Bomb Product of the Day: Brother Vellies’s Beaded Maasai Sandals

Summer is made for statement-making sandals and few have made a bigger impression on me than these $1,250 Brother Vellies Beaded Maasai Sandals:

The hand-beaded and feather-accented knee-high stunners are made in Kenya and are inspired by the traditional garb of the country’s Maasai tribe.

Brother Vellies designer Aurora James was photographed in Vogue Paris wearing the sandals. I envision pairing them with everything from a simple white mini dress to a pair of casual cutoffs.

3 Ways to Style a Vintage Chanel Necklace

 

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, aka Coco Chanel, the founder of the Chanel brand remains one of the most influential people of the 20th century. Born in France during a time where women were constrained by tight corsets, she brought chic, revolutionary style to women post-World War I. Known for her work ethic, energy, and exciting social life, she remains a cultural icon decades after her death in 1971.

Chanel is a name that exudes sophistication. From designer clothing to perfume and jewelry, the iconic brand is known around the world. A vintage Chanel necklace, coveted by many, dresses up every wardrobe with its chic Parisian style. When it comes to wearing fine antique jewelry, however, there are a few things you’ll want to know.

There is a right way to showcase antique Chanel jewelry. Follow the advice listed below for three ways to style vintage necklaces. You can’t go wrong when you try these tips on for size.

Crafting a Vintage Look

Rihanna-modelled-sexy-makeup-Chanel-necklace

One of the best ways to style a vintage Chanel necklace is by wearing it with other vintage items. Family heirloom pieces such as pearl bracelets and diamond earrings look beautiful with classic jewelry. If you want a pulled-together look, however, don’t make the mistake of pairing a modern shoe with vintage clothing. Keep the look consistent and opt for solid colors which help the necklace stand out.

A vintage black dress and plain white blouse are wardrobe staples that bring older jewelry to life without being over-the-top. The idea that less is more should be taken into consideration. Designer jewelry commands attention on its own and doesn’t need a lot to look great on all ages of women.

Making it Modern

Mixing modern favorites with vintage Chanel necklaces is a great way to show off your style. Women who opt to wear classic and contemporary attire demonstrate edginess and creativity. They’re able to see the best of both worlds, the one in which their grandmothers and mother grew up in, and the world they know today. Beautiful designer clothing from Chanel mimics styles from yesteryears making it acceptable to combine antique jewelry with modern fashions for a look that impresses day in and day out.

Layering it with Other Designer Necklaces

A vintage Chanel necklace layered with varying lengths of other designer necklaces offers the perfect balance between style and creativity. Taking a piece of jewelry and making it your own is often the goal of the designer when they create it for the customer. Don’t be afraid to experiment and show your playful side.

It’s the risk takers that serve as trailblazers innovating the world we know. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when styling your Chanel necklaces. Pair them with long silver or gold chains. Wear three or four necklaces at once if the mood strikes.

 

 

Words to Live By According to Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel contributed a lot to the world of fashion. Her impeccable style and sharp wit made her the iconic figure she is today. The Chanel brand lives on through its high-quality jewelry, clothing, handbags, and perfume.

Here are a few of the rules Coco Chanel lived by:

  • “The best color in the world is the one that looks good on you.”
  • “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”
  • “You live but once; might as well be amusing.”
  • “The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive.”

If there was anything Chanel was good at besides designing, it was living. A beloved socialite, she had lots to say about living and dressing well. Books and entire style movements follow Coco’s code for looking and feeling your best. That’s why it shouldn’t be hard to wear vintage Chanel jewelry and stun the crowd.

In Closing

Selecting a classic Chanel necklace from TrueFacet enables fashionistas to purchase truly beautiful, vintage jewelry at a fraction of its retail costs. This allows them to enjoy a fashionable piece of history without breaking the bank to buy it. More importantly, the company offers an authenticity guarantee and a 7-day money back guarantee on all its products. Customers buy with confidence because they know they’re getting the real deal.

No wardrobe is complete without a stunning vintage Chanel necklace. A truly remarkable woman, Coco Chanel revolutionized the fashion industry helping shape it into what it’s known for today. To quote her once again, “The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.”
