November 4th, 2019 by Samantha Furno Trend Report: 5 Ways to Elevate Accessories
With a new season upon us, comes a fresh plethora of new and unique micro-trends that I am always excited to give a shot in my wardrobe! This autumn and winter season, we are noticing a more playful approach on style, especially when it comes to accessories! True, a classic black leather bag and an elegant pair of gold hoops will always be a staple in my fall wardrobe, but this season is all about experimenting with textures, such as eye-catching patterns or unexpected hardware, proving that less isn’t always more! Here are some fun micro-trends that I’ve been spotting in the accessory realm of fashion lately and trust me: they are definitely worth trying out for yourself this season!
Birds of a Feather
Luxe and romantic, feathered accessories are the cherry on top for any party-ready outfit this season!
Chains on Chains
Layered, messy and even tangled, gold chains are an excellent and chic way to show off all of your favorite necklaces at once this season!
Faux Croc
Although it isn’t a new print my any means, croc is definitely having a moment in fashion this season! Whether it’s on knee-high boots or a classic bag, croc is a stylish way to spruce up your accessories collection.
Fluffy Headwear
Move over beanies; this season we are seeing a ‘winter twist’ on some of the most timeless and classic styles of hats and hair accessories!
Costume Jewelry
Pearls, diamonds and gems, oh my! Costume jewelry is no longer reserved for the holiday season and it is the perfect way to add some glitz and glamour to any outfit!

July 15th, 2019 by Samantha Furno Trend Report: Silk Scarves for Summer
This summer season has been full of stylish micro-trends, from tie-dye to bucket hats, but lately I am loving the fact that feminine silk scarves are totally making a comeback! Silk scarves were a favorite accessory of old Hollywood starlets (think Grace Kelly or Bridget Bardot) and they were the perfect piece to add to any outfit to make it feel a bit more European-chic! Modern day fashionistas are taking this retro-accessory and wearing it in unique and stylish ways, making the trend feel totally fresh. Whether you wear them up in your hair or tied around your favorite handbag, a silk scarf is the perfect summer accessory to add a hint of old-Hollywood glam to your summer outfits! I’ve rounded up a few totally chic ways we’re seeing this accessory incorporated in summer looks!
Wear it as A Top
If you can snag a scarf that is slightly longer, push your style limits a bit and try wearing it as a summer top this season!
In Place of a Hat
For the ultimate old-Hollywood vibe, wear a feminine silk scarf on you head, tied loosely around your neck. Plus this is a fantastic way to camouflage a bad hair day!
On A Handbag
Jazz up your favorite summer handbag with a vibrant silk scarf!
In your Hair
Add some Parisian flair to your summer look by wearing this accessory as a hair tie on a warm and sunny day!
On Your Neck
Wrap a long and thin scarf around your neck in place of a necklace for some fashion-forward flair!
