Accessories in Demand 2013

This year its all about the arm candy. Boyfriend watches with chunky gold bracelets/necklaces and accents of other pops of color are in, in a huge way! Floral head crowns are making a big stamp. Kind of a hippie chic if you will. Futuristic holographic shoes, clutches and handbags; Bracelets with inspirational words upon them; Harness and knee braces worn as key style staples to make any outfit stand out even more. Some accessories are still in demand this year coming in from 2012: skulls, spikes and crosses on everything. For a while, i thought these two would just be a fad but this is a staying trend. I kind of like it.

Advice Post

HI Fashion Blogger:

Do you have any tips for women who like the effect that wearing heels gives them (i.e., height, sex appeal) but find it uncomfortable to wear them?

Hey T.Denise,

Thanks for asking a question! I would suggest wearing wedges, heels with a platform, or the type with a thick back heel. They both have flat bottoms, so your foot is actually elevated but still has the comfort and stability of a flat shoe. Also, i find Dr.Scholls clear inserts very helpful for those "oh-so-cute-but-hurt-like-hell" heels. lol Here are a few example of cute but comfy fashion forward heels. Whatever you do, DO NOT WEAR KITTEN HEELS (3 inches) they are fashion suicide! Hope this helps. lol

For some reason, i have been attracted to neutral colors this Winter. It all started with seeing Kanye West and his muse aka Kim Kardashian. I never understood the whole wearing leather pants in the summer but the look was so attractive, come winter i decided to go with it. Adding accents like gold watches, necklaces, and bracelets makes the look even more lux if you do it right. It also has somewhat of a gangster feel to it if you will lol. Hope this post can be some inspiration to you guys. Enjoy. -Folshi
