Fleet Ilya Accessories for Spring 2011

 I don't generally expand into accessories much when it comes to look books but the artfulness of this photo shoot and the fact that the accessories themselves are killer I had to post about Fleet Ilya. Combining fashionable accessories with bondage  Fleet Ilya is dangerously sexy. Just as a warning, Fleet Ilya's website is NSFW but when you get home take a peek, they have beautiful leather goods. Here are more of Fleet Ilya's accessories that are safe to view.

Spring 2011: Scarves. Plus a Spring 2012 prediction

Generally when one is thinking of a scarf they are associating it as a nice Fall/Winter accessory that is stylish and serves a purpose, but not this go round. Light, colorful scarves are a great  and versatile Spring/Summer accessory. You can wear them on your head for glamorous Grace Kelly like look or you can gently drape it over your neck to dress up your favorite t-shirt and jeans. Take a look.

Trend Alert!  


I believe that next Spring you will not only see more scarves coming into play but also ethnic prints. I know you some of you saw my quick post about fashion taking a bohemian turn for Spring 2011 and I think that this is part of it. So remember 2012, scarves and ethnic prints. I will put together a full look  from what i'm finding retail wise a little later. That will be part of my upcoming series of fashion forecasting trends for Spring 2012. Stay tuned for that.

Fabulous Under $50 : Put a Ring On It.

Todays fashion under $50 is all about the rings. A nice statement ring can really complete an outfit. I know some people are absolute jewelry snobs and cannot  stand the thought of costume jewelry, but it even Coco Chanel herself had a love for costume jewelry.She felt as though every woman should look opulent even through they couldn't afford the real thing. Costume jewelry has come a long way and sometimes even difficult to spot the difference between the costume piece and the real deal. There are some that are clearly costume but they are just so much fun to wear its hard to pass up. Here are some of my favorite finds and all under $50.
