Dreamy Accessories From the 2015 SS FW You’ll Love!

From New York to London and Milan, we’ve seen beautiful clothes from our favorite designers for the next time the spring and Summer fashion season comes upon us, which of course will be in 2015. I’ve shown you only a few of the awesome clothes but we all know(me especially) that clothes will not be best appreciated without the accessories that are styled with them. Bags, shoes, Jewelry and even make up all put the looks together in the designers’ unique ways and we can’t afford to miss their efforts can we? From clutches to barrel bags and hobos to minaudieres, we have been wowed.

What’s your style personality? classic and chic? boho or lady? seek and you will find the accessory to fit your desires… also notice the bushy eyebrow trend still very present and the turbans from the Missoni runway.  There are strappy sandals at every turn and I love the embellished flats and bejeweled T straps by Dolce & Gabbana. the Burberry sneakers are a beauty along with their Bee Bags which are already on the arms on celebrities and models like Cara Delevingne. I’m sure it wasn’t lost on the designers too as they went all out to offer for the buying of course, accessories we can be sure to see hitting the stores soon…

River Island’s New Shoe Designs.

High street brand River Island teams up with Blogger and Finnish native Sandra Hagelstam, of 5 Inch and Up to design a capsule of shoes, six styles actually, in different textures of suede, pony skin and mock croc. Though they will actually be launching in November, we get to view 4 of  the sketches on this collection.

Sandra, a blogger and Commercial designer, began blogging in 2010 showing her readers a daily log of her own style and about 3 years later, was invited by Diesel to help in their redesigning campaign. Now she’s doing the same for this high street brand!

“I’ve aimed to design a powerful and seductive collection for strong women who understand the importance of a simplified statement shoe and I’m eager to see how women will be styling the range,” said Hagelstam to Vogue UK  “It’s been a fantastic experience working with the great team of buyers and designers at River Island in creating this collection and I hope it will be as fun to wear as it has been to design the shoes.”

The Sketches :

River Island does make great shoes so we should be looking forward to something really worth shopping for here. good for you Sandra!

Styling The Jeffrey Campbell Booties…

Good Morning my Stylish readers, it’s a wet morning here in Abuja and you know how I feel about the rain so you know it’s going to be a late morning! Anyway, I had to do a wardrobe assessment and style some clothes for a friend turned client, Emem. Remember her? my not-so-little black dress story? well, she needed to have her wardrobe assessed to, among other things,  figure out new ways to wear her clothes and then she told me about these Jeffrey Campbell booties she had bought from polyvore that she really liked but just didn’t know how to style  especially given her lifestyle where you know, she was working most of the time.

I gave her a few ideas- skinnies,a lovely ankle length plisse skirt, shorts, onesies etc. We arrived at 3 looks (that was OK for her- she is not the trying out lots of clothes sort of person 🙂 )

For starters though, so she could afford a more serious look with the booties, we decided to shop this really cute chocolate peplum skirt to try out with them and see how it turned out!

These beautiful lace up booties was also designed in lace of leaf green, beige, brown (the heels), white and a peep of black.

We started with this matching green top and the peplum skirt I talked about which is one of my best looks, but for the sleeves!!! A sleeveless, cap or small petal sleeves would have rocked this look better but we had too much going on here what with the belts at the wrists and all! this  just took the look to an edge we didn’t like! perhaps with another outfit, another look…. but with this look, we had to keep going.

With the colors, this look was really awesome! That peplum skirt was a hit! I love the fit, the way it brings out her curves!!

This Salmon pink shirt dress is a good look out for a day out right? the color of the dress makes the booties look more interesting!

This shirt dress was a really good match too. The salmon pink suits her skin and I love the girly turned edgy look…

 

…And then there was the ivory silk top with embellishments. She really loved this look  I’m sure you can see why. Really nice look I must say but I’d like you to make some contributions. Which look do you think went best on my stylista here?

Did we do OK?

My Verche Story…

Hello my very stylish readers, I do hope you’re enjoying these posts on accessories, particularly statement jewelry  because i’m having a blast! After this you should not have any reasons not to stand out at work or at any event for that matter!

Today it’s about me… well to an extent and I very well deserve it don’t I? I mean talking about these beautiful pieces should have made you wonder what it’s doing to me right? what can I show off from my wardrobe? is there a place for the simple minimalist like me?… what’s my story?

So here they are, my Verche pieces, courtesy of Verche L’Art cessoire for moi! I obviously had fun with these pictures and you must know I took these photos last night! Thanks to my friends Ayo and Nnete Oladiran who I pulled out of their routine to take these 100 photos a second pictures!!!! It was an eventful evening but worth it hey? I absolutely love these jewelry pieces- Simple, versatile and yes, quite L’ Art cessoire!!!

This is really versatile. You could wear the necklace and earrings with jeans and simple clothing, for a quick trip out of the house but not wanting to lose your stylish touch if you know what i mean ;).

