Gold, Silver, Copper, and Bronze are no longer reserved for jewelry...metals are being used in everything from handbags, to tunics, to studded pumps. The great thing about a uniquely metalized item is that when paired with everyday basics, the metallic piece transforms your outfit into a statement look. When it comes to keeping your metal statement around your neck, make sure you step it up a notch! You can throw on a pair of basic skinny jeans, and a simple white tee and look boring as hell, but top it off with a metal infused Fiona Paxton necklace and your outfit has gone from drab to fab! I am personally obsessed with Fiona Paxton's pieces, as she has given birth to a new era of necklaces. Anyone can design an awesome pendant, but Fiona's beadwork and unique design, creates a necklace that draws the eye and sparks up a conversation. (available at Beanie + Cecil)
Take Phillip Lim's Asymmetrical Tromp-L'Oeil Sequin Back Top. This show stopping piece is all you need to grab someone's attention. Nothing can compete with this top, so why even try? A piece like this must be paired with something simple, like a great pair of black slacks or a pair of your favorite "go-to" skinny jeans. Add a pair of "Come-Hither" heels, and you are ready for a night out on the town. No jewelry necessary, this top is it's own accessory....the amazing metal sequin detailing, which is not only featured on the front, but also covers the entire back.

Metal Mesh purses are totally hot! As you know, I have a huge love for vintage...and have found myself owning quite a few metal mesh pieces. There is something about the design of a metal mesh handbag that I find absolutely beautiful. My black purse I found at a tiny vintage store while living in NYC. It is a perfect purse to add to a simple silhouette, giving my look a little added flair. My mother purchased the pictured Whiting & Davis silver metal evening bag for me last Christmas. Amazingly fantastic when added to nearly any style cocktail dress. There is nothing like running your fingers along this metal mesh fabric, and these purses will never be out of style. Pop into your favorite vintage hot spot and you are likely to find a metal mesh addition to your handbag collection.
