From animal prints to oversized sunglasses and beautiful beads, enjoy!
• BEADS!: The sun won’t be the only thing that’s hot this spring! Long strands, or multiple strands worn together-it doesn’t matter, just wear beads. Beaded necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are perfect for any occasion. Whether you want to go casual or dress up, beads can be worn chunky or delicate.
• Animal Prints: Spring 2005 may leave Pittsburgh looking like an African safari. Animal print accessories, especially purses, were all over the runways at New York City’s fashion week. Use animal prints as an easy way to liven up your look.
• Oversized Sunglasses: Don’t leave home without your sunglasses this spring-you’ll both look great and please your optometrist in this season’s Jackie O. inspired look. Whether round, oval, or aviator, any style of this oversized eyewear will do!
• Flats: Kick off your heals! Ballet slippers, embellished flats and tiny kitten heals will add an extra bounce to your step this spring. After a stiletto filled winter season your feet will thank you for following this trend.
• The Backlace: Inspired by the beauty and sensuality of a woman’s back, this latest jewelry style goes perfectly with the tops of warmer weather. Hand crafted and invented by Pittsburgher Cheri Hayden, indulge in a backlace this spring and “make a grand exit” from the winter season!
