at a recent in store visit (available in store). She paired it with our Sparkle Friendship Bracelet.

Claire from De Lune (above and below) wears our Sterling Silver Bands. Accessorize will be releasing a similar Coin Ring for Spring/Summer, but in the meantime we suggest our Travellers Coin Pendant or our Coin Bracelet as spotted on Jenni above (available in store).

Behind The Scenes at our Autumn Winter Campaign.Our Autumn Winter campaign, see available rings in store and online.

And our Heart Stacker Rings make a cameo appearance in NYC!

Of course, please join Style Caster (and us!) on Wednesday from 3 – 4pm EST (that’s 8-9 GMT for any of you in the UK) to talk fashion and trends – just follow the hashtag #stylechat and start tweeting!

Trend to Try: Eclectic Knits

We’ve spotted a trend to try this winter – eclectic knits! Mix up your woolies and go for winter knits with unexpected embellishments and details like faux fur, ribbon, and leather. As Time Out New York report from the streets of Manhattan, “wool isn’t just for sweaters, scarves and gloves.” They suggest our Abbey Alternative Striped Earmuffs as an unconventional knitted find. Or mix leather with wool and pick up our leather gloves with a knitted overlay, as recently featured in Vogue (online). And if you want to go girly with your knits, try our Frou Frou Earmuffs, as seen in January’s Life & Style. You can also create an eclectic look by layering two different knits of scarves. Without a doubt, this is a trend to try this winter! How do you wear your winter woolies?
