Sunday Brunch and other to do's

Top of the Morning to ya!

I am on my way to a brunch with some lovely ladies and I think I am in a little of a bind deciding on what accessory to wear with a dress I bought from Express (pictured above). I am not feeling the beaded necklace as I think the dress already has a lot going on. I am debating on whether to accessorize with gold or silver earrings but I am leaning more towards gold earrings. I wish I could take pics of the accessories I am contemplating on wearing but of course as luck would have it my camera broke.

Sooooo...I need a camera! badly! I wish I had a camera for my outings so I can at least take pics of how other women accesorize and post some of them and also of accessory finds from my travels.

:-(. Don't worry though in due time I will get one and I will be sure to post pics in the future.

I am already running late and currently typing this blog post while applying makeup, a skillset only a few can conquer, so I off to putting the finishing touches and running out the door.

Happy Sunday!!

Tribal Affair

Batik, Mexican Flair, and Indian inspired textiles, what do all of these textiles have in common? Well they are the latest trend to wear these textiles as accessories. I remember as a kid, my mother would wear batik textiles or she would have dresses made for my sister and I and we hated it, H-A-T-E, hated it. But now it's all the rage, I can't get enough of it, especially in my accessories. Ha! My mother saw my tribal woven necklace and shook her head saying: I was in fashion way before the trend. Ok, Mom.

I am too excited about this trend because there are enormous possibilities of wearing tribal flair, either in shoes, earrings, handbags,or bangles. Of course, I wouldn't suggest overdoing it, such as wearing all your accessories in tribal flair, it would literally be overkill and a fashion no-no. Just wear one or two pieces that are inspired by Batik, Mexican or Indian cultures and you're golden.

I wear my tribal flair either in a necklace, handbag, clutch or ring, not all at the same time but one at a time. I prefer rocking the trend this way because it allows the piece to have it's own center stage against your clothing as its backdrop. I don't like my accessories fighting with one another.

What's the bright Idea?!?!

It is official, Spring is almost here and everywhere I look I see neon, neon and more neon. I'm beginning to think I need to wear shades. I am enjoying every bit of this trend because I can wear all black or all white and the topic of conversation would be how bright my bag, earrings, or bracelets are. lol. This trend of course is only for the fashionista that isn't scared of having her accessories lead a conversation or take all the attention away from her.

If you're iffy about the trend, it's not your fortay or you're not sure of what type of neon you would like to wear, I always say start small when it comes to such a trend and wear neon studs or bangles and then move your way up to a large neon handbag or large hooped neon earrings. Or you could get a handbag that has small neon accents like the bag above.

Wow! It's been a minute

Hey Everyone,

I know, I know it has been a minute since I posted some accessory goodness but I have been working on some projects that I hope you will be excited about. I have also set up some accounts on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter for Accesuality and have been posting and traveling like crazy just to get the best of the best for my loyal readers.

I will of course update more often with a few new segments, such as featuring current and up-coming accessory designers, accessory finds from my travels, trends and alerts for the upcoming season and my thoughts on new accessories and if they are a keeper or just a one time fad.

I am looking forward to the changes being made this year and excited about my upcoming projects. I will keep you posted and don't forget to follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest at Accesuality.

Thanks!!

XOXO
