dolceegabbana_392x0The cover of Vogue Gioiello jumped out in a sea of predictable magazine covers. It was a wow moment…page after page of beautifully crafted jewelry and months of inspiration…all for…gulp $17.95. I debated for about…two seconds…and then ‘you’ll be sorry if you don’t buy me’ won out.  I felt better this morning, when I found the same issue on Ebay for $26.95.

While the first featured item is not jewelry, it tells the story of a trend…Byzantine.  The complete magazine is online so…set aside some time for browsing all of the ‘trends’…you will be captivated.

I love the description: “Layers of Russian gold plated brass petals, filigrees and findings handwired onto cuff bracelet. Width of bracelet is 3 inches with a 1.75″ opening. The inside is lined with navy blue faux suede.”

verawang-kohlsThe Fall InStyle Makeover magazine features crystal necklaces with ribbon tie closures. How simple is that!!! They range in price from $36 for a Simply Vera-Vera Wang at Kohls to $448 for an Elie Tahari with a J.Crew for $98 in the middle.

Sorry, no photo for the Elie Tahari necklace. I loved the J.Crew jewelry page…inspiration galore!

The featured fabric is from Duralee. Due to the issues with photography and color changes on the computer screen it was hard to find a fabric that ‘glowed’…but a good rule of thumb is to follow  interior design trends for your designs.
