The year has started with a beautiful, sartorial bang with big baubles and other statement jewelry being featured in major fashion magazines.
Isla Fisher, the star of soon-to-be-released chic flick, Confessions of a Shopaholic, covers the February 2009 edition of InStyle UK donning multiple strands of large, silver, faux pearls. The eccentric necklace is embellished further with excessively feminine flowers in varying shades of gray.
The gallery shows a few other statement accessories featured in Spring/Summer 2009 fashion collections. Score this look yourself by picking of eclectic accessories that are big, bright, bold, long or thick. The most important thing to note is that these pieces must stand out from the rest of your outfits; ensure they exude a fierce and confident persona.
Looks from: Alessandro Dell’Acqua | Bottega Veneta | Michael Kors | Marni | Miss Sixty | Blumarine | Christian Lacroix | Roberto Cavalli | Just Cavalli
