TRENDSPARK: Going Chunky

One of the biggest items in jewelry right now is the chunky necklace. It’s a statement piece that can transform even the most basic outfit. You can find it in every style—from bohemian-inspired to a classic vintage look. It’s been a favorite amongst stars this year, even making appearances around celebrity necks on the red carpet.
Here are some select necklaces out of the variety available to choose from:

1. Forever 21- $10.80, www.Forever21.com
2. Circa 78- $38.00, www.UrbanOutfitters.com
3. J. Crew- $128.00, www.JCrew.com
4. Tarina Tarantino- $125.00, www.ChickDowntown.com
Hyden Yoo Fall 09



Rumor has it that Hyden Yoo will do a collaboration collection with Urban Outfitters in Nov, but for now, he has released his Fall 09 collection. With many variations of the blazer, and a few gingham button downs, there will be much to choose from. A clean and sleek look, much like a J.Crew or Banana, yet with many more details and better colors.

J.Crew Launches Holiday Jewelry Collection
J. Crew has decided to launch a jewelry line to help with sales in this time of recession. The brand’s vision is filled with crystal-encrusted rings, glass bead necklaces and chain link bangles. In my opinion, the pieces look very similar to Banana Republic’s, but the quality and design appears to be top notch. And with many of the pieces costing under 100 bones, it’s extremely affordable.
