Predictions: The Next Big Things
I was at work and I made a list of what I predict the next big accessories trends will be:
1. Crystals
Chanel FW 2012 runway and Geode necklace that I made
I sold that geode necklace at my workplace craft bazaar. I kinda wish I’d kept it now.
2. Shark’s Teeth
Cresta Bledsoe shark tooth necklace
I’m especially enamoured of Cresta Beldsoe‘s toothy designs.
3. Grosgrain Watch Bands
Park & Bond Vintage Rolexes on Grosgrain Straps
All the cool kids are trying to make their Rolexes less blingy by swapping out the metal bracelets for grosgrain straps.
4. Brass Jewellery
Brass bangle street style and Horn and Brass bracelets
Brass is this season’s boho go to. Unlike most costume jewellery it’s got some heft to it. It also works with classic styles (as pictured on the lady I surreptitiously snapped at the streetcar stop last week).
5. Statement Socks

So many of us have to wear uniforms of some sort. So it’s nice when you can go crazy with your hosiery.
