Chic Chains

IMG_720s2
I'm very picky with accessories. I'm not typically a fan of "piling it all on" and I'm careful with how much I accessorize in an outfit. I also rarely see a piece that I just have to have, but when I spotted the Lyra Shoe Jewelry by Blue Vanilla, I fell in love! It is such a brilliant idea. It is unique, edgy yet beautiful, fun, and the perfect way to add an extra element of intricate detail to an outfit. It's a great way to draw attention to your favourite pair of heels, or to add a flair to a simple pair! Not only is the Lyra a stunning design, but it is also carefully handmade with love and care with a result of the utmost quality. It can be difficult to order jewelry online, without the ability to closely examine and feel the materials with your own hands. I was beyond impressed with Blue Vanilla shoe jewelry!! I can assure you this piece is a phenominal price for such high quality. I've always had a fondness of chains and love a little edge, so the Lyra immediately won my heart! There are also two additional beautiful shoe jewelry designs to chose from. I think we will be seeing a lot more shoe jewelry popping up in 2012, with Blue Vanilla leading the way! Here is how I styled my Lyra.... Happy 2012 lovelies!

  6. And this kind of detail (intrinsically) is far to be accessory, as much this One punctuates your "Vavavoooomittude" as an electrifying twist : Like an uber appealing "stylish paradox" . . .
    ps: With All my Best Wishes for the New Year cara Rachel ("Kind aesthete's smile") !!!

    a presto, Antoine

  30. Beautiful photos Rachel! I love the ankle jewelry you've got going on here. I'm the same way with jewelry; I only buy what I love, but then...where I differ, is that I never wear it! I'm making more of an effort this year.
