Metal accents started being de rigueur a few seasons ago, but it was mostly on heels and sandals. Yves Saint Laurent’s (when it was still Yves Saint Laurent) Spring 2012 collection had those epic pairs of pumps with the gold plates, which caused Style.com’s Tim Blanks to note, “The shoes! The shoes! Front-rowers Kylie Minogue and Elettra Wiedemann could barely tear their… [MORE] eyes away from the footwear.” Chloe took modern Grecian chic to the next level with pairs of demi-heels and sandals with metal straps about the ankle. Even Lanvin got into the metal cuff game. Giuseppe Zanotti, however, is adding major style to streetwear with these leather sneaks (seen above) featuring gold wraparound bands. And to think this whole time we never knew what our kicks were missing.

![Embrace Earthiness
By Jauretsi
I’m scratching days off of my calendar in anticipation of the Chris Benz and Ruffian limited edition items to be sold on eBay this November 12th. The pieces belong to a special capsule collection created and released by eBay (think seven awesome designers in total).
Both Ruffian and Chris Benz created scarves in clean neutrals, although Chris designed his with a floral pattern on the reverse side. We suggest you follow Chris’s lead and cleverly mix your tans with shades of orange, green, and light pink — [MORE] all making for a sweet transition into fall/winter season. The goal is to have a neutral base with at least one strong pop of color, whether it’s on the lips or sprinkling in any one of the accessories above. The leaf necklace is the golden touch that drives the earth spirit all the way home.
