Fall Trends III - Leather

Before I jump into this week's post, I have a correction to make.  I misspelled Wrapture by Inese.  Please forgive me Inese!  This week, we are going to take a look at leather.  This is supposed to be a staple this season.  Ingenuity Team members have many options, a few of those I will share with you today.

Elegant Leather Necklace in Gold and Green from Fushia Gold

This lovely necklace from Fushia Gold packs many trends into one interesting piece.  The leather pieces remind me of leaves, and the greens and gold mirror nature.

Leather Pillow Cover from VF Illustration

This navy suede and tan leather pillow from VF Illustration is a timeless way to bring the leather trend into your home/office/studio decor.

Red Leather Cross-body Bag from Carol S. Miller

Bags are an obvious way to implement leather into your wardrobe.  This smooth, red, Italian leather bag from Carol S. Miller is a smile inducing way to do just that.

Crow Leather Cuff Bracelet from Follow My Heart Studio

The original ink and wash painting set in a silver filigree setting turns this one of a kind cuff from Follow My Heart Studio into a statement piece.  Recycled imitation leather is used, making it both eco and vegan friendly.

Fall 2013 Trends - Green

When I look at the colors for Fall 2013, I think nature in jewel tones.  Greens from the forest, Blues from the sky, splashes of red and orange, keeping things lively.  This week, I am focusing on green.  Emerald, the 2013 color of the year, still plays a major role, with complementary shades along for the ride.  Imagine taking a stroll along a forest path, pointing out the different hues.  A hat in moss, earrings from a rare bird, a collection of clips to match the leaves, and a super soft garment to help you blend in with it all.  This is what I found this week from the Ingenuity Team.

Vintage 1960's Moss Green Hat from Vintage Edition

The greens of this vintage hat from Vintage Edition are right on trend.  The hat itself is divine.  It would add a pleasant, surprise to any outfit.

Feather Earrings from Still Tree Jewelry

These earrings from Still Tree Jewelry make me think of an exotic bird.  This would be a great way to add interest and color to an ensemble with out going over board.

Resin Snap Clip Collection from Rotifera

Having trouble deciding on your green of choice?  This collection of resin clips from Rotifera will have you covered.

Lichen Lime Bolero Shrug from Rapture by Inese

Perfect for chilly autumn days, this part shrug, part infinity with arms from Wrapture by Inese fits the bill.  The angora kid and silk that this is knit from ensure that it is light weight and luxurious.













I hope that everyone has a lovely weekend!
