(Marc Jacobs Fall 2006)

Glam Shopping Beat column for the week of 8/21/06 - by Lesley Scott:

Never one to avoid risks, Marc Jacobs showed an unexpected collection for fall, a pumped-up silhouette comprised of layers upon layers of  leggings, skirts, dresses, sweaters, vests, scarves, jackets, caps, hats & even voluminous great coats. While the possibilities for creative dressing are endless, without restraint, the look can easily head way over the top to destinations less fashionable.

To avoid this fate, retire the massively oversized necklaces, 80s doorknocker earrings, and baseball-sized cuff bracelets. Instead, opt for more delicate jewelry in offbeat designs. Unusual metal combinations look extremely fresh, as well as muted gold and burnished antique hues. Charm-style necklaces and bracelets are a great way to express yourself. Humor is always in style, such as a delicate gold pendant that, upon closer inspection, unexpectedly turns out to be a piratical skull and crossbones.

Accessories are one of the easiest ways to personalize your look, and this season, the best ones speak softly.

Fresh & Delicate Jewelry Options to Pair with the Season's Layers:

Emily & Ashley Skull Pendant

David Gomez Shield Ring
  Vert Gold Disc Bracelet
