Trend Spotting: Thumb Rings

Remember thumb rings? They're back! Choose dainty or thick, but keep your thumb ring simple and plain. It should almost go unnoticed.

Trend Spotting: Wearing Your Watch On Top

The Winter brings its own set of fashion quandaries. From finding chic yet warm and dry footwear to how to showcase your watch and arm parties while wearing sweaters and layers. May I suggest a solution to problem #2? (Still unsure working on number 1...erg.) Why not try wearing your wrist watch on top?! I've been noticing some super stylish ladies rocking this trend all season long. I thought I'd share my stylish observation with you, dear readers. Enjoy!

Would you wear your watch over your sweater or sleeve? Is this a trend you'll try before Spring arrives?

Do or Don't? Brooches

What do we think ladies, are brooches old-lady-ish or making a stylish comeback? If they're done right they have the potential to be fun and flirty. I especially like the over-sized flower pom-pom ones. I am thinking, ban.do?

What do you think, leave it for the grannies or bring it into 2013?

This or That: Stacked Rings vs. Solo Ring

 PC: stacked: Atlantic-Pacific Solo: Brooklyn Blonde
Lately I've been loving stacking up my thinner rings, one atop of the other, on the same finger.  If one ring on a finger is good, than two (or three!) is better.  I've found that this works best with thin rings in the a similar metal or color.  So do tell, do you prefer stacked rings or one chunkier solo ring?
