UNDER A SPELL

I recently came across Australian fashion label Spell, created by sisters Elizabeth and Isabella Briedis and was immediately enthralled. Abundant use of feathers? Check. Funky turquoise jewelry? Of course. This stuff is right up my alley. 

Having been fascinated by the combination of leather, turquoise, and feathers since childhood, Elizabeth and Isabella initially started Spell as a jewelry label, taking inspiration from Native American adornments and selling their wares in a flea market stall. Before long, they branched out into other accessories (handbags, wallets, headbands), shoes, and clothing, never straying from their hippie chic aesthetic. They recently opened their own flagship boutique, Spell- The Gypsy Collective, which carries recycled and vintage items in addition to the Spell label. It's no wonder that their beautifully handcrafted pieces have already been spotted on celebs like Sienna Miller and Isabel Lucas. I'll be anxiously awaiting the label's arrival to the States! In the meantime, check out their amazing collection and lookbook here and their gorgeous blog/inspiration here.

PILE IT ON

"When accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put on"- Coco Chanel

If wearing to much jewelry is a fashion faux pas, then I am definitely guilty!!!
Wearing an abundance of funky vintage jewelry always adds a little spice to your style and makes a statement that people can't ignore. When wearing multiple bracelets and rings at once make sure to create a common theme between the different types of jewelry in order to avoid looking too chaotic.

This look uses the turquoise cuff as a statement piece and the gold bangles as accent pieces.

The different colors and shapes of the stones in both the rings and bracelet really compliment each other beautifully.
