Defiant in the face of recession, bling still in

Embellished Legwear: Spanning both cool and warm weather wardrobes, legwear has been a closet staple among female consumers for the past few seasons, and the trend shows no signs of waning. Worn with shorts, skirts, dresses, and even solo among the more sartorially adventurous; tights, stockings, leggings and knee high/thigh high socks in a variety of hues, textures, and prints are still some of the hottest accessories around. The next iteration of this trend comes in the form of embellishments, ranging from stones and studs to sequins, cutouts, embroidery, patches, crystals, and just about any adornment you can think of. During a time when true luxury can be somewhat out of reach, these glitzy details are an easy, more affordable version of high-end fashion.


Sneaker Earrings : Proskateboarder Andrew Reynolds' latest shoe for Emerica not only comes in flashy colors like electric light blue and purple, but each pair also comes blinged out with removable (faux) diamond studs that attach to the lace holes. A more "mature" take on the Crocs plastic jewelry so popular with the kiddie set, sneaker earrings may just be the next big hit among those looking for a new way to accessorize.