This looped set below looks good with dresses also and against the black, it’s hard to miss. I like the size and length and I just can’t begin to tell you all the outfits I’ll be wearing these with!

 

Ahh the Emerald/Pine and Silver! This was definitely my favorite! see how the contrast works against my skin tone? priceless!

 

I did get a bit carried away as you may have noticed but was quickly drawn back… no drifting  here!

What a fun week I’ve had with the team at Verche L’Art cessoire and of course Madam Verche. If you haven’t had the time to visit the store online or in Abuja if you live around, please do and let me know your thoughts. Also, remember to ask for their new pieces which you will be seeing first off below.

More importantly though, there’s a two-week wallet relief  for your shopping experience as she will be giving  10% off products for you, my awesome stylistas and for those who want to push to a 20% off (who wouldn’t ?!) drop by the store and answer a fun question which will get you that double score!!! be sure to give up this code also: VERCHE526.

Now for the new pieces:

You like? lots of rubies, emeralds, pearls and all things nice!

So what do you think? hot?  or hmm…

 

Hugs :))

Meeting Madam Verche.

Madam Verche is the name her friends call her because not only is she the CEO of the famous brand Verche L ‘Art cessoire, but she knows her brand like the back of her perfectly manicured hand! She not only retails some of the best Jewelry in the country ranging from costume to silver and gold; she also creates and designs these unique pieces.

Ibok Offiong, a mother of 3, began her company almost 4 years ago and since then,  has grown it to this wonderful jewelry brand. I sat with her for a few hours at her home and while we chatted I was able to structure these few questions for her,  to give you, my stylish readers an insight to the mind and achievements of this Nigerian Jewelry Designer and retailer:

1. What does Verche L’ Art cessoire mean and what are your achievements 3 or 4 years on?

 Verche L’Art cessoire means Vera & Chloe’s Art of Accessories, which are my daughters names. I came up with the name in French because the business was birth in Paris. We have been in business since September 2010 really, that’s over 3 years now and still counting. Some of our achievements include, winning Accessory Designer of the year 2012 by The Nigerian Entertainment Award, Winning YOUWIN award by the Federal Ministry of Finance, Nigeria in May,2013, Being invited to feature on the Plitz New York Fashion week on September 9th 2013, Being featured on Moments with Mo on 26th December 2013 and recently jointly organizing a successful event with 2 friends in Maryland, USA, an event called “All Things Nigerian Expo,2014” on May 26th,2014. Looking forward to more achievements.

Madam Verche- Ibok Offiong

2. What is the most memorable experience your position as Madam Verche / CEO has exposed you to?

My most memorable experience was meeting the Black Peoples Entertainment CEO and her loving and acquiring my piece at the pop up store after the runway show at New York Fashion Week.

Me with TV Personality Ebuka and Stylist Barbie at the ‘Ages of Fashion’ Runway Show in Transcorp Hilton Abuja, which was my first runway show as a brand.

3. What’s your best Verche piece/Accessory /Collection /Line and why is it your best?

 I love more than one piece really, and a few of them include the “Zahara” (it’s a tribal loop/coral set), “Rowen Berry” (pearls and links/chain combo), “Ixora”(pearls/toothpick corals combo), “Fleur”(Gold chain/Red Corals) and “Bryony”(multicolored crystals). All this pieces are under our Floral Collections and our “ADORN” Line .

Zahara

Rowen Berry

Fleur

Bryony

Ixora- The Pearls and Tooth pick Corals.

 (These pieces are all available at the Verche L’Art cessoire store in Abuja, Address below).

So there you have it! Need I say more? You have been shopping and viewing her pieces the past few days so let me know what you think now that you know the brains… or hands, behind the brand.

Drop by tomorrow if you want more and I know you do, of her new accessories just arrived ! there is also a special Madam Verche Discount to be had, so be the first to shop and wear and, you know, change the game as one of my ‘stylistas’ !

Till tomorrow,

 Hugs :))

Your Best Statement Jewelry For Work.

Hello Stylish readers, no small talk because I’m so excited- my new-found love for statement  jewelry just stepped up! so now that you have your arms loaded with the right statement jewelry for events, should we perhaps veer to the work side of things?

I know dressing for work can be boring and as if it were not bad enough, some offices give off dress codes like it was promotion worthy! grey, black, navy and anything neutral is the go-to for most work places and that can be daunting… but I say, not entirely! It could also serve as the perfect backdrop for the best of accessories! while you may be sanctioned for wearing out-of-place outfits or colors to work, no one is going to fine you for some really dazzling jewelry can they?… but I’m not saying to go chunky like the rap stars of the 80s or 90s though.

This is what I mean:

 

I honestly love these. The simple loops with the green and red pearls, those earrings like rested wings, the corals against the black dress, those huge grey pearls and oh! the art deco intertwined piece of gold, with rich blue stones are probably my best look outs!

Do shop these lovely pieces and start every Monday morning with a spring on your step!

You can find these unique pieces at : http://www.vercheonline.com, or email:  ibok@vercheonline.com.

Hugs as always,

:))
