Trend Spotting: Animal Prints

I never thought the fervor over animal prints in fashion would last. But it's stronger than it's ever been for Fall 2013. It's been seen on the runways during Fashion Week on everything from calf skin boots to nail polish, bomber jackets to evening gowns. Beautiful to look at but often difficult to wear, you can choose to drape yourself in it head to toe (please don't, unless you wear it like this), select one main item like a skirt or a top, or you can select an accessory or two to compliment neutral colors for a sophisticated look.

My Holiday 2013 Jewelry Collection will feature a few necklaces and earrings in this dramatic trend, like #4 the Animale Necklace in the style board below plus some fabulous metals that mix and match perfectly with animal prints. New items will preview online in our Bauble Lounge and will be available exclusively at our Private Trunk Shows beginning November 6.
