paris fashion week c'est chic: pfw jewelry

Pin It

everyone knows that french women are just inherently chic.  they don't even really try and wear basically the same outfit all week but somehow they do it better than the rest of us.  to me that's what paris fashion week feels like.  it's the same idea as its counterparts around the globe but somehow it feels just a little more exclusive and a little more glamorous.  this paris fashion week in particular had it all.  there was glamour (hello chanel), there was controversy (i'm looking at you saint laurent), there was kate moss (quelle surprise chez louis vuitton), and most importantly there was jewelry.  i think paris fashion week can be summed up in two words: understated and oversized.  the jewelry seemed to conform to this ideal as well both on and off the runway.  it seems like everyone wants a piece of that french mystique.  that certain je ne sais quoi you might even say.  and if jewelry like this is the way to get it then sign me up.

london calling: lfw jewelry

Pin It

or is it jewellry across the pond?  well no matter how you spell it london fashion week had it and it was good.  really good.  from the runways to the streets, london was teeming with jewelry inspiration of the statement making kind.  london reaffirmed what we have already learned from new york that bigger is better and less is certainly not more.  to me the discernible difference between the new york and london set seems to be in the layering.  in new york we saw a bit more of the pile on and in london one or two great pieces were allowed to speak for themselves.  you will notice that a good portion of the london street style photos below are from in detail, the amazing beanie major's jewelry blog.  her photos from lfw are stunning and what's featured here is only a smattering.  get over there and swoon already. 
so between the layered nuance of new york and the smashing statements of london, which is more your style?  my personal style fluctuates between the two.  some days it looks like i just might be wearing every piece i own and other days i'll let a particularly beautiful piece have the spotlight.  if you're struggling to find an answer you'll find tons of london inspiration from both the runways and street style below and you can check my previous post (runway and street style) to put you in a new york groove.
