Soft Chic

February 2, 2010

image

Feminine, romantic adornments featuring sumptuous silks, luscious laces, and silky satins send a clear message this season: “soft chic” has taken the spotlight. Laurie Kaiser’s new Be Charming necklaces are a perfect example of this trend. These effortlessly elegant pieces offer up a symphony of delicious textures: richly hued hand-knotted silk shimmers against finely detailed charms accented with blackened gold and sprinkled with tiny gemstones. Try your hand at “soft chic” with pieces you already have in your jewelry box: weave delicate organza ribbon through a chunky chain, tie tiny satin bows onto a pair of drop earrings, or clip a silk corsage to a multi-strand pearl necklace. The possibilities are endless for adding a dash of soft chic to your style.
