Accessories trend for 2010

The top four women accessories trend for 2010 starts with “animal prints” followed by “metallics”, “snakeskin” & “studs”:

Women’s fashion accessories’ trend #1 is animal prints. Although short women may not want to wear a leopard print dress, leopard print earrings can make for the right touch of trendy style appeal without going over the top. Find animal print fashion accessories for fall in handbags, shoes, and jewelry.

Women’s fashion accessories trend #2 is metallics. Metallics make great accessories because a metallic gold or silver is a neutral fashion color, so it will go with anything. We don’t need to save metallics for the holidays. Today’s metallic accessories can be worn every day and everywhere.

Elson for St.John

It looks like there’s a replacement in the ad-campaign for St.John. Elson replaces the gorgeous Angelina Jolie..

The fiery redhead Karen Elson has replaced a sexy screen siren Angelina Jolie for the latest ad campaign St. John. The reason for change according to St. John is that Angelina’s fame was overshadowing the brand. We have a feeling British bombshell Elson will have no trouble living up to her predecessor’s raw appeal. Greg Kadel captures an exceedingly pale Elson, whose shock of red hair is a perfect example of the 2010 hair trend.

Jump Back Into It

The jumpsuit, disco staple of the 70s, has become a very hot commodity in modern fashion. Celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Kim Kardashian, Sienna Miller and Sharon Stone have been spotted wearing stylish jumpers and although women may think only celebrities can pull off this look  it  is definitely not the cause.
There are various ways to play with this look. Today’s jumpsuits come in many different styles, (capri length, full -length, etc.), offering the perfect fit for any women. No matter the style or length, throwing on a belt to the ensemble always adds the ‘FAB’ touch. This is definitely a look that can be played with,  adding a belt and some bangles can transform the casual get-up to a more flirty look. Adding a pair of strapped high heel pumps or ‘gladiator’  sandals with a vibrant nail color can also add to the versatility.

Another great thing about jumpsuits is that they tend to make you look slimmer and taller than you really are. The jumpsuit is a must have item in your closet and if worn well can look effortlessly chic. The different looks that can be obtained by simply accessorizing the jumpsuit are endless which makes it so much fun.
