Why Did You Wear That: Holy Moly!

By Kirsten|October 2nd, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

I don’t know what you did this past weekend (and it’s really none of my business), but maybe you’re feeling the need for a little repentance. Fortunately for you, one of fall’s big jewelry trends may help ward off any unwelcome evil. That’s right, the return of the rosary (or the cross) was shown on many of the runways. Paired perfectly with this fall’s luxurious leathers, velvets, crimsons, and blacks, the addition of this simplistic accessory is the perfect companion for a truly rocker ready look. Opt for a long singular pendant, layer on in different lengths, or wrap around your wrists. I’m not saying it’s going to replace praying in a pew, but it certainly can’t hurt.

1. Bing Bang Vivienne Cross Earrings, $40, 2. Lynn Ban Diamond Cross Ring, $850, 3. Gorjana Cross Over Cuff, $80, 4. Jennifer Zeuner Horizontal Cross Necklace, $143, 5. Tarina Tarantino Gothic Lucite Skull Rosary Necklace, $99, 6. Ettika Cross Wrap Rosary Bracelet, $75, 7. Wildfox Black Crystal Cross Bracelet, $55.99, 8. Low Luv x Erin Wasson Cage Cross Necklace, $105, 9. House of Harlow 1960 Cross Pendant Necklace, $70

See you in church.

WhyDid or Why Don’t: Jam Packed

By admin|August 22nd, 2012|Why Did or Why Don't?, Why Did You Wear That?|

Speaking of the end of summer, looks like school’s back in session. And even if you aren’t actually headed back to class, it seems that backpacks are making a bit of a comeback for fall. You may remember the tiny backpacks of the mid-90’s having a moment (oh, yes you do, Cher Horowitz), but this rendition is a bit bulkier and crafted in leathers and coated fabrics rather than canvases and corduroys… meaning you might actually be able to fit more in them than lip gloss and a tampon. Dare I say even a real— book?! And while these aren’t your run of the mill Jansports, I’m not sure I can get on board with the book bag look.
